Orris Root Ground Powder Spice

Steenbergs Orris Root Powder is another one of Steenbergs range of specialist herbs, spices and seasonings.  Steenbergs Orris Root comes from the ground bulbs of an European iris.  Traditionally, orris has been used in Western herbal medicine as a base for pot pourri, perfumes, eg "Y" by Yves St Laurent, and as one of the spices in traditional gins, eg Bombay Sapphire Gin.  Steenbergs Organic blends it into its ras al hanut spice mix.  Orris is also commonly used in making pomanders, which are perfumed balls often made using an orange.  Orris root has a sweet and lingeringly woody aroma.


Steenbergs Orris Root Powder is another specialist spice that Axel Steenberg has had great fun tracking down and is only sold to our web customers, and we don't sell to trade.
