Orris Root Ground Powder Spice

Description Price Quantity
Orris Root Ground Powder Standard Jar 55g £4.25

Orris root powder comes from the ground bulbs of an European iris.  Traditionally, it 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.  It 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.
