Greater Celandine Powder is a finely milled, strongly bitter botanical powder made from carefully dried Chelidonium majus. It is traditionally reserved for specialist bitter blends, short-term teas and extracts where careful handling and professional guidance are appropriate. The powder format measures quickly and disperses easily, but it also requires extra care because it is harder to separate from liquids than cut herb. This is a potent herb best suited to experienced formulators and herbal users working with conservative, short-term preparation routines.
♡ Why we love it: Greater celandine powder offers a firm, classic bitter profile for advanced herbal formulation. It is useful where a strong cholagogue-style bitter accent is wanted, provided it is handled with caution, careful measuring and professional oversight.
