Prodigiosa Powder 4 oz (Hierba Prodigiosa) for Tea

Prodigiosa powder, 4 oz. Known botanically as Brickellia grandiflora, grown and harvested in Mexico, and called hierba prodigiosa or simply la prodigiosa in Spanish. One ingredient, milled fine, nothing added.

How to use it, and why the powder is different

Stir 1 teaspoon into 4 fl oz of boiling water, mix well, cover and let it stand 2 to 3 minutes, then drink. That is the whole method. There is no strainer and nothing to throw away, because the herb has already been milled. Stir it again before you drink, since powder settles.

What it tastes like

Bitter, and it does not hide it. This is one of the most bitter things in the whole range. Most people take it as a small shot in a little water rather than sipping a mug of it, which is exactly what the label directions describe. If you would rather not taste it at all, the capsules exist for that reason.

What is in the bag

Prodigiosa powder and nothing else. One ingredient, no fillers, no additives and no flow agents.

What prodigiosa is, and its other names

A shrubby plant of the Mexican highlands, known botanically as Brickellia grandiflora. It does not really have a common English name, so English speakers use the Spanish one. You will also see it written hierba prodigiosa, la prodigiosa, planta prodigiosa or simply prodigiosa.

Powder or capsules

The powder is the cheaper of the two per gram and it is what you want if you are making the herbal shot or a tincture. It is genuinely bitter, and you will taste it. The 90 capsule version is measured for you and you taste nothing at all, which for this particular herb is the whole reason people choose it. Same plant, same country, two different tolerances.

How to store it

Tightly closed in a dry place at room temperature, 59 to 86°F (15 to 30°C), as printed on the bag.
