What is Cassava Leaves Powder?
Cassava Leaves Powder, offered by Nilgiri Stores, is a finely ground powder derived from carefully selected and dried cassava leaves (Manihot esculenta). This powder retains the nutritional benefits of the leaves, offering a convenient way to incorporate them into your diet. Our cassava leaves are sourced from trusted farms known for sustainable practices. The leaves are dried at low temperatures to preserve their vitamins and minerals, then milled into a fine, consistent powder with a particle size of approximately 100-200 microns. This ensures easy mixing and absorption. It's commonly used in traditional Indian cooking, especially in tribal communities, and is gaining popularity as a natural supplement due to its potential health benefits. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure purity and safety.

Buying Guide - How to Choose
When buying Cassava Leaves Powder, consider these factors: * **Source and Quality:** Look for powder sourced from reputable suppliers who practice sustainable farming. Enquire about the drying and milling process; sun-dried or shade-dried is preferred to retain nutrients. * **Colour and Texture:** A good quality powder should have a consistent light green colour and a fine, smooth texture. Avoid powders with a brownish tint or coarse particles, as they might be of lower quality. * **Packaging:** Ensure the powder is packaged in airtight, food-grade containers to prevent moisture absorption and spoilage. Check for proper sealing. * **Certifications:** While not always available, certifications like organic or FSSAI can indicate higher quality standards. * **Dosage:** Start with small doses (e.g., 1-2 teaspoons per day) and gradually increase as needed. Consult a healthcare professional if you have any underlying health conditions or concerns. * **Avoid:** Buying in bulk if you are unsure of how quickly you will use it. Exposure to air and moisture degrades the powder's quality.
