Oregon Grape Root

Mahonia aquifolium

Oregon Grape Root is a bold, earthy botanical traditionally respected for its deep golden color, naturally bitter character, and grounding presence. Native to the Pacific Northwest, this root has long been incorporated into culinary-inspired bitters, traditional decoctions, and ceremonial preparations where bitterness is intentionally honored as part of mindful practice.

With its rich color and robust flavor profile, Oregon Grape Root is commonly explored in small-batch botanical kitchens, ancestral-inspired food traditions, and intentional wellness rituals rooted in balance, seasonality, and connection to the land.

Each batch is carefully dried, cut, and packaged to preserve the root’s natural aroma, color, and integrity.
