Barberry Root, known scientifically as Berberis vulgaris, originates from lush European landscapes. With its striking yellow bark, Barberry Root is not just a beautiful garden entity; it also transitions from striking autumnal crimson berries to a source of zest for culinary preserves. The hardy shrub, reaching up to nine feet, has been cherished from the 19th-century New England communities to today’s kitchens, establishing its versatility and enduring appeal for consumption.
Barberry Root is known for its rich bioactive makeup, including the alkaloid berberine, which imparts its characteristic bright yellow color. Berberine supports digestive health and weight management, as well as imparting immune supportive benefits. Bio-Botanica proudly offers Barberry Root in our line of botanical ingredients.
