What is LEKRASET dandelion root and in what form is it sold? — Sandwich roots 50g – Lekraset

LEKRASET Võilille juured is dried dandelion root in cut form, packed in 50 g packs. The product has a single ingredient: it contains only root material, with no fillers, flavourings or excipients.

Dandelion root contains bitter compounds — substances that give the infusion its characteristic taste and that are traditionally linked to the interest in this plant in herbal programmes. The root also contains inulin, a plant fibre that is not broken down in the same way as ordinary carbohydrates. Products with inulin are often added to the diet by people who want to vary its dietary fibre content.

The cut format is designed for making a herbal infusion: the material is covered with water, brought to the boil, left to infuse for 1 hour and strained. This is a classic method that needs no special equipment and is familiar to anyone who already works with herbal blends.

The product suits people who appreciate a transparent composition and a traditional approach to herbal products, as well as those who prefer to avoid multi-ingredient blends and capsule forms. Dandelion has long been used in the European herbal tradition — its roots, leaves and flowers have been used in home practice and in cooking in many countries.

The product is not a medicine and is not a substitute for a balanced diet. Before using it if you have a chronic condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take medication, it is advisable to consult a specialist.
