Organic WayMarshmallow Leaf Cut & Sifted (Althaea officinalis) - Cough & Cold Relief | Organic & Kosher Certified | Vegan, Non GMO & Gluten Free | USDA Certified | Origin - Albania (1 LBS)

I love to eat and not all agrees with me . I found this product wanting a natural remedy and I am tickled ! There is no one all cure for everyone but this sure helped me !

Why pay for a box of 1/8 filled paper bags when you can scoop the cut root right into your tea ball every day. This product is well packaged and arrives quickly. All you have to do is supply the ball and you will save a lot of money in the long run. I'll be buying more for great flavor, handy packaging, and good G.I. health. This is anti-inflammatory and will sooth your acid reflux.

OK, maybe a bit of an exaggeration, but not much.The brand that I used to buy is no longer available on Amazon, so I was forced to find a substitute. I bought this product to use as marshmallow leaf tea, based primarily on the fact that the ingredients list had only 1 item on it: “marshmallow leaves”. I don’t expect a manufacturing process to be able to get all of the stems out of a product like this, but at least make an effort! There are so many stems and twigs in this product, of so many sizes and shapes, that one can only conclude that no attempt was made at all to collect only “leaves” for this product.The package includes a healthy dose of what could be vines, as well as some small and even pretty large cut sections of what could almost be classified as wood - certainly “twigs” would be an accurate description. There were also dried dark purple flowers (I’ll give the benefit of the doubt that these could be previously light-purple marshmallow blossoms) and seeds and blades of some kind of grass. All told, there is so much unknown material in this product, I have to question whether it is safe to consume as a food product. Of course, as a food product it is ineligible for return to Amazon, so expensive lesson learned: maybe bagged tea is not so pricey after all!If you haven’t figured it out by this point, let me be clear: I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT AS A CONSUMABLE BOTANICAL!!! Perhaps for some external use only application, but even if I sorted out the twigs, there is enough unknown material in this blend that I can’t imagine drinking or cooking with it. Stay away for your own good.

I was emptying my bag into Mason jars and found plastic pieces mixed in with Marshmallow leaf. Now I'm not sure that it is safe to use this product.

Doctor said do not use. Wasted money could not return.

Great quality and good packaging.

As expected, stems and small twigs that have to be sorted out before you can smoke it. I. Make my own mix of mullen, marshmallow , and raspberry leaves. Marshmallow reminds me of the smell of alfalfa when feeding the horses in the winter. Got rid of those money pits, they were worse than owning a boat ! CHOWHOUUND
