Botanical Name: Sanguinaria Canadensis Country Of Origin: USA English Name: Bloodroot Also Known As: Bloodroot Cut & Sifted, Sanguinaria canadensis Root C/S, Redroot, Red Indian Paint, Tetterwort Part Used: Dried root of Sanguinaria canadensis, cut and sifted Description: Bloodroot C/S is produced from the dried root of Sanguinaria canadensis, a perennial woodland plant native to eastern North America. The plant grows from a small rhizome and reaches a height of 10–20 cm during spring, producing a single white flower and a rounded, lobed leaf that unfurls as the plant matures. The rhizomes are harvested once the plant reaches full seasonal growth, cleaned to remove natural soil residue, and dried to preserve their firm structure and characteristic reddish-orange interior. After drying, the roots are cut into uniform pieces and sifted to create a consistent botanical material. Sanguinaria canadensis develops thick rhizomes with a dense, fibrous texture that shows a natural red to orange colouring when fresh. When dried and processed, the pieces maintain their natural earthy tones and firm structure. The cut-and-sifted form provides manageable fragments that integrate easily into botanical mixtures, visual craft projects, and educational herb collections. The harvested rhizomes are washed, dried using controlled warm-air methods or low-temperature air-drying, and mechanically cut and sifted for uniformity. The final ingredient reflects the root’s natural appearance and structural characteristics. Uses: Bloodroot C/S is used in botanical craft blends, resin art, decorative jar arrangements, potpourri-style mixtures, and herb-themed educational kits. Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
