Botanical Name: Harpagophytum procumbens Country of Origin: southern Africa Common Name: Devil’s Claw Root English Name: Devil’s Claw Root Cut & Sifted French Name: Racine de Griffe du Diable Coupée et Tamisée Also Known As: Harpagophytum procumbens Root, Dried Devil’s Claw Root, Devil’s Claw Herb C/S Part Used: Dried secondary storage roots of Harpagophytum procumbens Description: Devil’s Claw Root C/S is prepared from the secondary storage roots of Harpagophytum procumbens, a perennial plant native to the arid regions of southern Africa. The plant develops elongated, tuber-like roots beneath the soil surface, which are harvested at full maturity to ensure consistent size, colour, and botanical quality. After harvesting, the roots are thoroughly washed to remove soil and surface impurities, then sliced into manageable sections. These pieces are dried using controlled air-drying or low-temperature methods to reduce moisture while preserving the natural light tan to brown colour and fibrous internal structure of the root material. Once fully dried, the root slices are cut and sifted into uniform pieces to produce a stable, clean, and easy-to-handle botanical ingredient. The finished cut and sifted root retains its natural dense texture and characteristic appearance, making it suitable for blending, storage, and further processing. Uses: Devil’s Claw Root C/S is used in tea-style infusions, herbal beverage blends, botanical craft projects, decorative herb displays, and educational herb kits. It is also suitable for cosmetic formulations, natural dye work, and creative projects where dried root material is valued for its texture, colour, and distinctive botanical form. Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
