Jamaican Sarsaparilla Root (Coarse Powder)

The Root Jamaicans Have Called "Sarsi" for Centuries.

Known across Jamaica as Sarsi, Sarsaparilla Root (Smilax regelii) has been used for centuries as one of the island's most revered tonic herbs — a cornerstone of Caribbean roots culture and a staple in traditional Jamaican wellness practice for generations. Said to carry one of the highest natural concentrations of iron found in any plant, it is the go-to botanical for those seeking to support strong, vital, iron-rich blood.
