Red Root (Ceanothus spp.) is a hardy North American shrub that has been valued for generations for both its practical and herbal uses. The cut and sifted roots display a pinkish-red hue, with a naturally spicy, minty scent and a high tannin content that adds depth to their flavor and aroma.

Traditionally, the root has been harvested in spring or summer and dried in the shade, producing a striking natural dye. Beyond crafting, red root can also be steeped as a tea or blended into other herbal infusions for everyday use.
