A Gentian Root Taste Test: Funny to the Bitter End
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- Gentian is an herbaceous plant with a bitter root that has been used in traditional European herbalism, Ayurveda, and in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for centuries: used as a digestive tonic, in recovery situations, and to support a healthy liver. Gentian root powder can be used in extracts, bitters blends, and herbal formulations. Watch members of the Mountain Rose Herbs team taste this root for the first time!
Spoiler alert: some herbs are better capsulated, added to foods or beverages that mask its flavor, or added into other formulations.

Very healthy for your liver and stomach
It's always really fun tasting an herb. But maybe not a whole spoonful! This video was just adorable. Good fun for all plant lovers!
A life lesson was learned that day: not all heathy things are delicious on their own!! Glad you enjoyed this taste test, we love getting all our staff involved in the process :) - Gracie
Shawn is really funny. This whole video concept for tasting is awesome.
Make Genziana a digestive with it, delicious. Also found in Moxie
Would describe the taste as extremely bitter. I used gentian root extract as a way to help gain over 35 lbs some years ago. Was very underweight and using gentian root caused my stomach to empty faster so that I could eat more. I could put 8 drops from an eye dropper in 8 oz of orange juice and could still taste it. Mind you one has to use more than 8 drops per use to get the affect that I was after. For a hard weight gainer I found it to be very useful for that purpose.
😄😄 "...Earthy & dirty..." I love it! 😁❤
😂Bitter dandelion root...something you don't want in your mouth at all...Bah, ha, ha, ha... that was the best honest description I've heard. 😂🤣😂
Glad you enjoyed it 😂 Thanks for watching! - Gracie
It's the secret ingredient of the Maine soda Moxie
I literally just tasted some in the middle of this video for the first time and wow it does taste pretty bad and I have a buggy tolerance for bitter herbs… my entire body shuddered
Where do you order that?
You can find gentian root it multiple forms on our website: mountainroseherbs.com/search-results-page?q=gentian I hope that helps!
Hey how did i find this 🤔😅
I've never tried it. My...to date...worst tasting herb I love is spilanthes; if I only had room for one tiny pouch in my pocket, it's probably going to be the one.
Made for putting in caps. lol
😂
It's kind of funny, but you also just gave people a life-long aversion to a plant by introducing it in the worst possible way?
Luckily, most of our herb-loving staff members were still open to taking it again, just in a different form. It can only get better from here. ;-) ~Jessicka
