Raintree's piri-piri rhizome powder (Cyperus articulatus) has been milled into a fine powder which is suitable to stuff into capsules or to prepare your own teas, tinctures or extracts. It has been sustainably wild-harvested in the Peruvian Amazon and it is rich in active and beneficial phytochemicals that occur naturally in this plant. Piri-piri is a type of reed-like tropical grass called a "sedge-grass." It can attain the height of 6 feet and grows in damp, marshy and flooded areas along the rivers and streams (where it can help control soil erosion) in the Amazon basin.Piri-piri has been documented to contain flavonoids, polyphenols, saponins, tannins, terpenes and sugars. Many of its biological actions are attributed to various sesquiterpenes called cyperones including two called cyperotundone and alpha-cyperone.* To see pictures of piri-piri, click here.
