Fresh Kava Root Versus Dried Kava Root
Unless you reside on or visit one of the many tropical islands where the gorgeous kava plant thrives, you are likely to only come across dried or pre-prepared best kava roots and Kava Capsules products. Although, in an ideal world, it would be able to export fresh kava root to people all over the world, the fresh root does not store well once it has been extracted from the ground, making shipping practically impossible. Dried kava root that has been powdered, on the other hand, will keep for more than two years, while dried kava root that has been minimally treated will keep for much longer. As a result, rather than dealing with the problems of shipping the root fresh, kava exporters choose to sell the dried root.
Nonetheless, I'd like to take a moment to praise the numerous qualities of fresh Kava Tincture, so that if you ever get the opportunity to work with it, you grab it without hesitation. To begin with, fresh kava root is nearly always more potent than dried kava root, and it will almost always taste sweeter as well. When purchasing dried kava root, it can be difficult to determine how old it is - some companies undoubtedly keep their dried root sitting on shelves for months, if not years - but with fresh kava, you can be confident that it was collected recently. Furthermore, the immature lateral roots of kava are known to taste significantly sweeter than the plant's older taproot, which is likely due to varying alkaloid concentrations in the plant's lateral and vertical roots. When you buy fresh root, you know precisely what type and strain of kava root you're getting. This added degree of customization will allow you to create the best kava experience you truly desire.
Don't be disappointed if you don't live in a Kava growing area and can't imagine a future in which you might be able to visit one. I have some wonderful news for you. It is entirely possible to make your dried kava root experience as close to 'fresh' as possible with a little careful effort! The most important thing is to select a source that provides high-quality dried kava that has not been hanging about for an extended period of time. Because no company will admit to providing stale kava, here are some guidelines for determining which kava provider is the best:
1. If feasible, purchase your kava directly from a farm. Kava farms sell to retail shops, kava bars, and individuals, and thus have a far greater turnover rate than retailers. As a result, kava purchased directly from a farm is significantly fresher. Fortunately, there are numerous kava farms that will sell to you straight via the Internet.
2. The more information a Kava seller provides on the Kava Capsules product, the better. Look for references to the particular strain utilized, where the best kava is farmed, and even the kavalactone content! There are many different kinds of Kava Tincture, and this information will help you figure out which ones are best for you.
3. Finally, a good technique to tell if your dry kava is powerful is to see if the prepared kava beverage numbs the insides of your mouth and tongue. The more numbing you feel, the higher the concentration of kavalactones in the dried kava.
By following these guidelines and conducting some research, you will be able to create a dried kava experience that is as near to the fresh kava experience as feasible. And if you ever find yourself in a Pacific island location, make it a point to seek out some fresh kava root - you won't be sorry!
