Horsetail (Shave Grass)

Equisetum arvense

Shave Grass, also known as Horsetail, is one of the oldest plants on earth, dating back more than 300 million years. Its stems are so rich in silica that they were once used to scour pots and polish wood, which gave it the name "shave grass." Herbalists treasure it as a mineral-rich herb for beauty from the inside out.

Flavor & Aroma: Mild, grassy and slightly earthy, with a light mineral taste.
