Raspberry Leaf Cut Extract (Rubus ideaus) 4:1 - 25G

Raspberry Leaf Cut Extract (Rubus idaeus) 4:1 - packaging 25 g

The raspberry leaf cut extract is a collector’s material from the Canntropy brand, prepared in a 4:1 ratio from the leaves of the common raspberry. The producer, the Czech company Brands of Hemp from Příbram, describes the material as cut, not powdered, and formulates its purpose without ambiguity: it is a product intended solely for collector’s purposes, not for direct consumption or smoking.

If you collect botanical materials or compare plant extracts in terms of ratios and forms, this item is convenient because the producer provides both directly, instead of leaving you with just the trade name. The common raspberry itself is a shrub from the rose family, which according to the producer’s card reaches heights of 1 to 2 meters and produces characteristic, arching shoots.

The material here is leaves, not fruits - and this is a completely different part of the plant than the one you know from the kitchen, and a different scent profile: distinctly green, slightly astringent, without fruity sweetness.

Ingredients

The producer’s card describes the plant material with a set of data common to the entire Canntropy series, supplemented with groups of compounds listed for raspberry leaves:

• Cut leaves of the common raspberry (Rubus idaeus)
• Extract ratio 4:1, provided by the producer on the product card
• Tannins - the first of three groups of compounds that the producer names
• Flavonoids - the second of the listed groups
• Vitamins, with a particular emphasis on vitamin C - the third group, also mentioned without a specified amount

The producer lists three groups of compounds by name - tannins, flavonoids, and vitamins, with a particular emphasis on vitamin C - and stops at this list, so any number you see associated with this extract elsewhere comes from outside its card. The ratio of 4:1 describes the ratio of the starting material to the finished material, that is, the degree of concentration, and this is separate information from the list of compound groups. The first thing that is easy to overlook is the form.

This is cut material - shredded leaves, in which the structure of the leaf blade is still visible - and not a uniform powder, which you get in most items of the same line. For a collector, this is an important difference, as cut material looks different in a jar and reacts differently to moisture than powdered. The producer consistently records this form - in the description and in the trade name.

Moisture is, by the way, a real issue with cut material: shredded leaf has a larger surface area than clumped powder, so a tight seal on the packaging and a dry, dark place, just as the product card states, have measurable significance for the appearance of the material in the collection.

Specification

How to use

Here the answer is short and comes directly from the producer: the card declares a collector’s purpose, so it talks about storage, not preparation. What you actually do with such material looks like this:

• You keep the packaging closed and only open it when you are actually inspecting the contents
• You store it in a dry and dark place - the producer specifies exactly this condition
• You keep it out of reach of children and animals, also according to the producer’s card
• You describe the item in your collection with what the producer declares: species, ratio, form, net weight

If you are looking for a material to do something more with, this line is not the right place - its producer consciously closes the topic of use with a collector’s declaration.

For whom

This extract will suit you if you are building an organized collection of botanical materials and care that each item has a clear description: species, ratio, form, and weight.

The 25 g packaging is clearly larger than sample formats, so it makes sense when you already know the material and want to have it on hand in larger quantities, and not when you are just checking if you will like it. Do not buy it, however, if you are looking for a supplement, tea, or material for a vaporizer - the producer explicitly excludes consumption and smoking.

In that case, reach for an item from another part of our offer, intended exactly for what you are looking for - we have separate shelves for aromatherapy herbs and herbal teas.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 4:1 ratio mean for this extract?

This is the ratio of the mass of the starting material to the mass of the finished material, provided by the producer on the product card. It describes the degree of concentration of the material, and a separate piece of information is the groups of compounds that the producer lists for raspberry leaves. These are two different things and it is worth not confusing them when comparing extracts with each other.

Is it powder or cut material?

Cut. The producer describes the material as cut leaves and the product name sounds the same. This is important because most items in the same line are powdered, and cut material looks different in packaging and reacts differently to moisture. If you encounter a description referring to powder, it pertains to a different material than this one.

What groups of compounds does the producer list?

Three: tannins, flavonoids, and vitamins, with a particular emphasis on vitamin C. They are listed by name, as a description of the raspberry leaf itself, and not as a value table. When comparing extracts, it is worth comparing this list with the 4:1 ratio, because only together do they indicate what groups of compounds and from what concentrated material you have in front of you.

Can I brew tea from this or add it to food?

No. The producer declares the purpose as solely for collector’s use and explicitly states that the material is not intended for direct consumption or smoking. We repeat this declaration without softening it, as it comes from the entity responsible for the product. If you are looking for a material for brewing, choose a product that is intended for that.

Variants and category

The same producer offers a whole series of plant extracts in identical packaging and with the same declared purpose. In our offer from this line, you will find, among others, Koningskaars extract from the small-flowered mullein and extract from the medicinal marshmallow - both items in the same packaging format as this extract. Other sizes of the raspberry leaf extract are currently unavailable from us. All plant materials have been gathered in the Herbs category.

Safety and storage

The producer makes it clear and we repeat it without embellishments: this is collector’s material, not intended for direct consumption or smoking. The product is not a food item, so any dosing circulating for this extract comes from outside the producer’s card and it is not worth relying on it. Store the packaging in a dry and dark place, out of reach of children and animals. Sale only to adults.

If you are taking medications or are pregnant, discuss any botanical materials with your doctor first.

The product is not food or a dietary supplement and does not replace a varied diet or a healthy lifestyle. Keep it out of reach of children and animals.
