Boldo Leaf Powder

Peumus boldus, the only species in the genus Peumus, is commonly known as boldo (from the Mapudungun name fo?o). This tree of the family Monimiaceae is natively endemic to the central region of Chile, occurring from 33° to 40° southern latitude. Boldo has also been introduced to Europe and North Africa, though it is not often seen outside botanical gardens.Its leaves, which have a strong, woody and slightly bitter flavor and camphor-like aroma, are used for culinary purposes, primarily in Latin America. The leaves are used in a similar manner to bay leaves and also used as a herbal tea, primarily in Chile and Argentina.
