Drying method shows up in how sellers describe leaf powder. “Shade-dried” and “sun-dried” are process words, use them as questions for any brand, including us, then confirm pack facts and lab paperwork before you buy.

Quick answer

• Shade-dried usually means leaf dried out of direct harsh sun; ask the seller how they dry and mill.
• Sun-dried leaf can still be food-grade, read the label and paperwork either way.
• NutriThrive shade-dries leaf powder and packs in Truganina. Shop powder.

What shade-dried means here

On our farm we dry leaf under shade conditions before milling into powder. The goal is a bright, food-use leaf powder without claiming medical outcomes. Colour and aroma still vary by harvest, open the pouch and use your senses plus the lab summary.

What to ask any seller

• Is the product leaf only?
• How was it dried (shade, sun, mechanical)?
• Where was it packed, and can you see a batch or lab summary?
• What is the dated price per 100g?
