Akarkara Spl., also known as Anacyclus pyrethrum or Pellitory Root, is made from the dried roots of a flowering herb in the daisy family. The plant grows in Mediterranean regions and has soft leaves with white-petaled flowers and yellow centers. Its roots are thick, brown, and known for their strong, sharp aroma. The powder is light brown and used for its bold flavor in select spice or herbal blends. It contains small amounts of natural minerals. Akarkara is mainly valued for its strong scent and earthy taste.
