Powder of Janawi (Boswellia dalzielii) bark and resin from Burkina Faso

Descrizione

Scientific name: Boswellia dalzielii

Family: Burseraceae

Traditional name: Janawi, Cricognimu (Bwamu language)

Origin of harvest: West Burkina Faso

This product is a part of “waste” during the collection of the resin in Burkina Faso, while the families that help me select the pieces of resin cleaned from the wood, I decided not to throw anything away but to also import this product.
Of which the natural flakes I saw that can be used as tea, with the classic scent of Boswellia resins with a beautiful pink color and a slightly bitter taste, but you know how much boswellic acid is good for your health.
I also made the pulverization through ball mills, where the aromatic and organoleptic components are absolutely not altered.
Fantastic for the production of your incense sticks because this resin-rich powder does not need anything else, just a little Makko to thicken and you will have a stick with a strong aroma, spicy with oriental tones.

Attached is a link to a short documentary during the meeting with some representatives of a village in the territories of Boswellia who help me in the collection.
