A Natural Source of Vibrant Red Color

Alkanet root bark contains a potent natural red dye derived from the root of the Alkanna tinctoria plant, native to the Mediterranean region. When infused in oil, alcohol, or ether, it releases its characteristic deep burgundy-red color, traditionally used in:

• Authentic Indian recipes like Rogan Josh, Tandoori Chicken, and Kashmiri dishes

• Ayurvedic beauty treatments for lip balms, hair oils, and DIY cosmetics

• Natural soaps and skincare as a safe, chemical-free coloring agent

• Artisanal wines, tinctures, and herbal oils

Culinary Use in Traditional Indian Cooking

For generations, Ratanjot has been used in North Indian kitchens to enhance the visual appeal of rich gravies without the need for artificial coloring. When heated in oil, the bark releases a deep red hue that is both appetizing and natural.

Note: The color is oil-soluble, not water-soluble, making it ideal for ghee- and oil-based recipes.

Ayurvedic & Cosmetic Benefits

• Hair Care: Used in herbal oils for promoting hair strength and natural burgundy tint

• Skin Care: Natural addition to lip balms, lipsticks, and soaps for a chemical-free red hue
