Premium Echinopsis Pachanoi Powder, Core and Spines Removed
Our premium Echinopsis pachanoi powder is the most refined San Pedro cactus we offer. First, we hand-select mature stems from cultivated plants in Peru. Then we remove the woody core and spines, dry the cactus at low temperature and mill it extra-fine in small batches. As a result, you get a clean, silky, olive-green powder for collectors and institutions who want the very best material.
Because we remove the core before milling, this powder has no woody fibers or spine fragments, so it is noticeably finer and more uniform than whole-stem powder. In addition, we seal every small batch for freshness and label it with the species, origin and lot number. You can choose 500 g, 1 kg or 2 kg, and orders over $300 also ship free with tracking.
What Is Echinopsis Pachanoi?
Echinopsis pachanoi is the botanical name of the San Pedro cactus, a fast-growing columnar cactus native to the Andes of Peru and Ecuador. It usually grows between 2,000 and 3,000 meters above sea level. You can easily recognize it by its tall green stems, rounded ribs and evenly spaced white areoles. It is also known as Trichocereus pachanoi and, traditionally, as Huachuma. For more background, see the species page on Wikipedia.
