Jamaican Sarsaparilla Root
$3.50 / oz (~$1.2/Tbsp)
The original root beer flavor! Traditionally valued for skin health and vitality
Wildharvested
A bold, traditional root from a climbing vine native to the Caribbean and Central and South America. Smilax regelii carries the deep, robust notes associated with early root beer formulas and old herbal tonics.
This species grows as a woody vine with sharp thorns and heart-shaped leaves. The roots are dense and earthy with a darker, more resinous character than the Indian variety. It has been infused, simmered into syrups, and used in regional beverages for generations.
Why choose this version: Pick the Jamaican type if you want the stronger, more classic root beer profile, or if you prefer working with traditional Smilax for historical recipes.
