NAWAB NEEM PATTI 100G
€1,98
A 100 gram pack of dried neem leaf, coarser than the ground powder on the same shelf. Patti means leaf. Steeped rather than stirred in, so it suits infusions and washes rather than dry mixes. Same-day delivery across the Utrecht region.
Description
Patti simply means leaf, and the distinction between patti and powder is one of processing rather than of plant. Dried whole or broken leaf keeps its aromatic compounds longer than a fine grind does, because there is far less cut surface exposed to air, which is the same reason whole spices outlast ground ones.
The practical consequence is that leaf wants steeping and powder wants stirring in. Cover the leaf with hot water and give it time, then strain. It is also the form used for washes and rinses. If you want something that will disappear into a paste or a dough, the ground powder is the pack to take instead.
Which should I buy, the leaf or the powder? Leaf if you are steeping and straining, powder if you need it to blend into something. They are the same plant handled two ways.
Does the leaf keep longer than the powder? Generally yes. There is less cut surface exposed to air, so the aroma holds better over several months.
The ground version is the finely ground neem powder, and the rest of the shelf holds the other single herbs. Vegetarian. Keep the pack sealed and always use a dry spoon, because the powder clumps the moment it meets damp.
