Native to central and eastern North America, Solomon’s seal is an herbaceous perennial in the Asparagaceae family and close relative of Lily-of-the-Valley. Our Solomon’s seal root powder is milled from wildcrafted Polygonatum biflorum rhizomes. Typical preparations include liquid extract and encapsulation.
Historically, indigenous cultures of North America consumed the starchy rhizomes of Solomon's seal as a potato-like food to make breads and soups. The young shoots are also edible, raw or boiled for an asparagus-like food. The plant gets its name from a scar that develops on the rhizome in the fall that resembles the ancient seal of King Solomon. It is also called small Solomon’s seal.
