Powdered mimosa hostilis root bark

$40.00$325.00

MHRB is a substance having a very high tannin content. That is why we take the effort to ground the root bark so finely. Tanners will like the texture, which will give not just tannin but also friction throughout the tanning process. Tanners use oblique blades to remove fatty tissue and meat from hides. After that, mimosa takes over, “sanding” the skin and tanning it as it goes. Try our finely shredded mimosa if you want a rougher texture.

Similarly, anybody looking for the most pigment per pound (this is one of our more costly dyes) would welcome the rigorous grind. Smaller test samples of both our shredded and ground mimosa hostilis are available here.
