Prep notes

Amazon vine bark. Iron and a little vitamin C. A decoction. The claw-shaped thorns are the namesake, not the food. Brewed cup figures vary by leaf amount and steep time; this atlas row is the catalogue entry as sold.

Caution

Grocery / shop food data only. Not a wild forage guide. Thrive shows composition curiosity — not medical advice.
