Authentic Peruvian tradition: Trichocereus peruvianus harvested using ancestral methods
We present our premium Peruvian torch dried skin, collected from Trichocereus Peruvianus using traditional methods that honor the cultural legacy of the Peruvian Andean communities. Each batch is processed using ancestral separation and sun-drying techniques that guarantee the preservation of natural botanical properties.
This dried skin presentation represents the most traditional form of preservation used by generations of Peruvian collectors. For researchers who require different formats, our collection also includes other presentations of specialized Andean cacti.
Traditional processing methodology:
- Exclusive selection of mature specimens of certified Peruvian origin.
- Ancestral technique of separating the outer skin without including the core.
- Natural solar drying following traditional Andean methods.
- Manual sorting to ensure uniform quality in each batch.
Applications in cultural research: The dried skin allows for detailed analysis of the epidermal structure, natural chemical composition, and specific morphological characteristics of Trichocereus peruvianus. This presentation is especially valued by researchers in Andean ethnobotany, cultural anthropologists, and academics specializing in the study of the plant heritage of pre-Inca cultures.
Cultural heritage of the central Andes: Trichocereus peruvianus is a fundamental part of Peru’s ethnobotanical heritage, traditionally valued by indigenous communities as a symbol of their ancestral connection with nature. We also work directly with local harvesters who keep these ancient traditions alive through sustainable harvesting practices.Product specifications:
