Dried San Pedro cactus skin: Andean heritage in its traditional form
We offer dried San Pedro cactus skin (Echinopsis pachanoi) in natural pieces, processed using ancestral techniques that respect the botanical integrity of this emblematic species of the Andes. Our dried San Pedro cactus skin is obtained from selected mature specimens, following traditional methods of preparation and natural drying.
This dried skin presentation represents the most traditional form of preservation, ideal for researchers who require the material in its most authentic state. For applications that require greater practicality, we also offer finely processed San Pedro powder.
Traditional drying process:
- Careful selection of mature specimens of verified Andean origin.
- Traditional preparation of the outer skin that preserves its natural structure.
- Natural air drying following ancestral methods.
- Controlled storage that maintains the original botanical properties.
Applications in specialized research: The dried skin allows for detailed studies of the morphology, cellular structure, and natural botanical composition of the cactus surface. This presentation is especially valued by ethnobotanists, cultural anthropologists, and academic researchers who study the rich Andean plant heritage and its traditional uses in pre-Columbian cultures.
Cultural legacy of the Andes: The San Pedro cactus is a fundamental part of Andean ethnobotanical heritage, traditionally valued by indigenous communities in Peru and Bolivia as a central element of their ancestral cultural heritage. We work with local harvesters who honor this traditional knowledge by applying sustainable harvesting methods.
