Whole Akuamma Seed
Whole akuamma seed comes from the Picralima nitida tree native to West Africa and contains alkaloids such as akuammine and akuammidine. Akuamma has a long history of traditional use in West Africa. The seeds are whole and unground, ready for grinding or encapsulation. Sold in 5g, 10g and 15g packs.
Whole seed keeps better than powder, and you grind only what you need. Keep it sealed in a cool, dry spot away from light so it stays fresh.

FAQ
How do I grind whole akuamma seeds? A coffee grinder or spice mill works. The seeds are hard, so pulse in short bursts.
Why choose whole seed instead of powder? Whole seed holds up better in storage and lets you control the grind and the amount.
Do akuamma seeds taste bad? Yes. They are very bitter, which is why many people put the ground seed in capsules.
Is akuamma an opioid? It is a plant, not an opioid drug. Lab studies found some akuamma alkaloids bind weakly to opioid receptors, and human research is still limited. Do not combine it with alcohol, sedatives or opioid medications.
Can I pick this up at Roots Kava Bar? Yes. Order online and choose pickup, or ask at the counter during bar hours.
