Three common methods to recognize best Brahmi are
1. ‘Rub and Peel’ to realize bioactive agents content: Squeeze a little Brahmi in hand. It will let you know the oil content and the number of bioactive agents in the herb. When the best variety Brahmi is squeezed in the palm, it has a mild odor and may cause a burning effect on the eyes. Triglycerides in Brahmi are small in quantity but very powerful and pungent in nature. Essential oil Yield from dried Brahmi and fresh leaves is 0.5–3.0% and 0.3–1.25%, respectively. Our Brahmi holds this quantity and quality of preferred oil content.
2. Water Test for Flavanoids and Alkaloids: Boil a glass of water with Brahmi. If the water turned light green or pale yellow, it will be a great Brahmi. If the water is slightly dark, it is overdried. If the watercolor turned a light pinkish stain, It may be a poorly grown Brahmi. Flavonoids and tannins in Brahmi must be preserved in dried Brahmi for better results. Our Brahmi is flavor-locked and contains all the goodness of the herb.
3. Physical Dimensions of Best Brahmi: When cultivated, the Good Brahmi plant will have 20-30 cm height and 7-8 branches with roots. 1/4 of the total herb quantity must be a leaf.
