Oregon grape root, Mahonia aquifolium, is derived from a shrub native to the Pacific Northwest of North America. It belongs to the Berberidaceae family and is recognized for its spiky, holly-like leaves and clusters of yellow flowers. Traditionally, Oregon grape root has been used in herbal remedies for its potential antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, often prepared as tinctures or extracts. The root has a bitter flavor, which can be somewhat strong, making it less common in culinary uses but suitable for herbal preparations. Historically, Oregon grape root has been valued in Native American medicine and other folk traditions for its role in digestive support and skin health.*
