Lateral roots to chew.

[kl.Jerome]

Does anyone on here know of or offer whole latteral roots to chew on?  I used to chew the roots but can't find a reputable online source.  Thanks much!

First and only one I've seen.

Thanks!  Anyone try these out?  The roots pictured look much thicker than the roots I chewed on.

There was a thread about them a short while back. Here it is.

Thanks.  I'm buying a half a pound to give it a try.  I've never used this company before,  Kava Kauai, but I love chewing the roots so I'll update this page once it arrives.

How would you describe chewing the roots. Taste? Effects?

Buddhacide, I shipped you what I had left on Friday so I'd think if you have not gotten them today you should get them tomorrow.  I buy about 75% of my kava from Kava Kauai and Gary is a straight shooter.

You are the man. Thanks again for the gesture and all the headaches.

Chewing the root produces a quicker, more pronounced effect without the accompanying nausea that can often plague heavy kava use.  More head feeling quicker basically.  Particularly when chewing the whole lateral roots as they pack the best punch.  I’ve always liked the taste of kava but root chewing actually has a milder flavor than a good strong batch of traditionally kneaded kava.  It is also easier to carry, use and store than kava juice.  Great for travel when you’re not staying put for very long like backpacking.

Curious enough to make a small purchase myself. Always looking for a way to bring kava's relaxing effects to work.

Got the roots out of the mail box when I got home.  They are delicious, not too hard, and have a quite pleasant effect.  Highly recomended.  Like I used to years ago, I just chew the heck out of the roots untill all the soft tissue has been swallowed and what is left is the harder, more fiberous stuff, spit that out and keep chewing.  Great way to enjoy kava!

Purchased some myself. Shipped today. I'm curious.

I also got a batch today, popped one in my mouth and it's good stuff. The kava taste is delicious, and the instant effect is pretty nice. I might bring some of these nubs to work.

 

[kl.Jerome]

Yeah, you can't beat the convenience.

 

[kl.midas]

Are these more cost effective than buying the root powder?

still waiting for mine to be shipped, let alone to arrive ... *sniff*

Got mine from carolinabc today (thanks again). These are great to have around. I just tried a small piece and chewed it for about 15 minutes. Very nice, mild effect. Taste was not terrible. Aftertaste is great - like I just brushed my teeth. My mouth is refreshed. I dig it.

Second that. We drank some kava at our Hilo Farmer's booth a while back when he was vacationing on the Big Island of Hawaii. I like Gary. - Adil Ghiasi

Ok, this may sound gross, but I was chewing roots last night and wound up with way too much in my mouth.  So I spat it into warm water and used my strainer bag to make a brew and it was some of the best I've drank!  I doubt I would have many people sharing the brew,,, but I enjoyed it thoroughly!

Now that's traditional! I may have to so the same.



I really like these little root nubs by the way. On days that I don't have the energy to brew anything up I really like sitting on the porch with my pocket knife and a little nub, slice off a bit, chew on it until it's gone, slice off another strip, chew again. Pretty easy and satisfying routine.
