Properties of Tara

What is Tara?
TARA IS A LEGUME NATIVE TO THE ANDES.
It has been used since the Incas ruled the territory now known as Peru as a medicine for irritated skin, natural black dye for their clothes, tannin for leather and even as a money saver due to its diverse uses and non-perishable characteristics.
Today the Andean communities still use it and collect as much as they can to sell it to large industrial companies, which means a very important economic income. We are very aware of this, so we help them with fair trade and some training to identify good quality tara pods and cultivate them correctly so that they can offer us the best raw material.
