Sarsaparilla Root (Smilax ornata) holds a special place in Caribbean herbal tradition. This woody vine, native to Central and South America, has been used by Indigenous peoples and Caribbean herbalists for generations. The root has a distinctive warm, earthy flavor with a slight sweetness — it's actually the original flavoring behind old-fashioned root beer. At the yard, sarsaparilla is one of the most beloved roots in our collection.

Why the Yard loves it:

  • Smilax ornata — a cornerstone of Caribbean and Central American herbalism
  • Natural dried root form, ideal for teas, decoctions, and traditional tonics
  • Earthy, slightly sweet flavor with a warm, distinctive spiciness
  • The original root behind old-fashioned root beer — generations of traditional use

How to Use

Add 1-2 teaspoons of dried sarsaparilla root to a cup of water. Simmer for 15-20 minutes for a rich decoction. Strain and enjoy. Pairs beautifully with burdock root and dandelion root.

Ingredients

100% Dried Sarsaparilla Root (Smilax ornata).
