What Is Cassia Tora Seeds?
Cassia Tora Seeds are the dried, ripe seeds of Senna tora (syn. Cassia tora), a fast-growing annual legume in the senna family. The plant thrives on poor soils after the rains, producing small, angular green-brown seeds that are hand-collected, cleaned and sun-dried. The seed is a staple of Chinese medicine (Jue Ming Zi, "bright-eye seed") and Ayurveda (Chakramarda), while the seed splits are also processed into cassia gum, a gelling agent with industrial demand. Nigeria is one of West Africa's largest sources, and Crezantium sources directly from Nigerian growing regions.
