Mugwort Powder is a dark green powder with a grassy, green-tea like flavour.
It is made from the leaves of yomogi — aka Japanese Mugwort.
Uses including mixing it into dough for mochi, noodles, steamed dumplings, etc.
Finished mochi are also sometimes rolled in the powder for a decorative, flavourful coating.
The powder is not the same as the dried leaves; they are quite fibrous.
Cooking Tips
You may need to soak the powder in water before using, depending on how it will be used in a recipe.
