What is an Ingredient?
An ingredient is an item that is added to a custom formula or used in a custom product.
Two Types of Ingredients
There are 2 types of ingredients;
- Single Ingredients
- Premix Formula Ingredients
What is a Single Ingredient?
A single ingredient contains only one "single" item, typically used for its specific flavor, aroma, or medicinal properties. Single ingredient herbs can be used in cooking, herbal remedies, teas, or supplements, depending on their characteristics and intended use.
What is a Premixed Formula?
A premix formula is a pre-prepared blend of multiple single ingredients, typically herbs, spices, or other compounds, designed to serve a specific purpose, whether culinary, medicinal, or nutritional. The ingredients are mixed in precise proportions to achieve a balanced effect, making it convenient for users who want a ready-made solution rather than assembling individual components themselves.
Please note
When you build custom formulas, you can mix a single ingredient and a premix formula together!
