A: No. It infuses into the water but may leave fine sediment, so straining is recommended. Q: Why choose powder over cut shells? A: Powder is faster to measure and blends more easily into multi-herb mixes, but it needs finer straining.

Q: Can I use this in savoury recipes? A: Yes. Some people add small amounts to broths or soups, then strain well for a smoother finish.
