The rasas (tastes) of Shatavari in Ayurveda are madhura (sweet), and tikta (bitter), and consumption of the plant reflects this with a somewhat bittersweet taste and oiliness that have a natural cooling effect on those who consume it. Shatavari can also be used topically for its soothing and cooling properties. Shatavari powder comes from the roots of the Asparagus racemosus plant. This is related to the asparagus you see in your local grocery store, called Asparagus officinalis, but it's not the same plant. Asparagus racemosus is native to India. Shatavari is an adaptogenic herb.
