Brand new, purchased on November 19th. I'm selling it because I no longer need it. Essential for character bento boxes and Halloween coloring, this edible charcoal has even caught the attention of Hollywood stars and is sold in organic and health food stores overseas. Sumiten's bamboo charcoal powder is a refined bamboo charcoal fine powder, carefully made by washing, then coarsely crushing and pulverizing 100% Moso bamboo (Wakayama Prefecture/Kagoshima Prefecture) that has been carbonized by firing at a high temperature of nearly 1000°C. It can be used as a tasteless, odorless black pigment. Because it is an ultra-fine powder, it mixes easily, and you can enjoy it by mixing it with coffee or water. Also, for cooking and sweets. Expiration date, best before date: None Raw material origin: Kagoshima / Wakayama
