Burlap & Barrel Damask Rose Petal Powder | 1:1 Rosewater Sub

Rose petal powder gives you the floral note of rosewater without adding liquid to a recipe. Damask roses are one of the most fragrant rose varieties grown, which is exactly why they're the ones traditionally distilled into rosewater and rose oil — that same intensity carries through here. It's rose petals dried slowly and ground fine, with a colour that turns things a soft dusty pink and a flavour that's floral and lightly sweet.

Stir it into syrups, whipped cream, and batters, or use it as a 1:1 swap anywhere a recipe calls for rosewater. It also works as a stand-in for vanilla powder in anything sweet, if you want florals instead of vanilla's usual warmth.

Burlap & Barrel sources this through Pavitramenthe, a company built around direct, long-term relationships with farmers in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, with a buy-back model that guarantees a market for what they grow. The petals are hand-picked at peak bloom and dried slowly, which is what keeps the colour and scent this intact.
