Brown spice quality control and suggestions
Hey guys. I recently found a new plug for spice (something quite rare in the place I live) with more then reasonable prices. The thing is the spice it self is quite different looking from what I’m used to. Far from ‘fluffy white’. He did not disclose the tek he used for the extraction, but I was tould it was jungle spice. Also, it came out of this sort of brick. He told me it was produced on the other side of the planet so it was all pressed for transportation purposes (something I haven’t seen before). Given all of this, I’m wondering about the quality of the spice and what to do… is normal that it has this brownish color? Given its polymorphic properties, I suppose it could come out like this and I’ve read conflicting thoughts that jungle spice is less pure and/or is prone to having some contaminations. Any experience with jungle spice? Should I re-ex? Should I go through recristilization process (if so what should I do? And what lossight I expect)? What would you recommend in general if faced with the same situation?The guy seams super trust worthy and I’m thrilled to have a reliable plug but I’m the one making my own and would rather be safe then sorry tbh. Thanks!
