Buy Kava kava in USA and Canada. Kava root is made up of both a basal root and lateral roots. The basal root is the larger stump-like part of the root, which contains more starches and kavain. The lateral roots are said to contain more kavalactones. Both are very high-quality products but have different aromas. The traditional ceremonial product is the most popular choice in Vanuatu and the USA. The ceremonial kava is a kava root that has been sundried and is a mix of 35 percent lateral and 65 percent basal root. The gold label kava is 50 percent lateral and 50 percent basal root and has been kiln-dried. All kava root products are in powder form except the premium chipped Vanuatu.
