Myrrh (Commiphora molmol, Commiphora myrrha) resin powder/granules - Bulk.

The genus name Commiphora derives from the Greek kommi, "gum," and phoros, "carrier." The species name and common name derive from the Arabic mur, "bitter."       

Myrrh is native to northeastern Africa, where it grows as a large shrub or small tree in harsh desert conditions, with hot sun and little water. The plant's leaves are obovate. The branches are spiny, and a pale yellow oil exudes from the tree when its dull gray bark is cut.

Myrrh is not generally considered edible. It was used as a wine preservative in ancient times and is still used today to make the Italian alcoholic beverage Fernet Branca.
