Yopo & Cebil — Anadenanthera Seeds Wholesale

Anadenanthera peregrina (Yopo) and Anadenanthera colubrina (Cebil, also known as Vilca) are closely related trees whose seeds have played a central role in the shamanic traditions of South America for generations. Yopo is associated with the Orinoco basin peoples of Venezuela and Colombia; Cebil with Andean cultures stretching from Argentina through Bolivia and Peru.

Botanical Overview

Both species are medium to large trees in the legume family (Fabaceae). The seeds — flat, dark brown, contained within curved seed pods, are the part of the plant used in traditional ceremonial contexts. Seeds contain bufotenine (5-HO-DMT) as the primary active compound, along with DMT and 5-MeO-DMT in smaller amounts. Yopo and Cebil are snuffing plants in the traditions that use them: an important distinction from Rapé, which is a completely separate product category with different plants, traditions, and preparation methods.

Traditional and Research Context

Archaeological evidence places Anadenanthera seed use in South American shamanic contexts going back several thousand years, making them among the best-documented psychoactive plants in the archaeological record. For researchers and ethnobotanical retailers, this well-documented history makes Yopo and Cebil seeds relevant materials with a clear cultural and scientific context.
