Join Lindey and Poldi in an entertaining conversation about spruce tree foraging. Spruce trees are one of the few plants that provide harvestable parts in the winter.

Topics we discuss:

• Tree identification factors to help you ID spruce correctly.

• Comparing spruce to other conifers like pine, fir, yew, and larch.

• The poisonous yew tree and why you need to learn how to avoid it when foraging for spruce.

• A look at the nutritional profile of spruce tree needles, especially their high Vitamin C content.

• How we make spruce needle tea with needles from the forest.

• How to use spruce trees in the kitchen (spruce needle salt, ice cream, tea, extract, and more).
