Spruce Pollen Tincture

SPRUCE POLLEN TINCTURE 

Made In- House |  100ml 

A Lesser-Known Forest Food

Each spring, spruce trees produce small male cones filled with pollen. The harvest window is brief: as the cones mature, their pollen is released to the wind and the opportunity quickly passes.

Our team hand-harvests this seasonal offering from spruce trees in Alberta and BC, then tinctures it in-house.

While pine pollen has become increasingly familiar in the herbal and superfood world, spruce pollen remains comparatively little known. Like pine, spruce produces pollen as part of its reproductive cycle, making it one of the most ephemeral foods we gather from the forest.

Traditionally appreciated as a nutritive plant food and seasonal tonic for the forest, spruce pollen offers another way to experience a tree that has provided food, medicine and materials to people living alongside northern forests for generations.

Our tincture preserves this brief spring harvest so it can be enjoyed throughout the year.

Use: Shake well before using—a natural sediment of pollen may settle in the bottle. Take directly or add to water, juice, tea or an elixir according to the suggested serving.

Ingredients: Spruce Pine Pollen, Organic Ethanol and Filtered Water.
