RE: Salal - Gaultheria shallon - Health and Healing
Fabulous - I've never heard of it, and interesting it was added to pemmican - I bet it has a high vit c content? You know, I never realised how biodiverse your country is - since Steem, I've learnt about so many different and interesting plants!
Thanks. I did finally find a reference to the Vitamin C, though no numbers. Salal also has antioxidants, flavenoids and a decent amount of fiber. Thanks for prompting me to find that last reference (now added to the article.)
One of the things I've learned is that every location has answers to every health need. Learning from the Natives is key on this continent.
It's key on every continent. Our bush foods (or bush tucker, as it is known here) are less diverse but still there are many edibles I wouldn't know about.
