RE: FORAGING IN THE WINTER ........THERE ARE LOTS OUT THERE
I have heard people using pine needles to make teas, etc.
Aside from the woodsy taste, I'm curious about the nutritional value and the possible medicinal properties.
Watercress IS SO good!
The local natives use it daily to this day. It used to be used to treat scurvy. It has antioxidants, very high in vitamin C. It rejuvenates the skin and hair, and when you gotta cold, it is good for mucus build up. The elders of the local First Nations Reserve have all been willing to share these medicinal properties with many of the local folks. Thanks @goldendawne
WOW! I never would have thought so many nutrients were in what I have hundreds of behind my house!
