Fresh Pine Needles Description: Item: fresh pine needles Plant: Spruce pine (Picea) Plant part: Pine needles 100% Natural Package: fresh pine needles (choose from the list) Pine needles also contain an incredible amount of vitamin C, as well as vitamin A, a slew of B vitamins, & several antioxidants. Per volume, pine needles have 5 times the vitamin C found in lemon juice, or 8 times as much as orange juice. If you’re aiming to fend off scurvy this winter, pine is probably your best friend. You can prepare the tea in the same way as you would any tea, & sweeten the tea if you find that it’s too intense to drink on its own. If you find the flavor too concentrated, feel free to dilute it until it tastes right to you. If you have any brewed tea left over, feel free to add it to a hot bath or even a steam inhale: if you have any chest congestion thanks to cold & flu season, it should loosen things up & let you breathe more easily. These pine needles are harvested in our forest. The pine needles we harvest are organic & never treated with herbicides, pesticides or any chemical fertilizers. Let nature do its thing. Thank you for your purchase! Fresh Pine Needles, Picea, Pure, Organic, Needle Tea, 100% Natural
