Make a note when Green Dean carefully explains the difference between various pinecones, what to look for and what to avoid. If you have a pine tree nearby your home, you can use it as a point of reference.
We like that Green Dean advises us to use an infuser to make Pine Needle Tea and to make certain the water is hot but not boiling. I would want it boiling and – yes – I’d end up zapping all of the nutritional value out of my tea!
While we may not want to make a steady diet out of a pine tree it’s nice to know it’s there if ever we need glue, a cough drop, a cleaner — and a snack between meals!

The thin inner bark layer on most trees is edible. Pine nuts are nutritious and the fresh pine needles can be used for tea and has high vitamin C.
pine is great
