Spring and summer are busy foraging months that we look forward to it each year.
Here at Foraged Roots we are both foragers of nature as well as our Métis culture and roots.
What have you been foraging for this year?
Our foraging this spring started when the stinging nettles were popping up.
We picked nettles to eat and hang for tea.
Next up where the dandelions, a Foraged Roots favourite.
We picked and harvested dandelions to make into a tea which we then used to make syrup and jelly.
Dandelion jelly is a gorgeous yellow colour and it tastes just like honey.
We also harvested a few huge roots from our backyard.
Do you have a favourite berry or tree you are excited for each year?
Three of our favourites are:
Salmonberries, Thimbleberries and Norway Spruce tips. More on these three later.
