Psyllium Husk - Plantain (Plantago)

Pinon Pine Honey Syrup

I collected these 1 year old baby pine cones on one of my hikes. I've been wanting to make a pine cone jelly/jam/honey when I first learned how the entire pine tree is edible! Well, most pine trees. To be safe, it's best to stay away from Pines w/ three needles. Did you know pine cones are antioxidant, anti parasitic anti microbial, anti viral? They are a great immune booster. The antioxidants aids the liver in removing toxins and cleaning the blood. Good for stomach issues like gastritis & ulcers. Pine cones are food sources for squirrels, woodpeckers, even Dinosaurs 60 million years ago. Pine Cone Jam has been used as a folk remedy for arthritis, cancers, asthma, respiratory diseases, tuberculosis, coughs.
