Foraging Wild Spruce Tips

Spruce tips are one of my favorite easy spring plants to forage. I especially love to munch the raw, tender, zingy shoots with trail mix on a hike. While other wild plants might be elusive to locate, spruce tips are usually quite abundant and safe to forage. Because this plant is a great introductory plant into the world of foraging I thought I would share tips for foraging wild spruce tips plus my recipe for quick-pickled spruce tips, so you can also enjoy the wild flavors of the forest this spring.
