Spruce sprout

The trendy vitamin bomb for healthy and tasty cooking

Spruce sprouts are the light green buds that grow on spruce tips in the beginning of summer. Spruce sprouts have been used for thousands of years as medicinal herbs. Spruce is known to have anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects which is why the sprouts have been used to relieve sore throats and coughs. Today spruce sprouts have become a popular flavoring for foods, desserts and teas, to which they give a sophisticated, slightly lemony aroma. Spruce sprouts also contain plenty of vitamins and antioxidants, which is another great reason to put these little green treats to the test!
