Spruce tips are packed with Vitamin C and are incredibly tasty, they have a bold and beautiful citrus flavour – we refer to them as our local lemons! Spruce tips contain carotenoids and are rich in minerals, such as potassium and magnesium.
Like most of our vinegars, spruce tip vinegar is great for the base of a salad dressing – combine the vinegar with oil, a sweetener, like local honey or maple syrup, some tangy ginger and wait for the crowd to ask you ‘what made that salad so tasty!’
