Dishes with birch buds

The symbolism of trees is explained not only by their beauty - the beneficial properties of the bark, leaves and buds, which are usually used for making drinks or as a seasoning, have been known since ancient times. By the way, in some regions of Russia, birch bark fibers were consumed as food instead of the main product for any meal - bread; an equally important role was given to decoctions of buds, thanks to which mighty heroes quickly regained strength after long campaigns or difficult battles.

Recipes for dishes with birch buds include decoctions, tinctures, meat and vegetable treats, and salads. The shoots were dried, crushed and used as a spice, which had a spring-like, refreshing, original balsamic aroma and viscous taste. By adding them to an appetizer, you can complement not only the taste of the dish - glossy, resinous, brown buds mixed with fresh vegetables and herbs will certainly look interesting. Thus, prepared shoots can become a secret that allows you to cook something tasty and unusual at any time, but most importantly - healthy.
