Our native Spicebush(Lindera benzoin) is one of those plants that is always surprising us with it's use as a food and spice.
Having your own Spicebush from our forest nursery delivered to you will provide you in the spring with young leaves that may be added directly into sautes and stir-fries. Spicebush also provides two different spices with completely different flavor profiles at different times of the year. The young green berries may be pickled as you would capers and make an excellent addition to a curry paste along with a few fresh leaves. Add a handful of fresh leaves to your vegetable stocks to bring your soups to flavortown. In the fall when the berries are mature they take on a flavor similar to that of allspice which pairs very well with apples and wild cherries.
