Re: Can anyone tell me about pine needle juice?

Yes i also live around lots of pine needle tree, they are meant to be very good for you especially high in vitamin c. You can boil the needles for around 20 minutes and make pine needle tea, if you type pine needle tea into a search engine you will find more info.

In terms of juicing they are very difficult to juice. I tried juicing alot of needles and got virtually no juice. I ended up using the pulp in empty gelatin capsules. The tea may be good for you but takes too long to prepare, more of a survival skill incase you get lost in a forest. My conclusion was that there are easier ways to get good nutrition, but if your juicer can handle it give it a go, just be careful not to burn your motor out.

Also it can be a bit messy so put some paper down first for the needles as there is a sticky sap on the branches. Tweet
