ということで、白樺の樹液の採り方の紹介です。白樺以外にも、同じように利用できる樹液の出る木がいくつかあります。日本で代表的なのはイタヤカエデ、そのほではオニグルミやヤマブドウからも採れるようです。イタヤカエデやオニグルミは比較的身近にある木かと思いますので、採集の機会に恵まれる可能性があるかと思います。
"Birch sap" It is becoming annual spring bushcraft event to tap birch to get sap. The sap contains much minerals s and vitamins, which you will need to boost up your body in spring, recharge the energy to enjoy the coming summer.
春の恵み・・・と聞いたので勝手に山菜か！と思ってしまいました:D
ReplyDeleteカエデのメープルシロップが有名ですが白樺の樹液でもシロップが作れるんですね。
北欧では山菜は採取しないのかな？
山菜はあまり採らないようです。種類が多くないためかもしれません。裏山では時期がきたら取り上げる予定なのですが、今年は春が遅く、未だにツクシすら頭が見えません。
DeleteI also starte to collect it yesterday and got few liters alreay and mostly consumed. Birch sap (mahla in finnish) really is a great drink! I have never tried to make syrup though, maybe will try that sometime.

Oh, is it still. Comming! I think it stopped at my place . But I harvested about 10l from one hole in 3weeks. 5l in freezer for summer time drinking.
ReplyDeleteGreat instructional video! I'm enjoying birch sap this spring as well.

I saw on your blog that you have enjoyed the sap. It really is amazing drink.
DeleteI saw a post about making squash from birch leaves on Laplander's Natural Lore Blog. Since the sap from the tree on my yard has stopped, I am looking forward to get new leaves to come out, so I can try that.
