The Benefits of Spruce, the Pillar of Our Boreal Forests
Abundant in Quebec's boreal forests, the spruce is known not only for its majestic presence in the landscape, but also for its exceptional properties. Read on to find out why we've chosen it as one of the four emblematic species for our range of botanical sparkling waters.
Fir or Spruce?
To tell the difference between a spruce and a fir, take a needle between your fingers and try to roll it. You'll know it's spruce if the needle turns easily. Spruce needles roll easily because they are square, unlike fir needles, which are flat.
The Health Benefits of Spruce
Used as a medicine for centuries by Indigenous peoples in Canada, spruce is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. It is known for its toning and cleansing properties, as well as its calming and stress-regulating properties. Spruce extracts are also used to soothe the respiratory tract and boost the immune system. Its essential oil is used in aromatherapy for its toning and balancing properties.
An Increasingly Popular Local Ingredient From Quebec
In addition to its many health benefits, spruce has a very pleasant taste, with woody and slightly lemony aromas. Often used in syrups and infusions, it's also found in a number of beverages.
More and more people are even using it as a base for their cocktails. If you like local flavors that capture the essence of our wild spaces, it's time to give it a try!
