Balsam Fir Shoots - Sizes: 15g / 225g
Is there anything more emblematic of our forests than the balsam fir? We don't think so. Its scent reminds us of cottage vacations, wildlife, the freedom of the great outdoors, and Christmas Eve gatherings with family (yes, it's the same tree you're decorating!). We're all intimately familiar with its aroma, but its taste remains to be discovered for many of us, and that's what these shoots harvested in spring allow us to do. Don't be afraid to prick yourself on the needles: picked young, they are very tender.

Boreal Roots, who are we?
Much of Quebec's terroir is unknown, and while we consume fruits, vegetables, and spices from all over the world in large grocery baskets, delicious foods grow all around us without us even realizing it. Boreal Roots was born from the observation that northern terroir products are often little known, even though they grow right under our noses.

Forest, minty and resinous
Balsam fir shoots can be used as a flavoring with lamb, in jelly, or as a marinade to accompany meats, especially game. They pair wonderfully with smoked salmon and cheeses and can be used to flavor butter. Bonus: they can also be enjoyed as an infusion with a little honey when you start to feel a sore throat coming on. Depending on how you use them, you can add them whole to a cooking (or infusion) liquid, slice them thinly, or grind them in a mortar (avoid a spice grinder, which the resin could damage).
