Pine pollens are everywhere where I live. It was a Christmas tree farm about 75 years ago, but the previous owners left rows of majestic pine trees in place. The pollens are everywhere. The cones are like bullets when the wind blows and are hard to clean up. You can collect a cup of pullen from cars parked uncovered and other surfaces outside overnight in Spring. The pollen is hard on car's paint job if not promptly washed off. The houses around here are covered with pollen . I had no idea that what we've considered to be such an annoyance is actually useful medicine 🤔. I won't look at pollen the same after watching this educational video. Thanks for sharing!

@@MarkYoungBushcraft Thanks for Ur fast reply. As a hobby nutrionist, there are some keys importat to find out. First: If the pine pollen is naturally harvested and not processed (cracked-cell-wall), then maybe there is the higher alcohol percent needed. When pollen was cracked, the nutriets are the more easily soluble. Second: If there s a fully loaded nutrient-rich solution made from the higher alcohol content, the effect could be a complex of the severals instead a special hormone effect, if these are the simplest, first soluble nutrients in pollen and therefore the low alc content would be sufficient. That's what my logical mind says. Greets

I come from a quite little village in Ireland and although I am 37 even I can remember the older generation that once graced this land with their presence. I'm talking about people who would have been in their 90s in the late 1990s, so grew up amongst people born in the nintenth century, unspoilt people who carried all the old medicinal knowledge and totally self sufficient ways of living and farming ect. It's a Frigging shame I didn't think to write anything down, in between helping with cattle ect over some tea and a sandwich we would all sit and just talk for however long and I would listen to these gentlemen casually talking about cures for this and that among many other stories and things. I should point out that even at their age they still lived a fully functional life and that includes digging their own garden each spring, they were just different people, very healthy mentally and physically for a start despite their advanced age, and it's only now Ive noticed that fact, back then they were just old men to me. that knowledge is hard to come by now.

Looking at the nutritional analysis, it looks very good for a plant based protein, vitamin and mineral source. It does seem to be nutrient dense, so is a "super food" in that sense. I do feel that the medicinal claims are lacking scientific studies that validate those claims. I am highly allergic to tree pollen's in general, but not sure if I react to pine pollen. I am sure about redwood pollen, I used to live near a redwood forest and it was really problematic. In any case, I found your video interesting, thanks!

From what I have read, pine should be low on the allergen list. May be worth to be tested for it. Thanks for commenting

Hi Mark. Great video! Thanks for taking the time to put this together. I have a question. Today I harvested some of my own pine pollen. I bought the cones home and shook them in a jar, then strained then. Did this 2 or 3 times with each batch. After I was done I used a very fine strainer to get all the other organic matter out. I harvested just over 100g. Pretty happy with that. I threw the pine cones away after though. My question is, is it necessary to dry out the male pine cones for a few days? It sounds like harvesting them straight away means the amount harvested is less than what it could be if I waited a few days. Thanks!

Hi Robbie. In my experience and what I have learned from others who harvest professionally, if you allow the pollen cones to dry for a few days you will increase the amount of pollen they release. One tip, if you decide to store the pollen ensure that it is very dry to avoid mold. Alternatively, you could freeze the pollen until you are ready to use it. Thanks for commenting

@@MarkYoungBushcraft awesome! Cheers Mark. Im heading out tomorrow to gather some more. This time I’ll let them dry out for a few days. I noticed little worms come out too so will have to manage that so they don’t go making them self at home at my place. Once again, thanks heaps!

Hey question, wouldn't one get more protein from consuming large quantities of the powder rather than small doses in the alcohol? And would it be more efficient to just stick the pods in a food processor and consume it all?
@MarkYoungBushcraft

Yes, you would gain more food nutrition from consuming the whole pollen powder but less medicinal value. The body is unable to extract everything an alcohol tincture can. Thanks for commenting

I live in AZ and in with the Ponderous Pine trees. In the spring my vehicles are covered in a yellow powder and was curious if this was at all easy to gather since these trees are tall and I am unable to collect them from the branch….unless I get a long ladder. P.S. is this pollen good?

Well Mark, I have really appreciated this video. Thank-you for the effort you put into giving a step by step procedure for procuring God's remedies for greater health. As you referred to, which I think is wise, was to habitually consume this to build up our systems. Some people I have seen refer to this pollen as truly an essential super food! Now, with the encouragement from you, this spring I will be certainly harvesting plenty. God bless you!

Can you also store pine needles for very long and if so, how do you do it?
@MarkYoungBushcraft
3 жыл бұрын
So pin needles are quite oily and will only stay fresh for so long. As they dry they loose their vitality. I would suggest either making then into something as soon as practical or freezing them for later use. I don't have enough experience freezing pine needles but I have frozen spruce tips of 6 months. Hope this helps

I picked some young pine cones a fiew weeks ago and i tell you that there was sooo much pollen. I know they pollinate alot but dang, just a tiny bump or wind, it was like snow 😂 Just heads up when doing this is to wear mask so you don't inhale too much of it. I'm a little pollen allergic and it gives a headache.

Fellow bluenoser here (north shore). I am wondering if there is a sign that pine pollen season is upon us - like, maybe, when dandelion starts flowering? Mid April now and mild, but no sign of plant development (except grass). Thanks so much for the video. I started collecting and dehydrating edible wild greens last year but had never heard of pine pollen.

Hello there neighbour. I expect it will vary around the province because of the Temperature differences but. I start noticing the pollen cones on the red pine becoming ripe any time now. The cones on the white pines are about three weeks later. I usually harvest the pollen from the red pines about mid-May and from the white pines in early June. I would recommend watching the pollen cones over the next few weeks to assess readiness. Thanks for commenting
