Juniperus virginiana, also known as eastern red cedar or just “juniper“ is an amazing food and medicine. We love to use the dark, blue cones (sometimes referred to as juniper berries) after they’ve become nice and sweet... Kind of like sugary Pine sap! We also make tea and cough syrup from the leaves and the berries. #Lakotas #BabyForager #LakotaForager#FoodSovereignty #IndigenousFoodSovereignty #MedicinalPlants #EdibleWildPlants #JuniperusVirginiana #Juniper #EasternRedCedar
