Our Island-foraged pickled Sitka spruce tips are a unique and irresistibly zesty delicacy. Reminiscent of capers, our pickled tips add a tangy burst of fresh, woodsy flavour to any dish. The soft, electric-green buds on the tip of every spruce branch are taste bud-surprising treats rich in both nutrition and flavour.
Ingredients: Wild-harvested spruce tips (Picea sitchensis), Organic apple cider vinegar, Water, Salt
THE DIVINE TASTE AND NOURISHMENT OF SPRUCE TIPS
Exceptionally high in vitamin C, potassium, and magnesium, Sitka spruce tips have been used as medicine and sustenance for thousands of years. If you’ve never tried pickled spruce tips, you’re in for a unique treat — they’re almost like lemony capers and add a tangy burst of flavour to any dish.
We love their refreshing citrusy flavour that has just a touch of woodsiness. Whether dried, pickled, jellied, or frozen, spruce tips add exceptional flavour when you use them in savoury or sweet baking, salads, cocktails, and teas.
Cooking inspiration for Pickled Spruce tips
- Brighten a plate of antipasto or a bagel with smoked salmon and cream cheese
- Ideal for garnishing classic cocktails like a Bloody Mary or Caesar
- Chop them finely and sprinkle on scrambled eggs or a fresh summer salad
- We love them minced on top of grilled salmon or almost any other seafood
- Lastly, use the brine to make a piquant salad dressing and in mayonnaise

I just love the wild salal berry jelly you sent me. It’s absolutely delicious. I enjoy it with crackers and cheese and just on its own on toast. Can’t imagine how you manage to take something growing in the forest and make it taste so good. I’m really interested in native plants and have tried to grow a salal bush in my garden with no success. I think I will try again tho after tasting your product or perhaps I’ll get ambitious and forage some berries on my own.
Thanks very much and have a very Happy New Year !
Top notch! so smooth…
Very nice products,
Very nice products,
Found them at the Shipyards Christmas Market. Had a lovely conversation with vendor. Tried them and loved them. Found they go well with fatty meats like the pork hock we also purchased at the market.
