Essen von Bäumen – die Kraft der Nährstoffpumpen

The spring sunshine not only makes you want to go for a walk in the park, but also the first fresh flowers and shoots of deciduous and coniferous trees. Edible wild plants and especially their tender spring shoots are a true treasure of nature! The lush green, young leaves can be used to make leaf meals full of valuable ingredients that provide us with vitamins and minerals all year round.
