I have recently been sent a sample of pine pollen tincture from a company in France and can say it is of the highest quality. www.chateaudegrenier.com/ferme-de-plantes-aromatiques/

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!

Those pine needles make a tea that is very high in Vit C and other nutrients that protect against "viral" infections 🙂

Ive bought a bag of pinepollen powder. I Can feel the different after only 3 weeks. I feel it in my energy. My muscles. And my performance in everyday and in my workout. I am 46 years Old and was beginning to feel lover endurance and general power in my everyday. But now i know this. It works and it is fantastic. Thank you for the information.

Synchronicity hath found this video for me right on time to go outside and find pine pollen in my own backyard 🤩💕😋. Also, I was able to recognize other pines that will be ready in a few weeks time 😁. This video was super informative without being overly wordy. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.❤

Hi Mark, thanks for the video. Im a doctor from Patagonia, Argentina and in my farm we are collecting lavender for natural oil making, but im trying to add a few practices like this one to add some superfoods to our daily basis (and also because its so fun and interesting) so i really aprecciatte your dedication for the explanation!

Great Informative video. I have a a pretty good botany background but limited knowledge of medicinal/nutritional values of native plants. You definitely rekindled my interest. Your harvest stick is quite clever. This is KZfaq at its best. Thank you Mark

The first time I tried pine pollen, I was about 45 years old. I noticed I increased my reps in the gym by 150% which was very impressive. I also noticed stronger erections 💪. I’m currently on vacation in the Outer Banks of NC in April and the pine pods are ripe so I am harvesting as much pine pollen this week as I can get my hands on. Great video, Mark!

Thank you so much, I didn’t know pine was so versatile. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Thank you for such a great and informative video! No crappy music, clear and educational! BTW you are extremely handsome 😊

The bag method you mentioned is how we used to harvest fennel pollen. I'd never considered pine before! Thanks for this great video Mark

A paint brush or a few of various sizes helps sweep the pollen about. Blessings from IDAHO ❤

Wow thank you so much! Great bit of knowledge here. I'm surrounded by pines!

Great information! An allergy technician at a hospital said exactly what you did about most allergies are due to other pollens. I never knew about the benefits of pine pollen until this video.

I hear that in Texas most of our pine trees are loblolly pines. I looked up what pollen from loblolly looks like & recognize it, for a few weeks a year we have to clean those pods out of our pool but theyre usually an orange color.

In korea they make traditional tea biscuits with the pine pollen and honey.

Great info as always, Mark. Really appreciate it. Now do the dishes and wipe the counter tops clean. Otherwise Gina might not love you anymore.

You can also use a clean paint brush to collect more pollen! Thanks for your videos! I enjoy them!

Always Enjoy Learning From You, Thanks Mark, You & Yours Have A Blessed Easter ATB T God Bless

You continue to amaze me with the information you share. My yard is filled with pinon pines (southwest US).

You covered everything! Thank you so much. Started collecting the pollen this morning 🤗 Looking forward to making my tincture.

Very detailed and informative. Thank you

Thank you for making this step by step video , Well appreciated , God Bless.

Got my hands all full of pine pollen on my walk yesterday, has no remarkable taste. So I came to see how to collect a nice amount today 😊 thanks!

Great vid Mark! Your attention to detail is always the best.

Great video! I travel up to Yellowstone Park every Spring. The majority of the pine trees there are Lodgepole Pines. On the occasions that I am there when the pollen is high, I have witnessed thick, green clouds of pollen fill the air. It is a magnificent sight! My tent and camp table have been covered with pollen. Now, I know what to do with it! By the way, I suffer from some allergies, but I have been in the thick of pine pollen, and it does not bother me in the least. Thanks again for another very interesting video, Mark! Happy Trails!

I can’t wait for spring !!! It’s April 5 and we still have 2 1/2 feet snow packed and it snowed yesterday and again today 😏(northern Minnesota)

Mark your work speaks for itself ✅ Awesome video 🐛🦋 Pine= pi Ingredients of the tree of life! Not by mistake Quantum level stuff🔑

Thank you Mark, great video. I harvested a small amount of White Pine pollen last June here in Maine and made about one ounce of tincture. Looking forward to a larger harvest this year

Good info...blessings and health to you and yours. I put a coffee filter with a band around mine now. I once had mine mold because all the moisture wasn't out like I thought.

Thank you, for making this video! I have learned so much from your video. May God bless you.🙏🏻

Amazing video! Thanks from the Netherlands❤️

Surprised spring is so far ahead in Halifax! LOL We're still having freezing weather and snow in the Finger Lakes of New York. LOL Great video

Thanks Mark, very comprehensive!

EXCELLENT WORK! Thanks Mark you are awesome.

Thanks Mark! We'll be keeping an eye out for them. Appreciate the tutorial!

I think I'll just try drying and salting the buds, then eat them with a glass of whiskey. 😃. I don't have access to many trees to harvest, but thanks for the reminder. We aren't there yet, but will be soon. I'll keep my eyes peeled

I think I would bake the whole pine kernal into my bread. It would give it a bit of crunch if any! Save a lot of labour! Great video!! Thanks!

Thank you for all the infos of whole process. I will start to try, and i will share the experiance if anyone interested.

Wow! Super informative video. I had no idea one could use this for anything. I also appreciate the info about it not being an allergen. Please do more videos about plants like this one.

Great video Mark. Thanks for sharing. I'll be going out this long weekend for my haul.

I have updated the video description to include this link canadianpinepollen.com/

Thanks so much for this video!! Very helpful 😊

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!

Thanks i will try to find

Thank you! Good video and non-wasteful.

Thanks so much for this video! Very informative! I'm proved more and more everyday that mother nature will take care of you! It's a pity and excuse me but, pathetic that these nature cures and cares are not a part of everyday life. It's the best way to learn and remember as to pass the habit to the next generation. I've been ill most of my life it's things like this I would have benefited growing up on. Now I'd have to have string tied to every finger, notes on both arms or something like a Nature Bible as a reminder and reference of what my body needs! Anyhow thanks again. Much love

I was walking through a local park and the ones that were lower appear to not be producing anything yet. But there was a lot of them on the ground that definitely appear to be releasing pollen. I collected a lot of them from off the ground in a plastic bag and now I'm watching this video to see what to do.

Fantastic video! Looks like I was just a few weeks late to being able to get my own harvest. Maybe next year, thanks for the video!

I heard you can pour hot water over pine needles and it makes a tea high in vitamin c. You could then compost after that. Liket good information

Great information. Nice presentation. 😎

Pine pollen is very beneficial to opening up your pineal gland ❤️❤️

Excellent information, thank you

Very good and interesting video ! i used some pine pollen into pancakes and they were delicious

Thank you for this info, it's just what I'm looking for now. I just subscribed!

Thanks, you sure helped me out a lot , I know what I will be doing this spring

Thank you for your very informative work❤

As a forestry major, I’m so excited about foraging this coming spring. I really want to make my own tincture to see if it will help me with balancing hormones. 😊

Great info Mark. 👍👍👍

very educational, definitely adding this one to my likes :)

Thanks for informational video! Don't have a chance in my area here in Ohio to use, but still I learned something. Thanks again for your demo.

Mike Adams recommends using ultrasonic cleaner for extracting anything from anything in minutes - no need to wait for months. Just ordered mine. You can also use espresso machine.

My oldest grandson would freak out, he thinks he is allergic to pine tree pollen!😄😄😄

Thank you so much!

Excellent detailed video !! 🥰 Any idea how many years an alcohol tincture would stay effective for ?

Excellent

thank you for sharing brother

Thank you very much for this very informative video,😊 you know, withought wanting to sound flippant or anything, I think if people were a little more inclined to get off the couch turn off the TV and actually tune in to some very good online information like this, and maby taking an interest and trying it for themselves would bring about a very positive change in people's lives all on its own, before any of the positive benefits of natural food and medicine were felt. 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.

Thanks for sharing

The elixir of life

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.

Go for it brother. ❤

I watched a video that says you have to frack the pine pollen, so you'll absorb a larger % of it or you'll only absorb a small % of the pine pollen and that can be done by freezing it.

Subbed, very good video

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!

Awesome video! And I like your energy and style of presentation. Stumbled upon this after going out for my first time harvesting these here in Holland. What have been the benefits you’ve noticed personally since you began using pine pollen?

My stomach felt "hot" not uncomfortably hot just strangely hot. I also felt full. I ate about a full handfull dry.

Well done

Very informative video, thank you. I have a question, when you make a tincture and it's ready to decant, is it normal for the pollen to settle at the bottom? Then do you give it a good shake before decanting?

Thank you, Mark. Very informative. I would love to explore with someone with expertise here in Long Island, NY. Question: you said for the Pune pollen tincture you mention using a 1:5 ratio. Then you state 100 grams pine pollen and 100 grams of 72 percent liquor. Is that a 1:5 ratio or 1:1 ratio. Just want clarification. I am wonder when in the spring I could go wildcrafting for pine pollen. Have a great day.

Very good advice & Video....🌾🌲💯🤟

Great video. This was the first time I'm harvesting & have watched several times for guidance. Has anyone ever had bugs in the pollen you collected? I didn't see any in the first round I harvested. My second round is FULL of tiny little bugs. Was I just unlucky enough to hit an infested area?

Thanks for the video and reminder to keep an eye on the local pines! You're in Nova Scotia? The male cones have barely formed here in Western Newfoundland. What rum sold in Nova Scotia is that high of alcohol content?

Thanks

Great informative video!! Than you :-)

Great video Mark. Got to better than that "Apple Cider Vinegar" I've tried to drink for years. Lol Could you blend it into honey and use it on toast or in tea?

great video. thank you.

Where did you get the jars?? Great video will check for pine tree in my yard

Melbrosia an Austrian pine pollen i used it in the 80's

Remember type of pine red 3letters white 5letters some pines are toxic to make tea our consumption

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!

Thanks for this information! Do you have a recipe for pine pollen cream?

Hello, Thanks for the information in the video, I have a question I still have some tinture from 2014, do you think I can still use it?

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?

Thanks for the video. Found a good brand in Germany. Did you have tried various tincture-versions with different alcohol percentages/contents and which is the more potent ?!

You can get even more of the pollen if you wash things down with a little vodka. Dry it in a sheet pan.

I live in Denmark but i Will go out to harvest in the NEXt spring.

Hiya mate good vid as always 👋🏼

Thank you I have the same problem in Canada with purchasing high proof alcohol, can you please share the brand of liquor used
