The source of life for the northern peoples
Pine has provided food especially to the peoples of the north, as information about the use of pine bark as food can be found, for example, in the history of the indigenous peoples of North America.
According to research, pettu made from the nila under the bark of a pine tree has also been a regular part of the Sámi's diet. It has been cooked into porridge and used as a seasoning for meat and fish dishes.
In Finland, pine sap has been used, especially in times of shortage, when pettus has been added to bread flour. Among folk healers, information about the use of pine bark and nila has been preserved throughout history.
The secret of Karin's Havupuu extract drink
The unique recipe of Karin Havupuu extract drink is based on the knowledge of Finnish folk healers, which have been passed down as oral heritage from generation to generation.
