Description
Slippery Elm is native to eastern North America - also called red elm due to its reddish-brown heartwood. The inner bark was food for the Indigenous North Americans, and an important part of their herbalish. The bark's unique mucilage property comes from the cells surrounding each fibre of the bark - when the cells meet water, they swell enormously, creating a thick liquid or paste that's desirable for some uses.
This herb has been used as a thickener, food, and in herbalism for many generations. Try adding a teaspoon of the powder to hot water for a different kind of tea that you're used to.
