Description: The inner bark of the slippery elm is rich in mucilage, plant compounds that form a gelatinous texture when mixed with water. These mucilages help soothe irritated mucous membranes, particularly in the throat and digestive system, by creating a protective layer. This property makes it a plant traditionally used to relieve internal irritations and discomforts.

Taste: Mild, slightly floury with a vegetal note.

History: Native North American peoples have used slippery elm for centuries, both as a soothing remedy and as a supplementary food during times of famine due to its nutritious texture.

Instructions: Mix 1 teaspoon of powdered bark in 250 ml of water.
