Ever thought about eating a Christmas tree?  Well, don’t.  The needles from certain types of pine trees are actually poisonous although I don’t know why someone would want to try eating one anyway.  But you can make a pine needle tea from the Eastern White Pine tree and it’s actually healthy for you because it’s high in vitamin C but I bet it tastes like eating grass.
