The birch bark can be harvested in the spring and autumn, when the sap runs. There are only a few days during these periods, when the bark peels off by itself. At this time, the bark is elastic and can be easily removed from the tree. If done mindfully, harvesting pieces of bark will not harm birch trees. The bark of the birch tree contains a number of medicinal properties, so just having it in your home will fill your kitchen with positive, healing energies. This wonderful little dish can be used as you see fit - the best part about it - it's versatile!
