Green Alder
UNIQUE. BOLD. NORDIC.
Description
Dune pepper, also known as alder, is a widely used forest ingredient in northern Quebec. This shrub, which can reach three meters in height, produces kittens (botanical term) as flowers, this is the part that is harvested for use in high gastronomy. It can be eaten freshly picked or dried, it is generally found dry and whole on the market.
How does it taste?
It is nicknamed pepper, but in reality it does not belong to their category. It is rather a substitute and a local option for sourcing local spices. Its taste is very different from pepper, it is surprisingly complex and difficult to describe. It can be described as fir and resinous, peppery, with a slight bitterness that contrasts with its floral side. It is also attributed with citrus, dill, lemony and sweet notes. Very gently, it very well represents the scents of the boreal forest.
Where to use dune pepper?
The answer is simple: everywhere, everywhere, everywhere!
- In recipes such as broths, sauces and marinades
- In all-purpose spice blend
- In drinks such as herbal tea, coffee, beer and gin
- In the desserts! Like a chocolate pie or a maple tart
- To flavor an oil (infused oil)

The virtues of green alder
It has been used to reduce fever, to stop bleeding and to decrease gas in the stomach. Like many resinous plants and trees, it has astringent and tonic properties, which promote a feeling of well-being and vigor. In addition, its essence has been extracted in a decoction to give to children with a weak appetite. On the other hand, it is considered abortifacient, so it must be avoided in the first months of pregnancy to avoid complications.
Its natural environment
Dune pepper is found throughout eastern North America, especially in Canada. It likes moist, nutrient-poor soils, such as rocky sites, sandy areas, level ground, and mountains. The shrub also grows well near marshes, streams, lakes and rivers. It is possible to harvest it during all the winter months, but it is recommended to pick it towards the end of the fall so that it is at the peak of its flavor.
Wild green alder
Not recommended for pregnant women and children under 5 years old.

Les thés sont délicieux ça me procure un bien-être incroyable à chaque gorgée en plus ça dégage une belle arôme surtout celle au sapin. Je me fais deux thé par jour depuis que j'ai découvert floem ! Merci à la merveilleuse entreprise Québécoise d'avoir créer ces produits.
Allo W.Gerv, merci énormément pour tes commentaires positifs! On est ravi que nos thés t'apportent autant de bien-être et que tu aimes autant la saveur de notre poivre des dunes.
En fait, on peut y détecter des notes légèrement épicés. Favorise un état de bien-être et de vigueur. Très doux comme goût. Moi je la mélange avec des feuilles d'autre plante et c'est très agréable.
Salut Isabelle, merci pour ton retour ! On est ravis que tu apprécies la douceur de notre Poivre des dunes et que tu aimes l'associer à d'autres plantes.
Faire attention, c'est bel et bien du poivre et non une tisane au poivre. Mais il est excellent
Salut Stéphanie, merci pour ton avis! On est d'accord, c'est du poivre et non un thé, mais on est contents que tu l'aimes!
Le poivre des dunes a une saveur complexe; c'est ce qui explique qu'elle soit difficile à décrire. C'est aussi un résultat très puissant en parfum. Je trouve que c'est une façon très agréable de remplacer un bouillon de légumes, ou de poulet, dans une soupe ou une sauce. En plus, je peux en infuser autant ou aussi peu que nécessaire. Avertissement, pas nécessaire d'en utiliser beaucoup à la fois.
Salut Sylvain, merci beaucoup pour ton avis ! On est super contents que tu aimes le poivre des dunes et que tu trouves qu'il donne un bon goût à tes plats.
