[Sca-cooks] OOP Question -Sassafras

[Nancy Kiel]

Sassafras might not be OOP---when they settled Jamestown in 1607, sassafras was one of the things they were looking for, which implies there was already a market for it.  I believe it was used medicinally.

  Does anyone have a local source for sassafras root and bark?  I have a
  friend who would like to experiment with the real thing (not the extract)
  to make root beer.

  It is not something we have out here on the west coast (if I were in the
  town I grew up in I could go out and dig some up!)
