What Is Sassafras and Is it Safe?

If a tree could smell like a breakfast cereal, this would be it. 🍊 The sassafras tree has one of the most recognizable scents in the forest — crush a leaf or twig, and you’ll get that Fruit Loops aroma instantly. 🌿 You can spot it by its three different leaf shapes on the same branch (mitten, glove, and oval), and its roots once flavored old-fashioned root beer! 🍺 It’s a classic of the eastern forests — a tree that smells like childhood, exploration, and nostalgia. #Sassafras #EverydayNatural
