Glad the article calls out the toxic needles to avoid. If you aren’t reading the article, you should know some pine needles are toxic.
Some pine needles are edible. Some pine needles are toxic. Likely a good idea to avoid the pine needs that are not green.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
During the American colonial period it was apparently a thing to make beer from Spruce as well.

Good bot
Cool, I learned a few months ago that you can also make jam out of pine cones
Anybody tried this? How is it?
If it tastes anything like pine needles smell, I’ll probably enjoy it. I live in an area with plenty of conifers and already have plenty of those bottles. I’ll try it out next week and let you know.
Have you tried pinesol?
Yes, cleans my floor as well as my insides!
Love it. I’ll keep an eye out!
No luck, unfortunately. It appears that little to no fermentation took place; I still just have some water sweetened with honey. There has been a lot of heavy rain recently, so I suppose it’s quite possible that too much wild yeast had been washed off by that
That’s a shame. Thanks for giving it a try and reporting back!

Is this the same thing that they sell as “spruce beer”?
Maybe, maybe not. Spruce needles can do the same preservative job as hops do in beer while creating a different flavour, and some regional styles of beer (as in, an alcoholic drink made by fermenting barley or wheat) use spruce needles in this role. In other cases it is something more like this post though.
you can extract honey from sunflowers
They did it in Dr. Stone.
You can make soda from dogshit, doesn’t mean you should
