Rowan

In Irish mythology the first human woman was created from the rowan tree. It is a tree said to belong to the fairy folk who can be seen dancing in circles surrounded by rowan trees when the moon is full.
Rowan berries are quite bitter but not poisonous. When mixed with sugar they make nice jellies, jams juices and wines.
Eaten raw the seeds of the rowan berry can cause stomach upsets but they can be turned into remedies for cleansing the kidneys and the blood, balancing the digestive system, strengthening the immune system and helping with a sore throat or bronchitis.
They contain a good deal of vitamins and minerals and more vitamin c than citrus fruits.
