  • This follows a recommendation from the city of **Ghent** about creating "delicious spruce needle butter."
  • The city aimed to combat **holiday food waste** but acknowledged potential health risks.
  • Some trees may be treated with **pesticides and fire retardants**, making them unsafe for consumption.
  • Scandinavian traditions of using spruce needles for butter were **exaggerated** and not as common as suggested.
