Sassafras doesn't grow around here or I'd have a good supply. It's the root bark. The traditional flavor of "root beer" was sassafras, but that was replaced by wintergreen. Next time someone opens up a can of wintergreen dip next to you, sniff it. You should recognize it.Sassafras trees grow invasively here. I have to keep string trimming the sprouts down to ground level. They still spread by roots and seeds.
Is it the bark or the root you harvest?
