Pinion Pine Sap
So my Dad wants to sell sap online and i am researching for him to see if there is a market for such a thing. I did not think ther would be but, it turns out there is. As a kid i loved to chew it cause the Ute Indians did, and it tastes good if you can get past the first inital overpowering pine taste, and the fact that it breaks into powder when you first bite it. Then with a little chewing it sort of congels till it is the same consistancy as chewing gum. Turns out that all the Ute skulls they found had all their theeth reguardless of age. The gum is from the Pinion Pine and has antiseptic and antibacterial propertys, as well as the fact that it sticks to everything in your mouth but the teeth toung and gums. So it cleans your mouth better than a toothbrush and toothpaste, and without the abrasive qualitys of toothpaste that shratch the tooth enamel and cause cavitys and of course return dentist visits (damn the ADA). Really, when you go to throw it away you can see the food particals and gunk in the gum ... it works.
No one is selling this product as a mouth clensing gum. However it is being sold as a resin/catylest for incence/spells at hippie/magic online stores, Also Mexican Wood Artists and Furniture Handcrafters use it as a sealant. It is used in non-toxic/organic stains and sealers. And Stic Incince Manufactures use it again as a resin not just in pine scented but widespread as a way to keep it burning.
