| | Sassafras - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Sassafras is a genus of two species of deciduous trees in the family Lauraceae, native to eastern North America and eastern Asia. | | | Sassafras essential oil is also the preferred source of safrole for MDMA production by clandestine laboratories, thus its sale is monitored by the DEA. | | | Although sassafras can serve many useful purposes, safrole is now recognized by the USDA as a carcinogen. |

| | Sassafras ranges from Maine to Florida and into the midwest, and can be found as saplings tenaciously taking over old meadows, or in the forest as much larger trees. | | | I always remember sassafras because of the three types of leaves it has, all growing on one tree: a simple shape, a mitten, and a double mitten. | | | This gives you a concentrated sassafras syrup that you can dilute half and half with water and add honey to taste. |
