The plant that keeps on giving. Look at the different leaves on this sassafras plant. There is one leaf that is shaped like a closed hand. There is another leaf that looks like a mitten. Lastly, there is another that has fingers. The Indians used to use the bark or stem to brush their teeth. Number one: because it did a good job of scraping. Two, it tasted good.
Finally, my favorite! Sassafras is used to make root beer.
