By the way, have you ever tried goji berries? I've been experimenting with some new foods lately, and this is something I thought I'd try. They are grown in the Himilayan mountains in Tibet, in an area where there are no pesticides. They are imported to the US only once a year (around this time...I had to wait to get them after I found out about them). I read a lot about them, and they are VERY healthy,, and have been used in Tibetan medicine for centuries. Even 10% protein (quite intersting for a fruit, IMO). Best thing is, they taste REALLY good! Like a dried cranberry that's not at all tart, or a cross between a raisin and an dried cherry (but not as sweet or tart). They aren't dried like raisins (which still have a lot of moisture in), but are almost the texture of dried zucchini (kind of crispy, but chewy when you eat them). I've been using them in my morning smoothie the last few days. (As well as maca root, another new discovery, and hemp powder---though I see that VeganEssentials just added a vegan protein powder made with: hemp, maca and goji berries!).
Thanks,
Heather
