I have had these from Trader Joes few yrs ago when they carried them. They were big juicy and yummy. Navitas ones that got shipped(had 2 bags) were small, more bitter than sour and dry. I will be in search of better ones.
California Golden Berries
Update: i got the same 8 ounce pack from whole foods. 10 times better. Most are juicy, soft and consistent quality. fyi the lot# of whole foods ones is 2521 and one from amazon is 405. That may explain the dried berries from amazon seller.

There was a gooseberry bush where I lived growing up and every year we
looked forward to harvesting the gooseberries. What a treat to find
them here dried. They are tangy and delicious, but only if you like a
sharp tangy flavor. Other reviewers commented that they only received
one pouch, which would be very annoying. Two pouches as advertised were
shipped to me and arrived promptly.
California Golden Berries
Unlike other reviewers, I did receive 2 packages, as stated in the item
description. They are great tasting and make for a perfect snack between
meals.
California Golden Berries
If you like tart flavors this is what you want to add to yogurt, cereal,
oatmeal or just to eat on their own. So wonderfully nutritious.
Christmas celebrations are unique in the terms of thematic decorations that give a festive face lift to any commercial or living space. This involves placing and redecorating several of the season's special elements, apart from the Christmas tree. One such interesting addition is a handmade reindeer that can be placed at any strategic spot. Birch tree is the best option for such craft due to their cultural significance, availability, and easy designing. You will need to cut some small logs using saw and fixing some framework. Therefore, this craft is more suitable for the adults in the family, though children may be involved later at the decoration stage. Here are some easy tips to erect your own birch branch reindeer for the coming holidays.
Materials needed:
• Chainsaw or handsaw
• Drill
• Nails and hammer (optional)
• Birch tree branches, slightly thicker
• Thin branches or twigs from the same tree or any other suitable one
• Straight cylindrical rods made of wood or metal (dowel)
• Cotton balls, wool, or small pompoms
• Paint
• Glue
• Googly eyes (optional)
• Large red bead
• Small Christmas bell
• Evergreen branches of a flexible variety or suitable climbers
• Ribbons and laces
• Poinsettia (fresh or dried)
• Glitters
• Colorful berries (natural or artificial), tiny pine cones, ornaments or any suitable stuff used in small wreaths
Steps to make Christmas birch branch reindeer:
• Structure formation:
• Dissecting the branches: Cut the branches into two logs, one-half the size of the other.
• Smoothing: Use garden trimmer or knife to remove excess side branches, leaves, etc. and smooth the logs.
• Making hole: Drill a hole in both the logs, a few inches from one end. These holes should be proportionate to the diameter of the dowel.
• Forming body: Fix a dowel in both the holes in such a way that the larger forms the abdomen and the smaller, the head portion.
• Legs: Drill four holes for the legs and insert dowels. You may also use branches of the trees in place of the dowels.
• Antlers: Make holes for the antlers on the head and place twigs.
• Nose: Fix the red bead as nose.
• Eyes: Paint the entire structure, including eyes, in the natural shade of reindeer.
• Decoration: The main decoration is done to cover the dowel in the neck area and part of the legs. It is created in the form of a loosely shaped wreath.
• Branches: Take evergreen branches of appropriate size and form. Tie the ends.
• Ribbons: Tie ribbons in places around the closed loop.
• Accessorizing neck: Interlace other decorations, like golden painted pine-cones, berries, ornaments etc. Hand the entire adornment around the neck of the reindeer.
• Body cover: Cut a rectangular piece of red velvet cloth and lace it from all sides. Place the cloth on the back of the reindeer to give it the true holiday look!

A raw food diet is very popular among people of all ages and walks of life. Raw food diets have been around since the beginning of time, but as people begin to learn about the value of enzymes, vitamins, and minerals that are often lost when food is heated above a certain temperature, it becomes attractive to an ever widening number of people. Many people assume that a raw food diet has to be bland and made up of simple raw foods, but there are many great raw food recipes for beginners that are simple and delicious. As you learn more and get more comfortable working with raw food you'll become more willing to try new recipes on your own.
One simple and delicious raw recipe for beginners is a hemp and berry smoothie. You simply need:
1 banana
2 tablespoons hulled hemp seed
3/4 cup frozen berries
Water
Simply put all of these items in a blender and add just enough water so that the berries, banana, and seeds are covered. Blend until well mixed. You can add more or less water depending on how thick you want the smoothie to be. This is great as a snack, as breakfast, or a meal on the go. Blend in a handful of spinach or parsley for an added kick of nutrition.
There are a great many raw recipes that are very quick and easy to prepare. When you have the items on hand, you will find that you can make a lot of great items in just a few short minutes so even if you are very busy you can make the raw lifestyle a part of your every day life.
Another delicious recipe is raw oatmeal... to prepare you'll need:
2 apples
1 banana
1 tablespoon golden flax seeds
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Water
Place flax seeds in enough water to cover them and allow to sit over night. In the morning peel the apples (unless organic) and chop and peel the banana and break into pieces. Rinse the flax seeds. Put all of these items into a blender and mix, adding about 1/4 cup water. For a twist you can replace the water with juice or almond milk for a whole new taste.
To simplify this beginner recipe even more, use chia seeds instead of flax. This can cut down soak time to just 5 or 10 minutes. Additionally, although often more expensive, chia seeds are said to be nutritionally superior to flax seeds.

Myths From Around The World
Raspberries are sold and produced throughout the world, which has given rise to myths about why raspberries are red and even one myth about the magical qualities of the fruit.
One popular myth comes from France, which tells the story about how raspberries use to be only white in colour. The myth states that one day, a nymph named Ida was taking care of an infant Zeus (also referred to as Jupiter). Zeus was crying and to help soothe him, Ida picked some white raspberries. But when she went to pick the raspberries, she scratched herself on a thorn and started to bleed. Her blood dripped on the white raspberries, instantly turning them red and they have been red ever since.
Another myth, which originates from Germany, talks about the magical qualities of raspberries. It states that to tame a bewitched horse, one would have to tie a wild raspberry twig around the horse's body.
Finally, a modern myth tells the story of how raspberries turned a fox's fur red. In the Tale of the Raspberry Fox, by Henning Buchhagen, there is a fox named Ferdinand. At that time, all foxes were grey in colour. The tale tells how Ferdinand didn't like to eat meat, so one day he decided to eat some raspberries and discovered that he loved eating them. He kept eating raspberries and the more he ate, the redder his fur became. Ever since then, all foxes have had red fur and like to eat fruit.

Funnel cakes always make me think of Knott's Berry Farm, which is the first place I ever had one when I was a kid. Funnel cakes, a long time staple at carnivals, fairs and ballparks, get their name from how they are made. A runny batter is poured through a funnel into hot oil in a circular pattern and then is cooked on both sides until it is crispy and golden-brown. Traditionally funnel cakes are either coated with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar to make a sweet treat, or are topped with jam.
Here's a recipe I have for making your own funnel cakes to enjoy at home:
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir together the eggs and milk in a large mixing bowl. Add flour mixture to the egg mixture. Beat with a mixer until smooth; the consistency should be thin enough to run through a small kitchen funnel. Test it and if it is too thick beat in a little more milk; if too thin, beat in a bit more flour.
Heat the vegetable oil in an 8" skillet until it is about 360 degrees. Plug the bottom opening of the funnel by putting your finger over it, and fill the funnel with a generous 1/2 cup of the batter. Hold the funnel close to the surface of the oil, and release the batter into the oil while making a circular motion. Fry until golden brown, use tongs and wide spatula to turn the cake over carefully. Fry the second side 1 minute. Drain on paper towels, and sprinkle with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar, or add your favorite fruit topping.
These funnel cakes are really easy to make, low cost and are great for breakfast or just for snacking.

PREGNANCY NUTRITION: TOP FOODS TO EAT AND TO AVOID!
Pregnancy Nutrition: BREAKFAST IDEAS
Fresh fruit smoothie: Blend any fresh fruit (with some natural unsweetened live yoghurt (soya, goat or cow's) and a handful of mixed seeds (e.g. pumpkin, sunflower, sesame and linseed).
Tip: if you are in a hurry, add fresh orange or apple juice to dilute your smoothie so it's easy to drink, then put in a beaker and take it with you.
Boiled, scrambled or poached egg with buttered oat cakes or rye toast. - Wholegrain rye toast spread with nut butter (almond, cashew, hazel or peanut)
Mix a handful of oats in a bowl of live natural yoghurt and top with a few pieces of chopped fresh fruit and a handful of chopped nuts.
Spread some cream cheese on corn cakes or wheat-free bread/crackers and top with wild or organic smoked salmon.
Porridge cooked in water with grated apple and a teaspoon of cinnamon. Tip: soak oats in water for 10 minutes before cooking - this will bring out their creamy flavour, so there's no need to use milk. Add some hot stewed apple and berries
An omelet (filling ideas: grated cheese and red onion, mixed fresh herbs, chopped tomatoes and peppers, garlic mushrooms and watercress, smoked salmon).
Baked beans on rye toast.
Pregnancy Nutrition: DRINKS IDEAS
Herb teas instead of caffeinated tea. There are so many varieties now, experiment until you find one you like. Rooibosch (Red Bush) tea is the closest to 'normal' tea and can be drunk with milk.
Caro, Barleycup and Dandelion coffee are all caffeine-free coffee alternatives. Teeccino is a delicious coffee substitute that you make in a cafetiere (comes in different flavors, e.g. mocha, vanilla nut, almond amaretto)
Instead of alcohol, mix fruit, elderflower or ginger cordials with sparking water.
SEEDS are rich in protein, essential fats, vitamins and minerals - grinding them helps to release their nutrients. Aim to have a heaped tablespoon each day and add to cereals, yogurt, soups or salads.
Buy some fresh, unsalted seeds - pumpkin, sunflower, sesame and linseed (also called flaxseeds - the golden variety is richer in essential fats than brown).Using a coffee grinder or a grinding attachment from a food processor, grind a mixture that's 50% linseed and 50% a combination of pumpkin, sunflower and sesame. Grind enough to fill a small glass jar (choose glass rather than plastic as plastic can damage the essential fats in the seeds). Store your jar in the fridge. Ideally, keep your unground seeds in a dark cupboard to protect them from light or oxygen damage (essential fats can be damaged easily).
Pregnancy Nutrition: ENERGY BOOSTING SNACK IDEAS
An apple and a handful of pumpkin or sunflower seeds
A pear, peach or other seasonal fruit with 10 fresh almonds

Colloidal Gold's Benefits Revealed Through Scientific Research
When we look at the medical history of human kind since the dawn of time, we see some interesting trends that take place. One such trend is the fact that although the life span of humans has increased considerably in the last 5000 years, (health wise) the quality of life has decreased considerably. In anthropological researches conducted by scientists, it is seen that the formidable diseases of today (such as cancer, heart diseases, diabetes, hypertension and depression) were not seen back then. Although the style of life accounts somewhat for these results, it is thought that the feeding habits of the ancient people could account for this healthy state.
Colloidal Gold's Benefits Revealed Through Scientific Research
A scientific analysis of our ancestors shows that their diet consisted of trace minerals and elements that are not found today. The diet that they ate consisted of trace elements such as selenium, platinum, silver and gold. This is a serious problem, as nowadays the food stuffs found in nature lack these trace elements. Especially silver and gold has been found to be beneficial to various health properties in the human body.
Golden Berries
Colloidal Gold's Benefits Revealed Through Scientific Research
Ancient Chinese and ancient Mayans have used gold in their diet regularly. It was thought that eating gold in minute amounts would make the body more stronger and more durable. This was mainly due to the fact that gold was found in trace amounts in the soil and by eating plans and animal flesh that was grown in that soil, they were able to receive their daily dose of gold and other trace minerals. In addition, it was documented that joint pains was reduced considerably and consuming gold had an uplifting effect against depression. A French study in 1927 showed that placing a 5 dollar gold coin on a painful joint reduced the pain considerably and improved the circulation around the effected area.

Colloidal Gold's Benefits Revealed Through Scientific Research
Although gold is not found naturally these days, you have the option of using colloidal gold which is specially prepared food stuff. It can also be called a super food, as it allows your body to gain the positive attributes that gold can give to your health. Colloidal gold is formed by the electrolysis process which allows minute amounts of gold to be dissolved in a liquid form. Pure 24 K gold electrodes are subjected to thousands of volts of electricity. This process allows the gold molecules to be dissolved and purplish red colloidal gold solution is formed as a result. The molecular structure and the electron configuration of colloidal gold are perfectly suited for its healing properties.
By using colloidal gold regularly, you are able to reduce joint pains, increase the strength of your immune system, gain a sense of euphoria, reduce depression, combat fatigue, and improve circulation in your body. A research by the University of California in 1996 has also shown that usage of colloidal gold has an effect of increasing cellular repair processes in the certain parts of your body. One of the good things about using colloidal gold is the fact that it is completely non toxic and it can be easily consumed by adults and children without any discernible side effects.

Evergreen Shrubs And Hedges Are Important, Cold Hardy Landscape Specimen Plants
Next to the landscape importance of trees is that of shrubs that grow in our gardens, parks, landscape foundation, street borders, and commercial landscapes. Thousands of different varieties of shrubs are grown to ornaMent lawns, yards, and borders, but only a few varieties are available to buy at your local nursery for planting, and growing. Many shrubs are selected and grown on a basis of intelligent buying of flowering hedges, evergreen cold hardiness, non-flowering hedges, berry shrubs, and deciduous shrubs. Many shrubs glow with brightly colored leaves in the fall and winter.

Evergreen Shrubs And Hedges Are Important, Cold Hardy Landscape Specimen Plants
Although it is common for some shrub stems to die from shading out, they will be renewed by new shoots; and like trees, shrubs live for years and are considered a good property, longtime investMent, and a permanent fixture in the landscape.
Usually planting shrubs as privacy hedges will mature to a point in four to five years, that the privacy screen will be vigorously solid and dense enough to hide whatever lies behind it.
Some shrubs thrive in dry soils; others in wet soils, but most shrubs and hedges fall in-between and require well drained growing areas. All other possible growing extremes are important for planting shrubs, and hedges such as altitude, shade, wind exposure, and soil relative fertility levels. Azaleas, for instance, grow well underneath the shade of most trees, including Pine trees, and will decline Fast and soon die, if planted to grow in full sun. Azaleas must have organic matter incorporated into the soil to thrive, and the proper acidity (pH) of the soil is necessary for azalea plants to live. Pine straw is often effective to keep azaleas weed free. Long lines of blooming azalea plants are often dramatic when plant underneath pine trees, when the azalea flowers being to display their expanding blooms. The shallow root system of azaleas require substantial watering during dry spells to insure plenty of azalea flowers, the spring season following summer droughts.
Small Evergreen Shrubs
Evergreen shrubs are an important choice to consider for planting, in order to insure green color presence during the gloomy days of winter. Many gardeners want an evergreen shrub as a hedge to maintain privacy when cold weather arrives. Anise, Illicium florianum grows into small hedges in resorts like Sea Island, Georgia, and exotic red flowers and liquorish aromas rise from the leaves in the summer. Acuba japonica variegata 'Gold Dust' is also called the Gold Dust plant. Acuba makes an interesting low growing shrub to plant and grow next to brick buildings. Cleyera, Ternstroemia gymanthera, is an interesting shrub for coastal areas, because Cleyera shrubs are very tolerant of salt water spray, and the waxy green leaves have a unique tropical appearance in the landscape. Boxwood, Buxus microphylla asiaticum, is also salt water tolerant with dense coloring throughout the zones 5 - 9. Boxwood is one of the most important and popular shrubs to buy in the U.S, notably as a neat, clean grower, Boxwood is not Fast growing, thus requiring many years to reach 3 feet in height. Boxwood plants are commonly planted in rows along walkways. Larger boxwood plants work nicely in group plantings in front of buildings
Eleagnus, Eleagnus pungens, is one of the Fastest growing shrubs and grows as a superb barrier hedge or privacy fence that can grow up to 10 feet tall. Eleagnus is salt water tolerant, and can be grown in containers at commercial locales.
