My dear brothers and sisters,

Why not a Helianthus tuberosus salad? Why not?! After all its alive and nutritious and is a food of the native Americans.We’re referring to sunchokes, of course. They can be eaten raw, baked or steamed. We simply grate them and then combine them with grated apples and grated walnuts.Why not add some cranberries and then some dates, pitted and diced? Toss onto  a bed of kale and lettuce.

For a luxuriously, creamy dressing we start with a half cup of our Alive, Organic Tahini and add some tablespoons of our California Farm Olive Oil. Then some lemon juice, a few cloves of garlic and a pinch of salt...  blend! Then toss the dressing onto the salad! Voila’! A Festive Sunchoke Salad!

We then have a fascinating study of the result of drinking a moderate amount of olive oil every day for a week.

Our December Victory Garden sale includes Cashew Butter, Tumeric and Honey Butter and Golden Flax seeds.

We offer 10% off these featured items (Remember, if you buy 3 or more of any Living Tree manufactured product, you get an additional 10% off!)

Our Black Sesame Tahini is now in a 16oz jar. We make it by slicing raw black sesame seeds into a luxurious spread adding organic black sesame oil. An excellent source of calcium.

We then present a magnificent talk by Chris Van Tulleken on the nature and consequences of ultra processed food. One resultant, the epidemic of obesity is especially tragic as it affects so many  millions.

Finally, Tom Biernacki gives a fine talk on edema, swollen legs and ankles. He outlines the causes and gives ways people can cope with this widespread problem.

Please accept our vibrant, good wishes for good health, prosperity and success to you and family,
