I don't know how you would prepare it from fresh plants. If you do, make sure
they have not been spayed with insecicide or herbicide. It would probably be
easier just to buy the stuff in a tube, if you did fancy trying it.

I just got a packet of the Eygyptian spice liquorice and the Mexican spice
Choco yesterday. The Choco is made from cocoa nut shell and is divine.
They have a website
http://www.goldentemple.nl
nl as it is based in netherlands (nl)
Barleycup is made from European roasted barley grain, it is made in the
same way as instant coffee.

I met a lady who had that when I was in hospital a whole back. She said she
was supposed to be eating more vegetables. Or was it diverticulitis? Maybe
thats what she had. How does it affect you, is it from lupus?
As for nuts, the nut butters might be easier for you to digest. I imagine
they would be just as good for you as raw nuts. Also some nuts are more fatty
than others, for example brazil nuts are very fatty while almonds are not. I
made a delicious sugarfree marzipan lat week. I girind the almonds (about
250grammes) to a fine powder. I cook 60 g dried apricots in a little soya
milk and blend it with some vanilla extract and mix it in with the ground
almonds, until it is a dough, then a I form it into little balls which I coat
in cocoa powder. Delicious!
