Something that's really good that may sound strange is milk with blackstrap molasses mixed in. We have a cow therefore we have good milk on hand, and like to buy blackstrap molasses by the gallon. 1 TBSP of that kind of molasses has 25% of your daily iron.

i should try tea too more often
I drink Ginkgo Biloba most of the time. It has a lot of antioxidants too. I mainly do this first to open up the fine blood vessels to the extremities and brain, so they get as much O2 and nutrients as possible. Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor (temporarily shrinks blood vessels). I want to negate that particular effect. Ginko is one of the plants that reverses aging, is a dilator, improves healing and dozens of other benefits. It's a good tree. I should see if the one I want is available now to buy and plant in my yard.

That's my plan.
I am working towards opening a store to provide others the many gifts the Lord has made for us to use to become healthy and happy.

I've heard it's a good winter tonic. We've dug up the roots and made tea with them; it's really good. But someone said it's not good to drink more than a cup a day because it thins your blood.

It tastes really good.
That's pretty neat that you do wild edibles/ teas too!

I have a friend who had cancer that drinks a lot of it. I did some reading on it and learned that it does indeed have good health benefits. One thing I noted is that it has to be carefully processed somehow, to remove a carcinogenic component. I have warned my friend because Pappy's Brand Sassafras Tea is his favorite.

Yeah I know sometimes coffee makes me extra talkative lol!

I'm not a conniseur of coffee for sure, but I do prefer organic if I'm drinking real coffee. A lot of times I drink Caffix, a natural coffee substitute. I like iced coffee sweetened with honey but I usually don't sweeten hot drinks. I'm actually more of a hot tea drinker than coffee especially in the winter.
I looked for Caffix in the nutrition section of Kroger's. I'm surprised they didn't have it. There's a specialty gift shop in the neighborhood that I will look for it. Maybe I will carry it in my store when the time comes.

Huh I don't know! Yeah it seems like they would have it.

Yeah that would be cool if you'd carry it.

Barley, rye, chicory, and sugar beets. Non GMO
Non GMO beets. That's rare. Sounds like a good combo. I want to grow a couple sweet varieties myself.
That's similar to the last kind I bought for inventory. I got out a box to sample it now.

Organic Reishi Mushroom extract
Organic Puerh Tea leaf
Org Roasted Chicory
Org Cinnamon bark
Org Ginger root
Org Green Tea leaf extract

I really like it. It helps stabilize energy throughout the afternoon without depending on caffeine. Tastes good too.

Neat, what is it called? I've also tried Dandy Blend; not sure of all the ingredients but I think it's mostly dandelion root.

Morning vitality. I like dandelion too. I pick it mostly in the spring and use every part of the plant. The stem is a little bitter so it gets fried or boiled in soups. The leaves and flowers taste good when mixed with other greens. The root has a lot of minerals. What a super food!

If you ever find an especially good tea or healthy product that you notice a benefit from using, please let me know. I'm making lists for my future inventory.

Sure I'll keep that in mind.

Yeah dandelion maybe doesn't taste as good as some of the other wild edibles but I'm sure they're healthy! I've mostly had them raw in salads but I think they'd be good cooked like you said.

I'm looking forward to seeing them soon up here. I just bought some mayonnaise that is good. It's made with MCT oil from coconut.
I like the barbeque sauce from down south as a salad dressing. Do they use the mustard sauce in your state? It's all tomato based in West Virginia.
