Sesame Seeds Whole (Sesamum indicum) 1 lb: C
This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Sesame is one of the most delicious, nutritious and versatile of the culinary seeds. Sesame seeds are popular the world over. Throughout Eastern Asia they are most often used toasted. The Near East likes them untoasted and dried. Mexico's complex mole poblano meat sauce numbers sesame seeds among its many ingredients (including meat stock, spices, raisins, tomatoes and cocoa).

Spoon mixture into 8-inch springform pan; sprinkle with remaining almonds. 5. Cover with plastic wrap or foil; freeze until firm, about 4 hours. 6. To serve, scoop from the pan or cut into slices. Chicory & Caerphilly Strudel: http://ma.essortment.com/cheesestrudelr_ruzn.htm: 7 oz. defrosted pastry, rolled out very thin 5 oz. chicory, washed and shredded 1 onion, finely chopped 1 cup Caerphilly cheese, grated 1 egg, beaten 1 green salad to serve soft buttered rolls to serve Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C).

The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Chicory, 'The dried, above-ground parts and/or roots' for 'Loss of appetite, dyspepsia. Side Effects: In rare cases, allergic skin reactions.' 'Average daily dosage: 3 g of herb; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Cut herb for teas, as well as other bitter-tasting preparations for internal uses. Action: Mildly choleretic.' Chicory works by increasing the flow of bile into the digestive tract, and is therefore an appetite stimulant and digestive aid, and is so recognized by contemporary scientific herbalism. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Enormous quantities of the plant are cultivated on the Continent, to supply the grocer with the ground Chicory which forms an ingredient or adulteration to coffee. In Belgium, Chicory is sometimes even used as a drink without admixture of coffee. For this purpose, the thick cultivated root is sliced, kiln-dried, roasted and then ground. It differs from coffee in the absence of volatile oil, rich aromatic flavour, caffeine and caffeotannic acid, and in the presence of a large amount of ash, including silica.' 'When infused, Chicory gives to coffee a bitterish tast |

Sprinkle on salad or add to salad dressings Add to soups, stews, chowders and casseroles Add to fish sauces for sea flavor Bake in breads Complements most cheeses, nuts and seeds, potatoes, tomatoes, most seafoods, most fruits, all salads, all sea vegetables Dulse is a red seaweed that grows on the intertidal rocks, which are uncovered at low tide. It can be found on the Atlantic coasts of Scotland and Ireland, Greenland, northern France and the Saint-Laurence estuary. It is an ancient cattle feed and famine food. Shaped like the palm of a hand, it has the texture of thin rubber. It is commonly dried and eaten raw by North Atlantic fishermen; the flavour becomes evident after prolonged chewing. Dulse is also eaten with fish and butter, boiled with milk and rye flour, or as a relish. The gelatinous substance contained in dulse is a thickening agent and imparts a reddish colour to the food with which it is mixed. In Scotland, Ireland and Iceland it is known as Söl. It is blended into milk drinks, lemon flavoured oils, jellies or just sugar coated, like breakfast cereal. Flour is also made from it. Throughout northern North America, Dulse is appreciated as a beer appetizer. Dulse is a rich source of calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, iodine, manganese, copper, chromium, zinc, and vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, C and E. |

Juniper Berry Whole Cert. Organic (Juniperus communis) 1 lb: C
This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. The berries can be eaten whole, crushed, cooked with sweetner, or brewed into a tea, boiled to decoction strength, or steepd in wine. Juniper is the flavoring agent in gin. Juniper has traditionally been used in the making of everything from soap to perfume. Juniper ointment is a soothing antiseptic treatment for eczema and psoriasis. Juniper is an effective urinary antiseptic, and is carminative. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Juniper berry for 'Dyspepsia.' 'Contraindications: Pregnancy and inflammation of the kidneys. Side Effects: Prolonged usage or overdosing may cause kidney damage.' 'Daily dose: 2 to a maximum of 10 g of the dried juniper fruit, corresponding to 20 - 100 mg of the essential oil. Mode of Administration: Whole, crushed, or powdered drug for infusions and decoctions, alcohol extracts, and in wine. Essential oil. Liquid and solid medicinal forms only for oral application.' Combinations with other plant drugs in teas and similar preparations for treating bladder and kidney diseases may be helpful.' 'Action: Animal experiments have shown an increase in urine excretion as well as a direct effect on smooth muscle contraction.' Juniper is often combined with other diuretic and antimicrobial herbs for bladder and kidney conditions. The volatile oils cause an increase in urine volume, which seems to lower uric acid levels. Although juniper lignans inhibit the herpes simplex virus in laboratory studies, treatment for human herpes infections by juniper has yet to be proven. The traditional use of juniper in topical ointments, however, does seem to have some lab confirmation. Juniper contains bitter substances, at least partly accounting for its traditional use in digestive upset and related problems. The tea is made thick, a teaspoon of juniper berries being allowed to steep for 20 minutes in just one cup of boiling water. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Oil of Juniper is given as a diuretic, stomachic, and carminative in indigestion, flatulence, and diseases of the kidney and bladder. Spirit of Juniper has properties resembling Oil of Turpentine: it is employed as a stimulating diuretic in cardiac and hepatic dropsy. The fruit is readily eaten by most animals, especially sheep, and is said to prevent and cure dropsy in the latter.' 'The chief use of Juniper is as an adjuvant to diuretics in dropsy depending on heart, liver or kidney disease. It imparts a violet odour to the urine, and large doses may cause irritation to the passages. An infusion of 1 oz. to 1 pint of boiling water may be taken in the course of twenty-four hours. In France the berries have been used in chest complaints and in leucorrhoea, blenorrhoea, scrofula, etc. They are not given in substance. The oil is a local stimulant.'

Ginger Root Crystalized Pieces Cert. Organic (Zingiber officinale; Gan Jiang) 1 lb: C
This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. This is candied ginger, sugared, ginger. It is one of the world's premier confections. It is wonderful by itself or as an accompaniment to expresso and cakes, Champagne and fruit. Given a bittersweet chocolate coating garnished with chopped macadamia or hazelnuts it is an elegant candy. Chopped or julliened it garnishes pastries, custards, pumpkin pies, stewed fruits, cookies and many other desserts. It is even a welcome accompaniment to a curry. Dried ginger is a traditional pungent spice used worldwide to flavor breads, sauces, curry dishes, confections, pickles, and ginger ale. The peeled root may be preserved by boiling in syrup. In Japan and elsewhere, slices of fresh ginger are eaten between dishes to clear the palate. Dried ginger is an optional component of curry powders, of the chinese five spice powder, of berebere, a spice mixture from Ethiopia, of a traditional Indonesian spice recipe, and in the French spice mixture quatre épices. Ginger is used medically to help expel gas from the intestines and treat nausea from morning sickness, upset stomach, seasickness, and motion sickness. It is also used to help reduce fevers and lessen the symptoms of colds. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Ginger root for 'Dyspepsia, prevention of motion sickness.' 'Contraindications: With gallstones, only to be used after consultation with a physician.' 'Daily dosage: 2 - 4 g rhizome; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Chopped or comminuted rhizome and dry extracts for teas, other galenical preparations for internal use.' 'Actions: Antiemetic; Positively inotropic; Promoting secretion of saliva and gastric juices; Cholagogue. In animals: antispasmodic. In humans: increase in tonus and peristalsis in intestines.' Ginger's ability to prevent vomiting has been verified by clinical trial, and it has been shown to stimulate the intestines and promote production of saliva, digestive juices, and fat-processing bile. It also tends to boost the pumping action of the heart. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Stimulant, carminative, given in dyspepsia and flatulent colic excellent to add to bitter infusions; specially valuable in alcoholic gastritis; of use for diarrhoea from relaxed bowel where there is no inflammation.' 'Ginger Tea is a hot infusion very useful for stoppage of the mensesdue to cold, externally it is a rubefacient.' 'Dosage: Infusion: ½ oz. bruised or powdered root to 1 pint boiling water is taken in 1 fluid ounce. Dose, 10 to 20 grains.' 'Preparation: Fluid extract, 10 to 20 drops.
