a miracle fruit ... from Eden?

The actual location of Eden must have been somewhere in Persia, modern day Iran/Iraq. Unfortunately, today there does not grow much apart from figs, dates, pomegranates, etc... (great fruits! and actually: Persian food is very interesting and tasty. "Thank you!" to all my Persian friends for this introduction).

Prior to setting up my new business web site, I have started a blog on which I want to share some of the research and benefits of eating fruit, more specifically:
wolfberries or Goji in Chinese.

It was already known to the West that eating mull -, blue -, rasp -, cran - and other berries contain a high level of nutrients and are wholesome food sources. Now the East berry is hitting the West!

In May this year, I met
Rev. Kobus van Rensburg (South Africa) at a healing seminar, who informed us of an ethnic group in the Himalayas who pass well the 150 year age threshold! Indepth research led me to some legends/records and studies done in those areas and what food they intake. Obviously, because I am in the "dehydrated fruit business", I was particularly interested in a berry that grows in the mountainous provinces of North West China.

I have been eating the wolfberry for 6 weeks and can already experience an energy increase as well as some weight loss (though this can be contributed to the great 'confinement' food my mother-in-law cooks for my wife and myself!!)

So, Eden ... now the 'forbidden fruit' (*) grows in China .. though in Iran grows pomegranate, another miracle fruit.

Check out my other blog for updates on this!

(*) I say "forbidden" here, because it has been "hidden" for such a long time!
