I never ate one of these until it was offered at the Ananda Yoga Center. Since then, I can't get enough. I have some every morning with my yogurt. I once tried finding some in Japan, but all I came across was some very expensive juice.
They supposedly have positive effects on heart disease and high blood pressure. The name "apple seed" is a literal translation of the Latin. In Nepal they are called "anar," a word borrowed from Persia, where the fruit is thought to have originated.
Know what it is?

ReplyDeleteHow are ya Cuz?!
actually you can find these in Japan....almost every winter they are in the stores. I think the Japanese word is "zakuro"
Jeffy, I am pondering a return to the US....yep.
As I recall, you not infrequently pondered such.
ReplyDeletePass the zakuro. ;-)
Thailand called "Tubtim"
ReplyDeleteindeed! Pass the zakuro~!
ReplyDeleteYes I have pondered this for better than a year now.
Looks like I am making actual strides this time though. On the 13th I will be going to NJ for a test for the nuke plant job I once spoke to you about in the fall of 2007. If it works out, I will be making the move.
Honestly a little unsettling (literally and figuratively) but when i do a pros vs cons I find the pros winning out for us all.
Wish me luck, or fate, on the test.
your cuz
Looking forward to visiting Jersey and front-row Springsteen tix.
ReplyDeleteI'll light a candle for you at the Stupa. Maybe I can convince a monk to say a prayer.
Safe travels, cuz.
