Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Thanks to your generous support we have been able to continually innovate. Alive, Organic Sunflower Butter is our latest creation. We’ve added Black Sesame Oil to make it more spreadable and alive honey and Royal Himalaya Pink Crystal Salt as natural preservatives. Our Black Sesame Oil, a Living Tree exclusive, gives it depth of flavor.

We have put on sale for February some of our most wonderful creations including Pumpkin Seed Butter, Coconut Mango Persimmon Butter, Desiree Black Sesame Pesto and Hemp Seed Butter.

February is Chocolate Ecstasy Month! We feature a Chocolate Combination Pack containing all five of our alive, organic chocolates.

Master Chef Diana Hirsch is creating a recipe for alive pecan pie. We give below, Part One, the crust. It is made from almonds, pecans and medjool dates. Needless to say you can use this crust for many other confections. Part Two, the filling, will appear in the next newsletter.

We were edified to hear, last week, there went out a call from Washington for a ”new generation of safe, clean nuclear power plants”. Nuclear power is neither safe nor clean. There is no such thing as a “safe” dose of radiation and just because nuclear pollution is invisible doesn’t mean it’s “clean”. For years, nuclear plants have been leaking radioactive waste from underground pipes and radioactive waste pulls into the groundwater at sites across the nation.

Now if we stand back and look, this obscenity fits in with the attacks on raw milk and on raw almonds and the relentless drive to weaken organic standards. Not to mention the near universality of chemical laden, synthetic and genetically engineered foods.

We ask ourselves, "Just what is it about aliveness that seems to pose such a threat?" Could it be that it is the antithesis of subservience, acquiescence and servility? Could it be that live food is intrinsically political? Eating alive, organic food has become a political act. With that green smoothie in your hand,you are standing up and saying no to deadliness. You are saying yes! to family farmers.You were saying, yes! to family and friends and neighbors. You are saying yes! to the people of America, to its topsoil, to its plants and animals. How stuck, deeply stuck is a nation that throws away $800 billion bailing out the selfsame people who created the bubble. That creates a healthcare program that is little more than an enormous trough for the insurance and pharmaceutical companies. Is it not clear that “change you can believe in” is a illusion? Cynical politicians aren’t going to do it. The rebirthing of America can only come from you. As Abraham Lincoln rightly asked, Is there any better or equal hope in the world?

New This Month

New! Alive Organic Sunflower Butter

Our newest creation.Beginning with organic sunflower seeds we have added our unique Living Tree Alive Black Sesame Oil. We have also added alive Brazilian Honey and a dash of Himalayan Pink Crystal Salt as natural preservatives.

Sunflower seeds are very high in Vitamin E, a highly effective anti-inflammatory and immunity enhancer. Studies have shown strong links between Vitamin E and eye health. Additionally, just 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds provides half the daily recommended serving of Vitamin B1, or Thiamin, which helps the body to convert blood sugar into energy and strengthens the immune system. Sunflower seeds are also high in pantothenic acid, known to reduce the effects of acne and aid in the healing scars and wounds. Overall, sunflower seeds are calorie for calorie, one of nature's most potent forms of nutrition.

Sesame oil is one of the oldest oils known man, with samples as much as 3000 years old being found by archaeologists in India and Persia. This ancient healing oil is high in manganese, copper, and calcium, along with two chemicals totally unique to sesame seeds, sesamin and sesamolin. Sesamin has been shown to increase the body's ability to burn fat while also decreasing its fat storage capacity, making it an increasingly popular supplement for weight loss. Research shows that sesamolin can protect the liver from oxidative damage. When rubbed on the skin, sesame oil has been known to relieve sunburns, aid in the healing process, and, according to some reports even reduce wrinkles.

Keep refrigerated.

Alive,Organic Pumpkin Seed Butter

A delightful pumpkin seed spread made from Austrian pumpkin seeds.  Very nourishing and energizing. A balanced source of good protein. High in zinc, a mineral that aids the healing process.Delicious, nutritious, nutty-flavored pumpkin seeds have diuretic properties; diuretics clearly help reduce heart attacks and strokes, an American Journal of Cardiology study says (Wall St.Journal,1/4/05,p.1). Studies have shown that pumpkin seeds are beneficial for the prostate gland. They soothe irritated tissues, eliminate pain, and expel parasites. Pumpkin seeds aid milk production in nursing mothers.

Made from a variety of pumpkin seed that is a culinary specialty of south eastern Austria (Styria),These Styrian pumpkin seeds have an intense nutty taste and are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids.  Studies have also shown that pumpkin seeds, which contain amino acids, steroidal compounds, and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, may lower the risk of certain types of kidney stones and improve symptoms associated with enlarged prostates. Additionally, pumpkin seeds reportedly contain significant amounts of L-tryptophan. Some studies have also found pumpkin seeds to prevent arteriosclerosis and regulate cholesterol levels.

Try it on fruit slices and on flax crackers.


Organic Coconut Mango Persimmon Butter

We’ve combined organic mango, persimmon, pineapple and coconut to bring you a creation filled with the wonder of existence. The mango, pineapple and coconut convey the exuberance of the tropics, and the persimmon – the glow of California’s wondrous fertile Central Valley. Have also added raw cacao, sesame, sundried raisins, agave nectar, organic carob and a dash of Royal Himalayan pink crystal salt.


Desiree Black Sesame Pesto with Sundried Tomatoes

Here's a zesty pesto made from our organic, UNHULLED, black sesame seeds and organic, sundried tomatoes. We've added organic basil, thyme, garlic, cumin, rosemary, cayenne, our Alive Olive Oil and Royal Himalayan Pink Crystal Salt to make it satisfyingly good! Its a symphony of flavors. Use it on carrot and celery sticks and on flax seed crackers for hors d'oeuvres.

Black sesame seed is an excellent source of calcium for those avoiding cow's milk. Used in traditional Chinese medicine to nourish and fortify the liver and kidney yin. Said to help blurred vision, tinnitus, and dizziness. Used traditionally to help patients recover from severe illness. Will nourish blood deficiency in the body, lubricates the intestines and deep internal organs. Helps move the bowel.

 


Alive, Organic Hemp Seed Butter

This butter has a rich, nutty flavor. Try it on carrot and celery sticks.

Hemp Seed Butter is one of nature's richest sources of complete protein (35%) and Omega-3 and Omega-6 Essential Fatty Acids (40%).

Hemp seeds offer a high concentration of omega 6 and omega 3 in a ration of about 3:1. This exceeds the ratio recommended by health authorities and compensates in part for omega-3 deficiencies in the rest of our diet.
