UNHULLED Tahini
Our UNHULLED tahini is made from the whole sesame seed. It is more nutritionally rich than tahini made from hulled sesame seeds. Since hulled tahini does not use the whole sesame seed, it does not contain as much calcium protein,and vitamins as UNHULLED seeds. Unhulled seeds tend to be more bitter, so we've added Alive, Organic Brazilian Honey. We've also added our Living Tree Alive Olive Oil - unfiltered, unheated, UNPRESSED to help with spreadability. Sesame seeds are rich in manganese, copper, vitamin B1, and vitamin E and calcium (3 times more than milk!). Sesame oils have the highest anti-oxidant content among edible plant oils, and contain lignans, which are phytoestrogens with antioxidant and anti-cancer properties, as well as
phytosterols, which aid reducing levels of blood cholesterol. While tahini is most often made from hulled, roasted sesame seeds, ours is made from raw, UNHULLED sesame, keeping its aliveness and goodness intact.
John Muir Organic Trail Mix
We have created a organic mix of nuts, dried fruit, and edible seeds to honor John Muir, one of America's great prophets and seers.
The John Muir Trail in Yosemite National Park passes along a succession of alpine meadows watered by the Tuolumne River and bordered by mountain ranges. To walk on this majestic trail is to gain an intimation of what we can be.
Ingredients: Organic almonds, organic cashews, organic walnuts, organic pecans ,organic pinenuts. organic pumpkin seeds, organic sunflower seeds, organic cacao nibs, organic sun dried raisins and organic sun dried tomato slices.
Freedom Butter
We invite you to open a jar and spread our alive almond butter on a slice of apple. Experience its texture and savor its aroma. Taste its whole bodied flavor. Maybe it will inspire you with the wisdom of John Muir, America's wilderness advocate, the courage of Martin Luther King Jr., American prophet and the genius of Steve Wozniak, inventor of the PC. We invite you then to partake of the ethos of Berkeley.
Here in the sixties,the Free Speech movement began. When circumstances require, you'll speak up again.
Freedom Butter is an intimation of what you can be.
The Almonds from my Co-op are supposed to be raw ,but when I sprout them,the water turns slimy and foul!
A woman phoned in, despondent. It is so tragic that Corporate Almond fumigated her almonds. What is happening to the soul of this America when the most life giving of foods is sterilized with a disinfectant!
At Living Tree Community we invite you to taste our almonds and compare. After all, you are more sensitive than any scientific instrument. Our almonds are grown by family farmers, the true husbandmen of their soil,plants and animals. We've been distributing their almonds for over 25 years. They are grown in the rich,alluvial soil of California's Central Valley. We invite you to experience their crisp freshness and aliveness. These are Nonpareil almonds-a variety that is the standard of excellence.

Living Tree Essay Contest
Obesity is an American tragedy.In a Washington Post article of May 17th we find:-
An epidemic of obesity is compromising the lives of millions of American children, with burgeoning problems that reveal how much more vulnerable young bodies are to the toxic effects of fat.
In ways only beginning to be understood, being overweight at a young age appears to be far more destructive to well-being than adding excess pounds later in life. Virtually every major organ is at risk. The greater damage is probably irreversible.
Doctors are seeing confirmation of this daily: boys and girls in elementary school suffering from high blood pressure, high cholesterol and painful joint conditions; a soaring incidence of type 2 diabetes, once a rarity in pediatricians' offices; even a spike in child gallstones, also once a singularly adult affliction.With one in three children in this country overweight or worse, the future health and productivity of an entire generation -- and a nation -- could be in jeopardy.
At Living Tree Community we believe that there is a an organic solution to this terrible affliction. Namely parsley,lettuce,kale,spinach and celery! Imagine, furthermore, that the kids were growing it themselves! We invite you to write an essay on Live Foods and Obesity. The best three will receive a jar of Alive Almond butter,16oz,Alive Cashew Butter,Dream of Paradise,Desiree,Black Sesame Pesto and Walnut Tahini. Send your essays to jesse@livingtreecommunity.com.
Bring your vision out of the kitchen!
We urge you to get together with neighbors and friends and start a food coop or buying club. Combine your purchasing power! Buy in bulk! You'll save considerably, both on the cost of goods and on shipping. We'd be delighted to offer you wholesale prices. Contact us to request that we email to you our Coop and Buying Club literature. What wonderful discoveries you'll make! That stay-at-home mom would make an excellent manager. That retired gentleman across the way, a former accountant, would be a great bookkeeper! Put up a sign in the laundromat and see what sort of response you get! Maybe this will lead you to a further discovery- that the true "superfoods", "miracle foods" and "magic foods" are the parsley,lettuce,celery,spinach and chard,that you've grown with neighbors and friends in a community garden. Corporate Almond wants you to remain a "consumer" whose existence is defined solely by your purchasing power. We suggest that you hug your neighbor instead.
What's on the World Mind-
Why You Simply Can't Believe That Cell Phones Are Safe by Dr. Mercola
We feel privileged to bring you this important article br Dr.Mercola:-
I hope that it will take us less than thirty years to recognize the major danger resulting from exposure to the explosion of information carrying radio waves around us -- especially from cell phones, but also from WiFi, WiMax, BlueTooth, and other wireless devices. But I am not hopeful as the telecommunications industry is even more powerful than the drug industry, and they simply do not want this information widely known.
Unless you live in some unbelievably remote location, the odds are you're being bombarded with radio waves that can devastate your body.
The shoe fluoroscopes emitted ionizing radiation but exposure to them was relatively infrequent; only a few times a year. This is quite unlike your exposure to information carrying radio waves where you are likely receiving exposure 24-7.
Why Your Cell Phones Are Dangerous
Let me be VERY clear. The danger from most land-based portable phones, cell phones and WiFi routers is not from the magnetic radiation or the microwave carrier wave from which typical SAR ratings are given on phones. Unless you have massive exposures like you might expect in a microwave oven, these thermal effects are insignificant.
Nearly all the biological damage comes from the modulated signals that are carried ON the carrier microwave. These modulated information carrying radio waves resonate in biological frequencies of a few to a few hundred cycles per second, and can stimulate your cellular receptors causing a whole cascade of pathological consequences that can culminate in fatigue, anxiety and ultimately cancers.
This is a MAJOR problem because in the last few years we have had an exponential increase in exposure to these waves. It took from 1984 to 2004 to reach the first billion cell phones, the second billion took just 18 months, the third billion took only nine months and the fourth billion just six months.
And this does not at all factor in your major exposure to WiFi routers (wireless internet), which are now pervasive. Since there is a lag time of five to 20 years before many of these effects become clinically apparent, now is the time to act before you or your family suffer the damage.
