Were told by the naturopath to also eat apple seeds. The body uses that trace of bitterness to fight off disease.

The peddlars skew them in a stick then, coat them with sugar syrup I think. Btw, the loquat seeds look like they didn't expand. The same size as before. But you take them after they mellowed right? Will the seed turn soft after the 'mellowing' process? sorry so many questions he he... I find it rather interesting ;-)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05867061279916535777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570121524012289667.post-88243749913438102452011-07-11T13:09:22.923+09:002011-07-11T13:09:22.923+09:00Absolutely beautiful the way you've captured t...Absolutely beautiful the way you've captured the light in the butterfly's wings.
