Ayurvedic and INdian supplies Qs and Ysha's access sched

[Guest guest]

Hi Ade;

Yes, Joy lives a few blocks from Chicago " Indian Town " ! Patel Bros

there, and the other big one next door are wonderful resources for

supplies, tho I prefer to get my herbs organic whenever possible. Have

you experienced the Himalyan hand harvested organic honey available in

a few places? I found it in the store next door to Patels (and in

Fairfield), it is a joint venture between a family in Nepal and a

wonderful man in Fairfield, Iowa. Really yummy and well priced too,

the less liquidy one has the bee pollen and royal jelly still in it

too, and is a bit like caramel in smooth consistency.

 

Banyanbotanicals.com is still my favorite for organic medicinal and

some culinary herbs, but they still don't have all the culinaries

available. Saffron tins, what did it cost there? I used to order from

Cherians' in Atlanta area as everything in their huge store comes

direct from India, not thru another carrier (except for flours). The

saffron tins cost me $22 I forget the amount, but huge, nice quality

Spanish.

 

The Indian store here in Boulder, CO on Valmont street sells little

packets of Edible Gum for $5.50, expensive. Worth ordering many of the

supplies by mail when you can't find them locally.

 

I haven't compared Swad, Raja, or other Indian brand names, have to

rely on advice from any Indian community members for that.

 

Lots of old/good friends here, great classes, and now a few days in the

hot springs and wilderness for me! Remember Amy Uma Thompson? SHe is

celebrating her marriage on Sunday in WinterPark, CO, so I " ll head home

probably Tuesday the 8th or Wed. If anyone is wondering, I haven't

been able to access my regular email for 3 weeks now...lots of catching

up time when I get back.

Love,

Ysha
