Greetings!

Try the Twisted Sisters, at <Herbbasket at aol.com> for info. They also
have a web site, but I don't know it off the top of my head. Ask them -
they had a nutrition sheet on it when I picked up my packet.
I have a pack of the herb, dried and chopped fine. It's perfect for me
to have a small sample in my purse to sprinkle in those horrid ice teas
you get at fast food stops, and makes them quite palatable. I also don't
have a reaction to it like I do to saccharin and aspertame (both of
which, if I'm not allergic, my body certainly DOESN'T enjoy in my
system). Hasn't spoiled yet, and I have it stores with my other herbs.
The purse sample is stored in a film container - but, it *does* look a
LOT like another "weed", and one of these days I'll be put in jail!!!
