Well on the other day I read a news in a website, saying that there is a good help for the Amazon rainforest and Brazil’s poverty-stricken rural people. The help comes from a native nut from trees growing alongside the Amazon river. Why? because this nut contains a lot of nutritious content. Brazil nuts are a very good food source, and has a geat market in Europe. The demands for brazil nuts are up to 90,000 tonnes. The good thing is that the Brazil nuts trees are just wild, it is very good for local people to make a living from the trees rather than destroying the forest. This is a very good financial income for locals. This is a tree which is over 400 years old can provide for generations and generations.

A type of hard-shelled nut with an oval or round kernel, also known as a filbert. Hazelnuts are high in dietary fibre. Turkey is a major supplier of hazelnuts, along with Spain and Italy, but they do grow wild in the hedgerows around Britain. Cobnuts, which grow in Britain, are a type of hazelnut. You may be able to buy fresh nuts, particularly native cobnuts, still in their husks, but most are sold dried and processed. Use hazelnuts whole, grated or ground to flavour savoury and sweet dishes. Finely ground they can be used in place of flour to make a ‘torte’, or roughly chopped they add crunch to biscuits or meringues. Use them as the basis for a stuffing or simply chop them up with some dried fruits and scatter the mixture on your cereal.
Common Hazel is cultivated for its nuts in commercial orchards in Europe, Turkey, Iran and Caucasus. The name “hazelnut” applies to the nuts of any of the species of the genus Corylus. This hazelnut or cobnut, the kernel of the seed, is edible and used raw or roasted, or ground into a paste. The seed has a thin, dark brown skin which has a bitter flavour and is sometimes removed before cooking. The top producer of hazelnuts, by a large margin, is Turkey, specifically the Ordu Province. Turkish hazelnut production of 625,000 tonnes accounts for approximately 75% of worldwide production. In the United States, hazelnut production is concentrated in two states, Oregon and Washington; however, they are also grown extensively just to the north, in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia, Canada. In 1996 the in-shell production in Oregon was about 19,900 tons (18,000 tonnes) compared to 100 tons (91 tonnes) in Washington. Recent orchard plantings in California are likely to increase production in the USA. The hazelnut is also growing in popularity in the USA with a Hazelnut Council set up to promote its use. The harvesting of hazelnuts is either by hand in rural communities, or by manual or mechanical raking of fallen nuts.

MSM is a naturally-occuring form of dietary sulphur found in fresh raw foods that are involved in the cycle of rain. Our MSM is a raw white crystaline powder. MSM is volatile and destroyed by cooking. This is how MSM lives up to its reputation of building collagen and maintaining healthy joints. This is also why MSM increases flexibility (good for yoga), hastens recovery time from sore muscles, and is excellent for recovery from athletic injuries. MSM makes the tissues more permeable so that they may move nutrients in and toxins out with greater ease. MSM has a remarkable effect at neutralising foreign proteins such as allergens, toxins, parasites, making it anti-inflammatory. MSM has been used effectively to neutralise the foreign proteins in snake venom. MSM is an effective treatment for arthritis and is usually combined with Glucosamine as they work well together. It has been reported that these supplements can reduce the pain, stiffness and tenderness typical of arthritis. MSM promotes the promotion of collagen and is therefore important for wound healing. MSM is also reported to have aided with strengthening hair and nails.
The MSM powder should be stored in a cool, but not cold, dry area, such as on a kitchen shelf. MSM Powder can be used both internally and externally. When applied on the outside of the body it penetrates through the skin (or scalp) very rapidly and improves the health of that area where it is absorbed. MSM is also a “carrier.” It carries other substances along with it as it penetrates through the skin. Thus, MSM is the ideal substance to combine with other nutrients which are intended to be taken directly into the body through the skin. MSM is often referred to as a “penetrant.” It makes the walls of individual cells more “permeable.” This means that the cells can more easily get rid of garbage that is constantly being created inside the cell, and the cell can also absorb nutrients more easily.
