Dried Mulberries, tasty treat…
As you have probably read in past posts, you know I’m a fairly strict vegan. I got started eating vegeterian over a year and a half ago before switching to vegan about six months or so ago. I did this primarily to lose all my, well, ‘sitting in front of a computer all day’ weight. Over this time, I lost about 90lb and can finally say I look thin for probably the second time of my life (first being when I was really young). And really, I quite well enjoy eating the way I do as it’s another step to making myself different from everyone else, which has been something I’ve done all my life.
So anyway, besides fitting into the ‘standard’ vegan profile of not eating any animal products, I also tend to avoid most heavily processed foods and prefer that the food is certified organic. I still eat some stuff that comes in a box, but I make sure the ingredient list is as small as possible which will tend to let you know how processed the food is. So while shopping at the local health food store, I stumbled across a really nice snack. It’s a small package of dried organic mulberries made by Kopali. I’ve never had a mulberry before, but I must say they’re quite tasty. And they’re packed full of nutrients compared to your standard raisin. They even make the list of the 15 most healthy berries. So go out there and try some dried mulberries, even if you’re a cheese pizza loving geek. It may help you later on.
