have you been getting them long clive?
Only for the last 120 years Michelle.
Seriously though, I only found out about them myself last weekend when we were out shopping with a health freak. I bought a pack of the dried berries in Julian Graves and picked up a leaflet on them which made lots of fascinating claims. When I looked them up on the the Internet I discovered that they cannot be sold in the UK after March 23rd owing to an EEC directive. I bought a rather large supply from a company called detoxyourworld.com and the use-by date is towards the end of the year. They turned up within 2 days and added a bag of berries for free. I've since learned of a number of other people who believe they are very beneficial. I sprinkle a quantity over my porridge each morning but sometimes also eat a few as a snack. Thet really are very tasty and quite chewy. They have a very distinctive colour (red) and look like very tiny dates. I've only seen good things written about them and the packs I bought from detoxyourworld.com are all labelled "also known as happy berries". I reckon I have a sense of wellbeing since adding them to my diet so I will continue eating them for as long as I can get my hands on them. As for tablets, I would prefer the fruit but I would consider taking them if the real thing was not available.
