It's packed by Navitas. Chocolate makes me feel really ill and I don't want to just throw it out. If anyone wants it, there's quite a bit in the bag and I'll just charge for shipping from NY.
I also have some black sesame tahini made by the Living Foods Community. It's full except for maybe a tablespoon and I don't like tahini...someone gave it to me to try.
I may also have a mostly gone bag of Navitas maca powder...I like this but got scared when I read that other people weren't ovulating after taking it.

So maca makes you not ovulate? That could be a great natural contraceptive if we could control it somehow...

Hmnnnnnnn.my understanding is that maca regulates the hormonal system....in my experience it makes me ovulate when my timing is off for whatever reason.

Maca is a herb not a food as it is promoted to be. It is great in moderation or taken as a done traditionaly to give stamina when needed or as a HERB to treat hormonial problems among other things.
I do understand why you get freeked out. I would never advise anyone to take it regualy unless it is as a herb to treat a specific problem. It is like ginsing. Would anyone take it unless there is a reason ?
I uses to own a healthfood shop and have done a lot of reading up on herbs a.o. I really dont understand the rawfood buissines. They find somting "fantastic" and promote is like the fountain of youth or somting. Well I would take most of it with a grain of salt and use comon sence.
Read about it before taking the jump, specialy from sources who dont make money on selling and promoting it.
Detoxing, greenfoods, the omegas and vitamine and mineral rich foods are the bedst to help with fertility (oh and a relaxed and positive outlook on life ;) ). Best of luck :)

Maca seems to have taken my ovulation day from day 18 down to day 13 or 14....this is a good thing right?

Speaking of black sesame tahini, I have a new jar, and don't remember why I bought it. I've searched and really can't find recipes for it. And I don't have a dehydrator. :confused:
