Berries, berries, berries. As my pal, the "berry girl," Christine Sardo, M.Ph., R.D., tells it, "The deep color of berries signal their contribution to good health. The powerful synergy of pigments, vitamins, minerals, and fiber in berries, may reduce risk for disease." Hemp is a worthy partner to the berries in taste, appearance, and nutrition. They provide essential fatty and amino acids. Try working with kudzu (or kuzu) as a thickener. Used in Japanese and Chinese cooking, kudzu is soothing to the gastrointestinal tract. Make this nutrient-dense sauce an addition to your next holiday gathering meal!
