Default Re: Synsepalum dulcificum

I'll re-read the chapter and post some notes. The author did interview someone who produces loads of it in America. They also discuss the fact that the sugar industry lobby pushed through legislation to make it impossible to grow as a 'marketable' product in America and only allow small quantities to be sold as 'novelty' items. The berries apparently are only effective for 1-2 days after picking. As I said, I'll re-read and post a bit more later.
