To all Bay Area BōKU® customers & Fans who came out to support us at the 2009 Green Festival in San Francisco!  It was an awesome event!  We met thousands of like minded “green” warriors who came out to find out the latest and the greatest products that are changing this planet for the better and we at BōKU® feel grateful to have been part of this event! My entire family (husband Reno, Son Reno Jr. & daughter Ryann) worked the booth along with Jay, giving out thousands of samples of BōKU® Super food and the response was amazing!  Look forward to the next one!

Yield: approximately 30-35 pieces

Ingredients:

15 plump, moist, pitted medjool dates

2 cups raw, unsalted macadamia nuts

¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

1/3 cup cocoa powder

¼ cup Boku

¼ teaspoon ground cardamom

½ teaspoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon raw honey or agave nectar

1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract

¼ cup finely chopped candied ginger (dried apricots or golden raisins are good, too)

Shredded unsweetened coconut, cocoa powder or sesame seeds for coating – approx 12 cup of any.

Directions:

Process the macadamia nuts with the sea salt until fine in a processor fitted with the steel blade – take care not  to process to a paste. Add dates and process to combine well. Add cocoa powder, Boku, cardamom, cinnamon, honey or agave and vanilla. Process until a uniform mixture. Add in the ginger and pulse until just combined – nice to leave pieces for texture.

Turn mixture into a bowl. Form small bonbons (1/2 oz. size is perfect) by squeezing and rolling the mixture between your palms. Roll bonbons in the coconut, cocoa or sesame seeds to coat. Bonbons keep well one week refrigerated (great cold!), freeze up to three months.

Yummy!

Thanks Heidi!

This is a book that the BōKU® team can really get on board with! 

Michael Pollan’s 2008 book In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto was his follow up to 2006’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals. The latter remaining #1 on the New York Times Non-Fiction Bestseller List for an astounding six weeks!
That likely means that many people are interested in what Pollan is writing about: the need for people to eat real food

Pollan asserts why food itself needs defending:

“Because most of what we’re consuming today is not food, and how we’re consuming it — in the car, in front of the TV, and increasingly alone — is not really eating. Instead of food, we’re consuming “edible foodlike substances” — no longer the products of nature but of food science. Many of them come packaged with health claims that should be our first clue they are anything but healthy. In the so-called Western diet, food has been replaced by nutrients, and common sense by confusion. The result is what Michael Pollan calls the American paradox: The more we worry about nutrition, the less healthy we seem to become.”

This is definitely a message that needs to be spread far and wide to help change people’s minds about what is actually food, and what isn’t. This is how we can become as healthy as possible.

In Defense of Food can be found at any local brick and mortar or online bookstore and in many libraries.  If you’d just like to learn more about Michael Pollan, his books or to see his ongoing public speaking schedule visit:
