What is the most authentic version of Absinthe avaiable in the USA?

See feeverte.net if you do not know what absinthe is, BTW. I know you can order Absinthe from European web sites – but shipping alone costs about $50 US. Are there any other cheaper ways of experiencing it in the states?

There is an ok quality liquor called absente that is similar to absinthe. Pastis evolved from absinthe after the ban and Ricard, Pernod, or Herbsaint pastis can be found in many stores.
Although many absintheurs suggest Arak as a cheap alternative.

Tibet Authentic Goji Berries

Provided herein is information about the false organic status of the Chinese Lycium barbarusold as m being sold as ‘Goji’ and a monograph from the Tanaduk Botanical Research Institute pointing out the difference between these two lycium berries.

We can start with the question regarding Western and Chinese marketers of Lycium barbarum -the wolfberry.  It is being called a “Goji” berry and  false documentation is being provided thereby giving it ”organic status”. This is coming from China and and is being presented to the European Union (EU) regulatory agency for transfer of status. The claim is that it is being passed on to the National Organic Program (NOP) of the USDA for approval. However, so far there is no public record of USDA approval of any wolfberry or goji product. Any certified organic labeling or claim of organic status is being done illegally!

The EU is being presented fraudulent Chinese phyto certificates and agricultural documents for transfer of status to get organic certification through the European agents and then using those documents for transfer status to the NOP and USA organic markets. That document routing trail has been checked and it was discovered that Chinese manufacturers and their food brokers were providing fraudulent documents to get their product into organic markets in the UK & the U.S.

There is no organic certification for Chinese wolfberries – Lycium barbarum -the berry that is incorrectly called Goji, nor is there for any food or botanical coming out of China. Organic certification simply do not exist in China and here is why:

Pesticide Use In China

Nochlorine pesticides are conventionally used in commercial wolfberry cultivation to mitigate destruction of the delicate berries by insects. Since the early 21st century, high levels of pyrethroid insecticide residues (including fenvalerate, and cypermethrin) and fungicide residues (such as triadimenol) have been detected by the United States Food and Drug Administration on imported wolfberries and wolfberry products of Chinese origin, leading to the seizure of these products. Due to the demand for organic products in the West, some Chinese growers are beginning to experiment with integrated pest management and to explore the possibility of obtaining organic certification, something that does not yet exist in China.

Some Western resellers may state that their wolfberries are organically grown when in fact they are not. Wolfberries are now often marketed as Goji berries. The Green Certificate claimed by some wolfberry marketers to be the equivalent of the United States Department of Agriculture’s “USDA Organic”seal is in actuality simply an agricultural training program for China’s rural poor.  China’s Green Food Standard administered by the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture’s China Green Food Development Center, does permit pesticide and herbicide use.

Despite some claims that wolfberries sold in Europe, the United States and Canada meet organic standards, there is no public evidence for standardized organic certification of wolfberries from the regions where they are grown in China.  No organic certification of Lycium berries exits. Any bags of Goji berries labeled with the ingredient Lycium barbarum with organic certified seals such as USDA certified organic are false. Often, these wolfberries are marketed as Tibetan or Himalayan Goji Berries and that is false information. Goji products that list Lycium barbarum as the ingredient are not organic and they are not authentic ‘Gojis’.

The areas where Tibetan Lycium ‘Goji’ berries grow are so remote that no pesticides have ever been used or needed.  www.tibetangoji.ca
