We don't add any thing to the powders. Just pick when ripe, dry or 
smoke dry them, then grind (when the rest of the family is out of the 
house).

I would need two hundred illegal workers willing to get paid $10 a 
day to do the picking. It takes me almost three hours to pick 1 
quart! And I have a lot of competition from the birds. There are not 
big movers for me. I grow them every third year.  I continue to grow 
them only because I like them myself. I think I have dumped more then 
I have sold.
