Sue, this is an interesting validation from someone who works in the industry. However, I don’t deny that specific supplements can be vital when there are deficiencies. For example, for those of us who sit in closed rooms all day, not getting enough sunshine, Vitamin D drops are important. Older people may need to boost their iron and Vitamin B12. Of course, there’s no magic bullet, no super-quick pill that can replace the real superfoods – the kind you cook and eat with fork and knife. Thanks for the comment!

Yosefa, labneh is what you get when you allow the whey in yoghurt to drip, so that the mass dries out and becomes somewhat more sour. If you’re in Israel, this is a good time to start lavender, rosemary, za’atar, and other sturdy herbs. If you get starts, tender herbs like mint and parsley work too. Otherwise, wait till warmer weather to plant seeds.
