I really like the Herbs and Spices. The graphics are beautiful. I plan on trying these out. I too am not diabetic but my A1C is slowly drifting up. I have to watch that. Many of these are totally new to me. Do you have any recommendations where good quality items can be. I like the look of your site. Not crowded, bright and colorful. I like the elbow room.
Thanks David,
For your kind comment. I was looking through Amazon, they have a large stuck of African stuff. Also, if you have an African grocery shop in your city, that’s the best place to look.
