OT Moira:Re: Elderberry / elder extract

[Guest guest]

Do any of your references mention anything about the Lingonberry? If

so, what is the name of your reference? (i.e. Rodales or any other)

Much thanks!

Dear ,

well, um, I'm not actually going to look in ALL my herb books!

(Okay, I don't have a whole library full, but it is more than

a few....)

<pause while looking in books>

Gee, I guess I shouldn't joke about it.

I tried 4 books on medicinal plants & foods-- no reference.

Then I tried a book on Chinese medicine, and a herb book that

is largely Chinese herbs-- no reference.

Then I tried a gardening book about growing fruits, nuts, and

berries. No reference.

Then I tried a book on fresh produce (I think it has a few

more " exotic " fruits)-- no reference.

Then I tried a book on wild foods. No reference.

I gvie up.

This is obviously not a good area to direct obsessive energy!

I'll be looking in books all day

<pause while looking on web>

On the other hand, a web search gets about 4,000 references

to " lingonberry " and takes only about 1 minute. Here you go:

http://www.google.com/search?q=lingonberry

I guess I should have given up on the books sooner!
