I have bought a raw energy bomb!! and I am wondering about some of the ingredients. What is guarana - apparently it contains natural caffeine!! also what is Korean ginseng and siberian ginseng? and what is rice syrup - can it be raw as the bar claims that it is? there are two bombs in the packet and they claim to give sustained energy with their potent herbs - so they recomend taking one first to gauge sensitivity. the main ingredient is dates and cacao nibs. they taste lovely and I had one before a run and all seems to be well.

Date: February 26, 2008 12:06PM Yes I am sure you are right David. I am at the early stages of my raw life and everything is a bit of an experiment at the moment.
yes these packaged marketed 'things' are probably better avoided for many reasons and given time I'm sure my fascination for all things 'raw' will rationlise into sensible whole foods. thank you for your post - as always I gain a lot from your comments. Re: What is ginseng and guarana?

Date: February 26, 2008 10:03PM Guarana is a very powerfull but natural herb that keeps you awake. 1 teasoon kept me sleepless for a whole night.
Something more mild is yerba mate tea that I use a lot. elnatural Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
