We make something similar to this, but I hadn&#39;t thought to use tahini paste--fantastic idea!Fuji Mamahttp://www.lafujimama.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620220818900512579.post-30303842338685135322010-01-31T07:24:29.338-08:002010-01-31T07:24:29.338-08:00Interesting! I&#39;ll ask my Japanese sister-in-law if she has heard of this and if she can hook me up with some! I&#39;m always looking for more alternatives to honey and agave, thanks!Annhttp://healthytastychow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620220818900512579.post-73488994489522861272010-01-25T00:09:53.748-08:002010-01-25T00:09:53.748-08:00This looks delicious and healthy. I love yoghurt with fruits. I read a lot about oligo sugar. We used it to make enzyme drink but sadly can&#39;t get it here. So I always use raw honey or manuka honey which tastes very good too. I love to add flaxseed oil to the yoghurt for added health benefits.MaryMohhttp://www.keeplearningkeepsmiling.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620220818900512579.post-31030573782761919262010-01-24T23:06:33.916-08:002010-01-24T23:06:33.916-08:00I have no idea WHY this boso honey/oligo sugar has no carbs, but that&#39;s what the American required nutrition label says. It does definitely have calories. Lots of &#39;em. It&#39;s very weird. I don&#39;t totally believe in its amazing nutritional status, like my mom does, but it&#39;s sweet, and melts in better than just straight table sugar. That&#39;s enough for me, most days.<br />I like steel cut oats. I just wish I could think far enough ahead to make them. I like the coach&#39;s oats variety of steel cut oats, but I suspect that they&#39;re barely better (or not even) than regular quick oats.Marikohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01110357429393082121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620220818900512579.post-3833352588978402812010-01-24T22:56:00.595-08:002010-01-24T22:56:00.595-08:00hmmm...scientist here.... oligo when used in regard to sugar is just more than one sugar stuck together. And all sugars are carbohydrates. That is the basic definition. And I doubt that the body cannot break it down but probably has something to do with glycemic index like agave....the GIs validity in itself is suspect by some. I&#39;d be interested to know what the japanese honey actually is.<br /><br />Anyway it does look yummy and we have a version in our house with steel cut oats, chopped almonds and raisins. Its always good to have variety. <br />Thanks for the postKarla_Snoreply@blogger.com
