Just received my product and it is similar in colour and texture like everyone else says. The description says wild harvested? Where was this harvested?

This rather small fruit tree grows wild in India and parts of the Middle East. As far as I can ascertain, most, if not all, of the fruit is harvested from trees that are growing in the wild rather than cultivated. I question whether that would make a difference in the nutritional value of the fruit either one way or the other. The people selling this product apparently think that the fact that this product is from "wild-harvested" Indian gooseberries makes them more desirable. Here's to our health!

I had a similar concern two years ago and wrote the company. One of their vets wrote back, that at the time, it is manufactured in the US but includes raw materials from other countries. I got the sense that was some of the vitamin/mineral components and not the meat/vegetable components. Again, it was two years ago as well and that might have changed so you may want to contact the manufacturer to make sure that's still the case.

Well it says on the label this is from mexico. This particular plant originates down south here in the US and I would guess mexico also.I read somewhere that organic is not the important factor with jojoba oil. That organic doesn't say much about quality. More important is unrefined, cold pressed, virgin (first pressed). Haven't bought this brand yet, but based on reviews, it seems like the description from the seller rings true, that its top grade stuff.

Amazon asked me to answer this. Know idea why. All I know is it was a gift to my dad in PA. He loves it. It's been a year and a half and it is fruiting. He keeps it in a pot and brings it in in the winter.

There is nothing on the container to say where it actually was harvested. Other then in the name Ceylon. They have their website on the package indusorganics.com, if you go to the website they say that this product comes from Sri Lanka and Southern India and is not the Cassia form which comes from Indonesia and Vietnam and is no good for you in large amounts.

It's in a resealable silver plastic bag. Mine says "Oyster Bay Spice" "Organic Turmeric 1lb". It does not look like the one on the picture titled Starwest Botanicals and the bar codes etc. It does NOT have the USDA Organic seal Item numbers or bar codes. I feel like it is false advertising and the package looks shady, because of this I will not be consuming this. I bought it from Oyster Bay Spice Company. Can someone please reply to me if this happened to you too. Thanks!

I received mine the same way. I used it anyway. My concern was if the product is fresh or not or how long it will remain fresh.

I got my amalaki from Vadik Herbs, which says "wildcrafted" and "100% natural." Not sure if that is the same as organic, but I took "wildcrafted" to mean not cultivated or treated. Other than that, don't know.

I've never experienced that before! :-o That sounds disgusting! I've ordered it online and bought it from Traders here in CO and fortunately did not have that experience! So sorry, AG!!

In my case it grew into a wild strawberry not black. I have a lot of very fragrant small red berried. I think you right are about the scam! They came directly from the woods as wild as could be.

The herbs listed by Robyn are correct. I am the original lister of this product, Raven Moonlight. I know there are other stores that piggy backed on our product, but Raven Moonlight is only responsible if you order from us not from other sellers. I have no idea what other sellers include in their products. All of our herbs in the sampler are also either organic or wild harvested. I am not sure what other sellers are selling. Also all of our Herbs ARE food and Medical grade so you CAN cook with them if applicable. Once again - I am not sure what other sellers are offering. Thank you!

It comes in a plain brown box, not like picture on web page, and everything looks like it has been repackaged. It looks like it it may be refurbished, or returned and then repackaged. Why would you choose product reshrink wrapped, or placed in bag and then retaped. Had pics with review I wrote of product and they are not on review now. Seems odd... I returned the cardboard box/plastic bag repackaged product and ordered FRESH, SEALED, IN NEVER OPENED NEW PLASTIC PACKAGING.

I have purchased this product for several years and I always recall the package to be green in hue. The last shipment was green in color and the last time I checked at WholeFoods it was also green. Maybe, if yours came in a different package color there might of been an issue with the printing? Is it the same photo and product?

I had to look that up. :) Yes, this is not raw. It has been expanded/exfoliated. At least according to what I read at duper mining site.
