Its lives up to expectation however its pricey for anybody in our communities to consume and even the health and power bars made many still use other sweeteners like fruit concentrates etc.
I check out the websites and if you like this sugar than you can grow it yourself. Even as far north as in the climate of Southern Canada.
I also believe the author of the text quoted is doing the native Indians a disservice. In all likelyhood I wouldnt expect them to depend on this plant like we do with sweets in the West. Eating sweets all day everyday and these indians were blessed with fertile land in South America. There are probably other things in their diet that needs more attention besides what we in the West do with making plantantion and farms to sweeten our lives everyday. Just a school of thought.
