that's because it's gone through the extra "step"...encapsulating... aka "value added"...
EPO has a lovely taste...kinda seedy, I mean nutty...one of those tastes where the body decides, not the tastebuds...ya know what I mean?
BTW, EPO seeds are TINY!
We have them all over the place...they're cool. New flowers open daily for a few months. I've been sucking on the seeds, too. :D
