How? By having the best oil - one that is heat-stable, tastes great, and is the highest vegetarian source of Omega 3 essential fatty acids. The plant is called sacha inchi, and at one time was referred to as Inca Gold, as it supported that civilization. OhMega! Oil is being brought to Canada to share its health benefits. Aysana Canada, the brainchild of Bowser resident Marion Blake and her son, who works as an economist for the Harvard International Development Department and lives in Peru, is importing oil extracted from the plant's seeds. You can meet Blake and hear more of the story, as well as try the oil, during her Give the Gift of Health demo at Seeds Natural Food Market in Cumberland (2733A Dunsmuir Ave., next to the old post office building) this Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Call 250-336-0129 for more information.
