Just bought some Palestinian dates today in Sussex in fact. Also I bought some Palestinian organic cotton garments more than 30 years ago when I was in nearby Lebanon.... Lovely quality. Fascinating to hear from Vivien Sansour. The farmer said nobody wants them because they are being pressured by modern proponents of farming...F1s etc. It's great that there is an increased awareness of 'ancient' seeds. Research Dr Shiva Vandana's work, way ahead of the game.
