Thanks for the info.  Know the nice folks (they're local to me) that own the
Gold Mine outfit, and they've always been a principle supplier to
Macrobiotic buffs, so it's interesting that they have a raw item aboard now.

The only trouble I've ever encountered going out to our local vegetarian
club meeting around here is when they meet at a Macrobiotic
restaurant...since the ONLY raw item on their menu is the water!

With the Macrobiotic devotees, the more you can fire something, the
healthier it is!
