A milk analogue made from raw peanuts is gaining popularity here in
the San Francisco bay area, especially in the local Chinese
community. Like wheatgrass, it has numerous healing testimonials.
It is now being distributed commecially, and can be obtained at
Berkeley Bowl in Berkeley, California.

Aflatoxin is always a concern with peanuts, but the manufacturer
above claims to test for it and reject if the level is above 1 ppb
(FDA limit is 20 ppb).

What I find interesting is how healing stories are quickly creating
a mythology for peanut milk that is similar to wheatgrass.  Of
course, other diets have their mythologies as well, e.g., macrobiotics
makes many of the same healing claims as raw foods.
