Good question... I dunno what is the right answer to your question. I'll do some research and get back to you if I bump into an decent answer. You should email the people at Medifast as they probably could assist you..

Get some figs, they are amazing! It's a hard flavor to explain, it's better if you try them yourself. it's good in a salad, yum yum! ^_^..

I love lemongrass. I like to make cold teas with it. Just pulverize it and pour desired amount of water over it and set in the sun for a while and have it iced or lukewarm. I also love to just munch the grass as it is or in a salad. Yum...

Mrandal,.

Do you have a dressing using the figs or you just cut them up and put them on your salads?? And what kind of salad? very intrigued.....

I went to the Oriental store to get some Chinese broccoli and they have lemongrass. There's also a bunch of leaf vegetables that I can't identify and that aren't labeled, or are labeled only in languages I don't know. (Usually they're labeled in English, Chinese, and Vietnamese, but sometimes the "English" is a transliteration.) Any idea how to identify them? One looks like flower stems of some Allium; is that what it is?..

This is a little bit late for the fig response, as it is slightly too late for the season. You can still find figs, but, they are now a litte more expensive. Figs are wonderful,wonderful, wonderful. They are fruits of the goddess! (In my opinion.).

They can be eaten just as they are, or chopped into salads or pureed into dressings or shakes..

My favorite are the black ones. However, the brown and green are wonderful also...
