- ¼-½ cup uncooked, unfiltered honey, preferably tupelo or black button sage
- 1 ½ cups ground almonds
- 1 ½ cups ground coconut

Peppermint: an herb long known in folk medicine for its properties as a soothing digestive aid
Carob: flavorful, high in minerals, especially calcium; does not interfere with calcium absorption as does chocolate
Gelatin: preferably vegetable; provides better food assimilation; helps approximate natural digestive conditions
Honey: least undesirable sweetener because it has a less unbalancing effect on blood sugar level
Almonds: add crunch and good-quality oil; caution may contain salicylic acid, as does aspirin
Coconut: acceptable source of protein and fat, when not rancid; Dr. Weston Price found it a staple food of the Marquesa Islanders
