Patzún huipiles are most often a shade of red to represent fire or the sun’s rays. To the Maya, fire represents life and the formation of family. The lavishly embroidered yoke distinguishes the Patzún huipil from all others.  As the Maya were surrounded by nature every day, embroidery of many different leaves, plants, and trees are included. The town’s name, Patzún, meaning Place of Sunflowers, was derived from Maya who speak the Kaqchikel language, and the reason for flowers in the design. Other shapes in the embroidery represent volcanoes, present in Guatemala’s landscape; the Guatemalan former currency, cuartilla; and the broken chains of slavery. The latter symbolizes what has been called the Ten Years of Spring, highlighting the years of representative democracy in Guatemala from 1944 to 1954. The Guatemalan civil war continued after that, from 1960 until 1996. Founded in the 12th century long before Spanish conquest, the town of Patzún was part of the Kaqchikel territory and belonged to the kingdom of Iximché. Today, it is home to about 26,000 people in the Chimaltenango department of Guatemala.

ENGLISH: Florinda learned embroidery from her mother. At age 10, she was already a professional embroiderer and learned to weave. At 22, she started a textiles business, and four years later, married a man who worked in agriculture. Though she hoped to become a mother, she has not been able to have children of her own. Florinda joined a Friendship Bridge Trust Bank and obtained her first loan, which she used to stock up on raw materials for her business. In addition to the loan, Florinda has received trainings on topics including business, women’s rights, health, and family. Currently, Florinda produces cushions, backpacks, and embroidery for sweatshirts.

ESPAÑOL: Florinda aprendió a bordar de su madre. A los 10 años ya era una bordadora profesional y aprendió a tejer. A los 22 años, montó un negocio textil y, cuatro años después, se casó con un hombre que trabajaba en la agricultura. Aunque esperaba ser madre, no ha podido tener hijos propios. Florinda se afilió a Friendship Bridge y obtuvo su primer préstamo, que utilizó para abastecerse de materias primas para su negocio. Además del préstamo, Florinda ha recibido formación sobre temas como negocios, derechos de la mujer, salud y familia. Actualmente, Florinda produce cojines, mochilas y bordados para sudaderas.

Love the new flavor
Size: 1.45 Pound (Pack of 1)
I have been taking Metamucil for years but was interested in something besides the original orange. For some reason the lemon flavored option didn't seem to be as effective. This is the perfect alternative. Love the taste. I have not seen this one in stores yet. Will purchase more.

Tasty and Effective
Size: 1.45 Pound (Pack of 1)
I don't care for the orange flavored fiber at all, but this tastes good. Normally I get unflavored and add crystal light, so this saves me some effort. The only drawback is that I can't concentrate or dilute the fiber per ounce as much, since that changes the flavor. Personally I find 2 teaspoons per 8oz to be the max dilution I can handle, making it not too flavorful to be chugged while still being just flavorful enough to help me overcome the somewhat odd texture of the fiber. It's best to add this to mildly cold water, mix well (I shake it vigorously in a water bottle), and drink immediately. If it's mixed well in cooler water at the right dilution and you don't wait too long to drink it, the fiber is almost unnoticeable. From my doctor and my own knowledge as an evolutionary biologist: For those of you who are just starting fiber, it's important to not start with the full dose. Doing so can shock your digestive system and have the opposite of the intended effect. Ramp up from one teaspoon, taking it daily (best in the evening) adding an additional teaspoon each week until you reach 4 teaspoons (a tablespoon, the recommended dose). When used regularly and correctly, daily fiber can be a life changer. Our gut microbiome is an integral part of our digestive system. It evolved with our species, and we need to feed it what it evolved to eat!

Sweet but good.
Size: 1.45 Pound (Pack of 1)
Make sure to buy flavorless fibers as well and blend together with this one at least 50/50 if not 25/75 since it's very flavorful and very sweet with not so healthy sweeteners.
