Does increase milk supply
|
This really helped to increase my milk supply. The taste wasn't so great for me, kind of a black licorice flavor but you get used to it. Also, it changes your body odor (might sound strange), but it makes it sweet smelling---kind of like maple syrup. One thing I did not like though was that it increased my appetite. I mean DRASTICALLY increased my appetite. I believe fenugreek was the culprit for the appetite increase, and I am positive it was for the body odor change. Anyway, I used this tea for about 8 months, worked pretty well for its main purpose of milk production.

One bad packet ruins the product!
|
I should have stayed with Idahoan brand. Poor Betty is on her last legs, rolling downhill into oblivion!I've used several brands of potato flakes and found them very good. But not Betty's brand. The finished product tastes stale. Bland, unpleasant, not worth continuing eating---but the worst part is STALE. I am totally ashamed of Amazon for offrering these packets. My advice to any customer looking for good mashed potato flakes: Move on to Idahoan or another brand and leave poor Betty by the wayside.Where these packets should have been left. Alone. Ignored. Skipped over. By the way, I didn't like them!

CAULIFLOWER PASTA!?
|
As the pasta cooked, I read the box to see what makes this "smmmile, it'sveggie pasta & cheese." Cauliflower pasta? I'd never heard of such a thing. What a good idea! (The dinner, on the whole, has two grams fewer of carbohydrates, at 47g carbohydrate, 7g sugar. I was hoping that this would be a good alternative for a diabetic friend, but it won't be.)My only deviation from the recipe on the box was using 1% milk. I didn't doctor it with extra ingredients or by adding vegetables, because I wanted to taste what it tasted like on its own.It tasted like Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, the stuff that my mom occasionally fed us when we were kids. The pasta was soft but not mushy. The cheese concoction tastes the same as the standard.Not as good as my friend Meem's homemade - it's not even the same category - but DEFINITELY better than adequate as a comfort food from one's childhood.The other member of my household agreed on all points, including, since "sneaking" vegetables in our household was never an issue, that this would taste even yummier with fresh broccoli or cauliflower in it.More Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, please?

Tasty and inexpensive
|
I really like this cereal. The flavor is slightly nutty and it doesn't get soggy quickly in almond milk. It reminds me of Honey Smacks without any sugar. My favorite way to eat it is with some chopped raw almonds, flax seeds and a touch of agave nectar.

I'm Confused
|
The label on the bowl says 35 grams is in the bowl and that it is 110 calories, but when I weighed it myself on my food scale it weighed almost twice that! I'm confused, does the whole bowl really contain 110 calories? I really want to know can someone help?

Flat
|
Doesn't taste like ginger. Thought it would save me having to grate ginger - but is disappointingly flat in flavor. In fact, it has a kind off flavor. Wouldn't buy it again.

Return of Zico tetra pak
|
I have been an avid coconut water drinker for the past year and a half and I have tried almost all the brands available: ONE, VitaCoco, Amy and Bryan, Nature Factor, original Zico, and re-release Zico Tetra Pak, and Naked coconut water.I would like to say the original Zico was the best tasting of all of them however they changed to the plastic bottles earlier this year which received a large number of negative reviews from people who loved the original Zico thus I avoided but now have brought back the Tetra pak.This version they brought back unfortunately does not taste like the original Zico. Some of you might think that since it's been sometime, perhaps you don't remember what the original taste like. Well, I would say that I have purchase 12 cartons of their original Tetra pak and drink 1 or 2 a day so I definitely remember what the original taste like. The flavor is a bit more tart and now tastes closer to VitaCoco which is the most tart of all the brands something that I just do not like.I would purchase in the following order:1. ONE - Amazon still is out of stock and hoping they come back in stock, this is best tasting one since the original Zico is no longer made.2. Naked Juice - I like the subtle taste and though does not have quite the coconut flavor as ONE, it doesn't taste tart which is what I don't like.3. Zico - It just tastes more tart4. VitaCoco - Not a fan of tart coconut water5 Amy and Bryan and Nature Factor taste way too sweet for me.Zico had the best tasting coconut and that was a consensus if you look at earlier reviews. I would have continued to purchase their product indefinitely even though they tend to cost a bit more than the other brands but they destroyed any good will they had by stopping production of the original Zico tetra pak and thinking consumers like us would settle for that concentrate stuff, shame on them.

Tastes fine
|
This has a mild taste and caffeine that is agreeable and light. It doesn't really seem to curb my appetite or burn fat.

Horrible stuff
|
Th3is is the polar opposite of Sleepytime tea. I had one cup last night, and I laid in bed and didn't fall asleep till well after midnight, and then kept waking up every few minutes after that. Worst sleep I have gotten in my entire life! I'm going back to Sleepytime tea. At least that stuff works.

Just plain old Decaf
|
I tried these with my JV/Melita Pod unit and they produced bland, unexceptional coffee. Considering they cost the equivalent of about $20 a pound, you might expect more, but it is just ordinary java.

Zero stars
|
Looking at the ingredients, this has zero pumpkin in it. That is why it's called 'pumpkin style'. It's basically just sugar and preservatives. Addendum: Its now 2008 and I noticed that the ingredient list that used to be available is no longer available...hmm...hiding something???

Misleading...

UPDATE INFO AS OF 1/29/2014List Price: $20.94Price: $4.91 ($0.02 / oz)You Save: $16.03 (77%)$0.02 an oz for 16oz in a pound will be only $0.32 a bag not $4.91 as claimed by the seller. Flax seeds sells never sells for $20.94 a bag as claimed by the seller. It seems that the seller keeps changing the sale numbers in order to sell a product. Arrowhead is an excellent brand with many great organic products where others fail to produce in organic form but this approach is just misleading and not necessary at all.*****************************************************************************************************************************ORIGINAL REVIEW 10/11/2013Seller claims;List Price: $40.61Price: $8.24 ($0.04/oz) & FREE Shipping on orders over $25You Save: $32.37 (80%)That is misleading. No flax sells for $40 a pound. At $8.24 a pound it is 824/16=51.5 infact something like more than $0.51 cents an oz not $0.04 an oz. Arrowhead is a good brand but the seller is misrepresenting the facts.*****************************************************************************************************************************MISLEADING LABELING: sprinkle a tablespoon of ground seeds... 14oz not 16 oz since it is golden not brown.It is shame that Arrowhead with so many fine organic products will misguide consumers just to sell a product. In the beginning there was only one color flax which was brown but now there is golden as well. Usually in organic form except in supplement form, the farmer co-up flax or any type of seeds are always more expensive due to their practices which is not sold on Amazon at all. Brown and golden have the same nutritional value so I never consume one, I mix brown and golden regardless. In some cases Golden is more expensive than brown. If not specified on the labeling the type of flax, then it means brown flax not golden flax.OILS: I started consuming flax oil years ago per my physician's advise not knowing that majority forms of flaxseeds are rancid and absolutely worthless due to oil in seeds. As whole, human body cannot digest any seed that size with that consistency regardless if it is flax, sesame, amaranth, chia, millet, etc. unless cooked or in ground form since human body cannot digest in its natural form. As SUPPLEMENT, TABLET FORM, OIL, POWDER, GROUND IN BAGS are all worthless and hardly offer any nutrients unless; seeds are fresh, not old which means rancid, not in oil form, not in supplement form, not hulled, ground and consumed within few days, kept in dark cold temperatures, away from light-sun-moisture since the oil in seeds and nuts go rancid regardless. Rancid is a process of Mother Nature and has nothing to do with organic, conventional, GMO or the type of seed. Advising consumers to purchase different brands of flax in oil form or powder or tablet form are all marketing tools as well. It is not important even if the oil or the tablet or the powder in bags are even frozen at the time of production till you consume since any seed, and I mean any type of seed regardless of the type or brand will go rancid once ground and cracked open since the shell, the protection is removed and air will get to the oil of the seed much quicker than when the seed is in a complete un-hulled form. The best example of rancidity is brown rice. Place some in freezer and you will notice in few months it will not even cook since the oils have gone rancid even if you keep the rice in a sealed container, wrapped in the most elaborate sealing containers in the world regardless. Chia is the only seed that claims it does not need to be ground but that is a marketing tool just like the price of chia is since it comes from outside US and individuals without any knowledge about nutrition always associate those as superior for exotic reasons and pay a hefty price for a food item with less nutrients. I ground in my coffee grinder sesame, flax, chia, amaranth, hemp then add cocoa, isolate protein, soy milk and consume it before my workouts on daily basis for its vitamins, minerals, protein and many nutrients, without much spike in my glucose. Un-hulled seeds are full of nutrients. I never consume hulled seeds which are empty calories, absolutely worthless since the nutrients have been removed. After many years of consuming seeds, I chose to ground all seeds myself and seal immediately, kept in freezer and consumed within few days which I am very happy with the results since after all looking fit and well is just result of training hard and living a healthy lifestyle which surrounds any professional athlete or a happy individual involved in many sport activities regardless.OMEGA 3: You will never see ALA on any fish you purchase. Infact you will never see ALA on any fish oil supplement either, you will only see EPA and DHA. ALA is not the same as EPA or DHA and it is the same for any brand of flax seed regardless if such flax seed oil is in solid oil form in a bottle or a capsule form. Greens, nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables do not offer any omega-3 since omega-3 EPA/DHA is an animal source. Flaxseeds offer more ALA than chia, 22.8gr vs. 17.8gr. There are two major types of omega-3 fatty acids in our diets: One type is alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is found in plants the other type, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), is found in fatty fish. The body partially converts ALA to EPA and DHA. There is no proof what percent of ALA gets converted by human body to EPA or DHA. You can consume all ALAs that you want and depending to your genes it may never turn any into omega-3. Blood test is the only way to see the affects. I get omega 3 from sardines although flaxseeds are important part of my diet since flax offers so many different nutrients.FIBER: Fiber is essential for body since fiber absorbs the unwanted liquid in the gut and body has to defecate that blown up fiber which in return lowers cholesterol, blood pressure, etc. and brings comfort and efficiency to human body unlike fat which stays in human body unless needed for energy. Flax is high in fiber.MINERALS: Flax is the king of nutrients when it comes to minerals so important to me as a whole delicious seed; highest ALA, highest magnesium, highest potassium, calcium with the healthiest fat.Accordingly for 100gr servings size of;SESAME__FLAX__CHIA__AMARANTH__QUINOA__HEMP__PISTACHIO__ALMOND__CASHEWCALORIES565__534__490__371__368__567__557__575__553SAT FAT34__18__16__7__4__17__27__19__39CALCIUM99__26__63__16__5__0__11__26__4MAGNESIUM89__98__0__62__49__167__30__67__73POTASSIUM14__23__5__15__16__167__29__20__19ZINC48__29__23__19__21__83__15__21__39FIBER47__109__151__8__11__4 __41__49__13PHYTOSTEROLS714__0__0__0__0__N/A__214__0__0FRESHNESS: Fresh means nutritious and delicious. I consume lots of seeds, beans, grains, vegetables, etc. and freshness is a priority regardless of the brand so I always purchase my food ingredients in small quantities from reputable sellers with high turnover. When fresh, food is nutritious and that goes for any food in any form, from frozen to canned. Fresh food is nutritious as well as delicious since nutrients give food its delicious taste. When old or rancid, nutrients are gone and any food item becomes an empty calories with no taste and absolutely worthless regardless of the brand or price, organic or conventional.FAT: The most important hormone, and the one that's crucial for weight loss, is insulin. Insulin is the hormone that controls fat storage. A high-carb diet increases the amount of glucose in the bloodstream, which in turn means you produce more insulin. The more insulin the body produces, the more fat gets stored. A low-carb diet means less insulin, making it easier to lose weight because less fat is then stored. For intake of a massive 5,000 calories every day for three weeks with calories from a low-fat, high-carb diet; and for another three weeks with calories from more fat no carbs with exactly the same amount of calories, with moderate exercise regimen each time; low-fat diet stacked on 16 lb with 3.7" (9.5 cm) around the middle where the high fat diet offered a loss of 2.5 lb and loss of 1"(2.5 cm) from waistline. If calorie is calorie, then in my case and my experience shows that I would prefer to get my calories from a healthy fat from sesame seed and almond than the calories from the carbs in chia. Almonds have the highest fat calories from all the seeds and nuts, a priority to me in type of calories since I am kind of vegan who consumes fish but hardly any meat, chicken, pork or dairy.Accordingly for 28gr/1oz servings size of;Amaranth__quinoa__flax__peanut__almonds__chia__sesame__sunflower__cashew__pistachioTOTAL CALORIES28.6__33.6__ 150__166__161__137__160__162__155__156CALORIES FROM CARBS21.2__23.6__33__28.9__24.6__50__26.8__31.2__34.4__31.8CALORIES FROM FAT3.7__4.8__98.8__121__116__72.1__116__112__103__104CALORIES FROM PROTEIN3.7__4.9__17.8__16.8__20.6__15.2__17.2__19.1__17.7__20For almost the same total calories sesame offers half of chia's "CARB CALORIES" gain but 50% more "FAT CALORIES" with high amount of nutrients for weight loss. Sesame, flax and hemp are my superfood but almonds are the superfood when it comes to vitamin E. Americans consume enough peanut butter each year to coat the floor of the Grand Canyon, priced for 1/3 but hardly with any nutrients except B-complex. No wonder Burma is the highest producer of sesame in the world. But none of those kings offer ALA and not only flax's high ALA is needed but it balances the omega-6 which is so worthless and abandoned in all foods that not healthy at all. Flax only in powder form, ground freshly.

OK Product

I like other styles of Mae Ploy curry paste, but the green just doesn't work for me. Overwhelming garlic, no heat, and very bland. I would not purchase this product again.

Sticky gummy bland mess
|
I am a big fan of Knorr broth and sauce mixes and use them frequently not only because of their great flavors, but also their lower sodium content. So I decided to give the Mushroom Rice Sides and the Asian Chicken Fried Rice Sides a try. What a huge disappointment! Not only are they sticky and gummy texture-wise, they are virtually tasteless. Could not detect any mushroom flavor at all. Tried both the stove top and microwave directions, and got the same poor results. Then tried adding broth mix, various herbs, onions, etc., all to no avail. The remaining nine packages of each of these are packed up for delivery to the local Food Bank.

INGREDIENTS

This is an attractive item; however, I am disappointed that the Start Smart has partially hydrogenated oil in it, and therefore will have to forego this nice convience product.Also, it would be nice to see the nutritional breakdown, i.e., calories, fiber, carbohydrates, fat, et cetera.

Better than I expected
|
The thinkThin Chocolate Fudge flavored bar has a decent texture and an okay flavor.I found the texture to be better than most of this type of bar on the market, unlike most it is not too dry or crunchy; plus you do not need a large glass of liquid such as water or milk to get it down. visually the bar could be a little bit more appealingbut that is possibly because it went through the mail. Would I buy these as a meal replacement? Maybe I would have to try a couple more of the flavors to really decide.

Got a whole case, forced myself to finish one
|
This is by far the worst tasting canned drink (energy or just regular soft drink) of any sort that I have ever had. The taste can only be described as like cherry cough medicine with all of the medicinal taste pushed to the front. I took a big swig to start with and was shocked at how bad it was. I followed up with another tentative taste to confirm it really was so horrible and then I asked my wife to try it and see what the flavor was. She took a small taste, grimaced and said, "Robitussin."On the positive side, I drank it on Easter morning so I would stay awake during the sunrise service and then drive for an hour to go to a family get-together and it did keep me awake.

Should Be Renamed Yucky Mac!
|
I am a long time lover of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese (the blue box please). I have tried many different brands of microwavable macaroni and cheese and most are barely edible. The Kraft Easy Mac falls into the barely edible category, just barely!You receive 18 pouches with this product. THESE ARE NOT the Easy Mac bowls like you see in the stores. These are packets that you have to open, pour into a bowl, and measure and add your own liquid to. Like all Kraft Easy Mac, the best thing about this product is that it's quick and easy to prepare, in fact, that's the only thing I like about this product.The taste is NOTHING like Kraft Macaroni and Cheese in the blue box. This has a powdery, blah taste to it. The cheese is not strong enough to taste cheesy, but too strong to taste plain, so it has sort of a milk that thickened consistency and taste and is just disgusting. The noodles have that slimy, clumpy appearance that many microwavable noodle products suffer from. It's not the worst microwavable macaroni and cheese I've ever eaten, but it's certainly not something I will buy again in the future.

really is cheesy.
|
i was a bit skeptical at first but it's a wonderful addition to eggs, chowders, anyplace you want a cheesy flavor that tastes like cheese and not a chemical. plus it is not salty. it's a true cheese flavor. this is a must have in my kitchen. just adding this: you can mix it with a buttery spread for a new twist on garlic bread, bake it in the oven for a few minutes, bread wrapped in foil at 350. my company could not get enough. i'm sure i'll come up with more uses. stay tuned.

Annie's Homegrown Organic Whole Wheat Shells & White Cheddar Macaroni & Cheese - 6 oz.
|
This product is made by Annie's Inc. in Berkely, CA--made in the USA. The product maintains excellent organic integrity, and it is stored in 100% recycled paperboard packaging.The manufacturers also support family farms - use organic milk, butter, and yogurt. The product takes approximately 10 min. to prepare. The product contains dairy and wheat, and it has been exposed to equipment that also processes egg and soy products.The ingredients include organic whole wheat shell pasta, organic valley organic cheddar cheese (organic cultured pasteurized milk, salt, non-animal enzymes), organic whey, salt, and sodium phosphate.This is a mildly flavored whole wheat macaroni & cheese dinner. This mac and cheese is a wonderful comfort food. The pasta is firm, and it has an excellent flavor.There are no artificial flavors, synthetics colors, or preservatives. The pasta was produced without antibiotics, synthetic hormones, or persistent pesticides.This pasta is simple to make and it has a wonderful texture. There are 2.5 servings per box (2.5 oz). Each serving contains 250 cal., 4.5 g fat, sat. 2 g fat, 10 mg cholest., 570 mg sodium, 43 g carb., 5 g fiber, 6 g sugars, 9 g protein.However, the cheese envelop is not exactly sufficient even when you add the butter, milk, or yogurt. To add that wonderful rich smooth cheese flavor that accompanies mac and cheese, you will have to add your own organic cheese.The cheese packet falls flat on flavor and it does not contain a sufficient amount to coat the pasta. I give this mac and cheese a 5/5 on packaging, 5/5 for maintain organic integrity, 5/5 on texture, and a 2/5 for flavor.

Very good bread

I haven't eaten a pice of bread in so long, I dream about it. This is pretty good bread, very good texture, moist and as I eat each slice I think about ways I could change the bread with cinnamon and raisins for breakfast, and so on. Very Good!!

Compared to Natural Valley protein bars (Peanut, Almond, Dark Chocolate, specifically), the texture is much less nutty, and more like bark. Too little chocolate flavor.

Too clumpy
|
The ones you have from Hoosier Hill Farms are much better. This one tends to clump up too much. It is a pain in the but havingto keep breaking up the hard clumps before I can sprinkle it on my spaghetti. It taste good, it just clumps too much.

No better nor worse than traditional box macaroni from Kraft
|
This product compares perfectly with traditional Kraft macaroni and cheese in a box with cheese dust that reconstitutes with liquid. For that product, it is okay--Kraft has always made the best version. However, it certainly does not taste as good as the Kraft pasta products that use cheese sauce packed in a foil pouch.

difficult to assess
|
It's difficult to assess the healthful qualities or lack thereof because a Vine sticker was placed over the ingredient list. I would describe the chocolate flavor as "robust," rather than "delicious." A friend tasting with me thought she detected a chalky aftertaste but I did not notice it. The sweetening agent is maltitol, an alcohol sugar (sorbitol is another popular one) which causes some individuals, myself included, stomach distress and/or diarrhea. On the plus side, the bar is gluten free, has 20 grams of protein and clocks in at a modest 240 calories. I would say if you are gluten challenged and can tolerate the maltitol (some can) this would be satisfactory as a snack bar.On the other hand, if you find yourself racing for the bathroom, you might want to rethink your relationship with maltitol.

average...KONA 100%?????

If you think your going to get that awesome full flavor and aroma you bought in a coffee shop in Kona forget it. If you add the cost of this stuff(Hawaii Rosters) you can do better. It's just OK and is not worth the price IMO.

I remembered liking this soup, and ordered a case. I don't know if they changed the recipe, or if there was a problem with the order, but this is...bleech...gummy....bland. Fortunately the dog will eat it mixed with her dry food, so not a total waste.

It's PRIME-arily Lobster
|
if it's primarily made from lobster, what else is in there? I wonder. Primarily...Who uses a word like that on a food label? It's primarily delicious among other things, things we usually have no energy to talk about after eating a fine meal. I'm so full of primarily lobster bisque that I've been making and have come to be addicted to. NO! I will not share the recipe, because I am too full and don't feel like it. Primarily.

It's neither good nor bad.

I don't taste the Peppermint in this box, and neither does my wife. It dosen't taste very good, kind of like a mixture of green and grey teas, mixed with something slightly minty. The peppermint tea from Celestial Seasonings blows this mixture out of the water. After tasting 2 tea bags, we are worried what we will do with 6 more boxes of this "stuff". We are very sad.

Definitely Not For Me or My Spouse
|
I was under the impression I was getting a box of 15 bars at least there was nothing otherwise that would indicate something less. I received one bar on a hot Saturday afternoon delivered by the Post office. The bar was soft and we had to refrigerate it for several minutes before we could taste it. The first taste was enough to appreciate the fact we only received one bar of the Think This Chocolate Fudge Bar. There is a slightly bitter taste plus there is a lingering dryness that will take a while to disappear. While the bar touts only 20g of protein and zero sugar, I think we will opt for a High Protein Bar that has more flavor and less of the after lingering effects. I just ate a Hershey bar and now the original taste is gone. By doing so I messed up terribly the sugar and protein count for today.The bar states that the mission of thinkThin is to positivity impact the lives and wellness of others and to lead in changing the endemic destruction of weight and poor nutrition related diseases in our country. I am afraid the maker has gotten somewhat carried away in his/her ambitious mission statement. I may never buy a protein bar again. Sorry! I do agree that you would probably lose weight since after the first bite I wanted nothing else to eat.By the way the bar does not hold up to the very hot heat outside here in Texas however In have to fault the Post office for part of this since the delivery was made in the late afternoon thus that little bar has been on that truck all day.

Put Wicks in Them
|
I recently ordered some of Meiji's limited-edition chocolate bars online and it occurred to me that perhaps Amazon carried them for less (they don't, at all). My quest led me to this product which not only looked interesting but had garnered reviewer raves as well. Today's errands took me past a Japanese grocery, so I made it a point to have a look for it (it's apparently a popular impulse purchase because it was displayed next to the cash register).Given the positive reviews, I had high hopes. And if appearance is high on your list of priorities, then this is definitely your kind of snack because one thing the Japanese have nailed, in spades, is a visual aesthetic and these things are adorable, plus mine came packaged in a really snappy cardboard tube. However, while good looks are the top priority when it comes to boyfriends, my criteria for food are much less shallow and Apollo falls short of the mark.I think the basis of the problem is that the Japanese, who produce a number of slammin' items (remember that aesthetic), have so far proved themselves incapable of mastering chocolate. I have yet to sample Japanese chocolate that isn't both waxy and short on the essence of chocolate flavor. This item is no exception, plus I don't find the strawberry flavor all that vivid (although to Meiji's credit, it's natural). And it really is easy to finish the container, but I believe that's due more to the fact that Apollo is sweet and innocuous, not that it's delicious. Perhaps if cocoa butter rather than vegetable oil had been the second ingredient listed, Apollo would suggest chocolate rather than paraffin, but who can say for sure? What is sure is that I won't be buying it again.The bottom line: empty calories can be had more deliciously; save your quota for a more worthy goodie. I have no doubt that this review will earn me slams from fan boys (in addition to those guaranteed to turn up immediately, courtesy of obsessive liver-lipped Finnish ugly-boy troll stalkers), but I have to call 'em as I see 'em. 3.5 stars would be about right, but we can't assign by halves so 3 it is.

A good buy...
|
...money wise, in any case. They're much cheaper than in any stores in our area. The only drawback is cleaning them off and breaking off the stems. It might take a while. Otherwise, no complaints. They're delicious after soaking them for about 20 minutes in cold water. I love them in gravies and over potatoes and pasta.

A great canned soup
|
This is one of my favorite lunch staples, and something that I try to keep stocked in my food pantry at all times. (I also love the steak and noodles variety.) It's much, much better than the original version of Cambell's chicken noodle soup, and and for the price makes for a tasty, low-cal, and filling lunch (or even dinner). I'll doctor it up sometime by adding a little lemon juice, fat-free sour cream, or mozzarella or parmesan cheese. Add a few crackers, and it's a substantial meal. I am particularly happy that this is available through Amazon Prime, since I live on a bridge-less island and have to haul my groceries over on a ferry. Now, periodically a box of this soup is delivered to my cottage porch by the island UPS lady...and with no shipping fee!...giving me a constant supply on hand.

Ok coffee, some aftertaste

Ok taste, some aftertaste. A stronger flavor than the Breakfast Blend, but it seems all the Green Mountain coffees I've tried have a particular aftertaste that other brands don't have.

great treat but does it really work?

One of my dogs certainly like this little tab. It has not, however, solve our flea problems.I have two terriers. One which has skin problems and I had hoped Brewers Yeast would help him out. Oddly, his tablet has to be mixed into his wet food.Flea control still has to be used. The bottle is still almost full. So I will continue to use it for their coats. But I would not recommend as flea control

Delicate But Intense
|
We make a big pot of this refreshing and gently invigorating green tea every morning. It's delicious, a blend of white & green tea leaves that brings out the best in each. I've imbibed a great deal of tea from various parts of the world, and this is an excellent, richly flavorful tea. For fun, we often add a couple of bags ofCelestial Seasonings Herb Tea, Peppermintto the pot; it's a riff on a Moroccan tradition that mixes mint leaves with tea. Enjoy!

A Quality Side Dish - certainly not gourmet but better than average
|
I've had good luck with Lipton - aka Knorr - side dishes.Most are a bit bland but none have had any "off" tastes. That is quite an accomplishment for any prepared food. I have tried EVERY Lipton/Knorr side dish. None are bad nor are any stunning!This is one of my favorites. Add a healthy dose of cracked pepper after cooking and it really is tasty.It cooks fast, is very simple to prepare and you have a good sized SIDE dish for TWO - or a MEAL FOR ONE - or a small helping for FOUR.My three star rating may be a bit generous for a processed food. Still - I'd recommend this Lipton dish along with their Teriyaki Rice and their Stroganoff. These three are my favorites.

Great meat substitute for cooking
|
I have to admit I was nervous to try a canned product but I was very pleased. The appearance is not great coming out of the can but when you mold it or mix it in with other foods it's just like ground beef. The taste is very subtle, almost nothing, which I think is a great benefit because it will absorb the flavor of whatever you cook with it. In general I'm very happy with this product and I'm glad to have found it on Amazon because I have never seen it in a store!

still practicing, can not return.
|
the smell of spices from this tea is awesome, but the tea itself is weak, if you try to let it soak in the cup for extra seconds it will leave bitter taste,I tried to add a packet of lipton tea but the taste still bitter, soI'm still practicing with it, it also didn't work with half½, not much with coffee mate. nothing like the original or made from scratch.MY RECOMMENDATIONS: since it is huge quantity that you can't return, try one package from the store first and see if it works for you.

Enjoy wild mountain blueberry coffee but not delay.
|
I enjoyed this. Because I liked it, on July 11, I subscribed to get it every two months. I am an Amazon prime customer and expected it would promptly arrive in two days. It is July 15 and it is still not here. Noticed why, if you subscribe the arrival date becomes weird and distorted from what is promised to Amazon Prime customers. It is said this is due to a subscribed item being shipped free. OMG! Rip off. Not to get my coffee until July 22. Coffee lover boiling. You need to read Amazon print out details. Yessiree. Perhaps a pop up attorney who says whoa cowboy! Have a cup of joe and let sit down and talk awhile about what you will be getting when you hiy the buy key. You know not all gold is real gold some is iron pirates. Now here when you order, there may could be a bit of a wait as it will be put on the slow boat via China because it gets shipped for free. Say that again? You shipped what free. Yes sir, shipping delay is free with your coffee.

Disappointing Taste and Nutrition
|
You look at the box and you think -- a way to sneak in more veggies that no one will notice. As good as that might sound, you have to look deeper at this box and the product inside.I prepared this for my family and I was immediately confused by the nutritional list on the box. Now a non-veggie pasta from Kraft Mac & Cheese has three servings, this listed only two but to be blunt it easily fed three people. It also listed only one half serving of vegetables per serving in the box so frankly with one box feeding three of us, it was basically adding no vegetable value at all.The taste was basically tasteless. We expect a certain cheesiness from Kraft and this just failed utterly. It was salty but not cheesy. The only creaminess was from the milk and butter I added along with some spice when it proved so bland.I could take a nice tomato and/or spinach pasta and add my own cheese mix to get a product that was tastier and healthier. My family would eat it and be better pleased as well. No one liked it in my household.

Not impressed by this tea
|
I am a chocolate fanatic and pairing chocolate with tea only seems natural to me. I've sampled several chocolate flavors and this Stash tea, when compared to the others, is nothing spectacular. When unbrewed, the Stash tea bag smells like chocolate but that scent does not translate to much of a chocolate flavor once the tea is brewed. I could taste quite a bit of vanilla and some nut but the chocolate was just negligible. Additionally, there was a strange aftertaste with this tea. It just wasn't pleasant.If you are committed to a chocolate decaffeinated beverage, your choices will be limited. I have sampled quite a few chocolate teas and many use a black tea base. However, if interested in a caffeine free tee that has a good body, I would recommendChocolate Chai Tea by Zhena's Gypsy Tea, which is a naturally caffeine free tea. Zhena's chocolate chai is supposed to taste like chocolate, but it has a lot of spices. Still,Chocolate Chai Tea by Zhena's Gypsy Teahas a much richer overall flavor than the Stash Premium Chocolate Hazelnut tea.If you don't care about caffeine and are just looking for a chocolate tea, there are several others that I would recommend before this one. They include:Tisano Organic Chocolate Tea,SerendipiTea ChocolaTea, Chocolate, Vanilla, Rooibos & Black Tea, 4-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 2), andBigelow White Chocolate ObsessionTea, 1.6-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6). The first two are loose teas and the last is a bagged tea.At the end of the day, I don't think I would recommend this Stash tea to any chocolate lover. It doesn't taste like chocolate and the overall flavor is poor.

A Little Overpowering

I bought this to season beans, as it is hard to find any ham flavoring. It seems to be good quality, but has a very, very potent smoke flavor that overpowers everything. I won'd be buying this again.

Do not think that it does what it says the tea is supposed to do. It taste ok, not as bland as other tea. Nothing special about it. But, I bought different kinds to try, so it's going to last in the cabinet for a long time.

I've been buying these carob chips for years. No other chips compare. These are just the right amount of sweetness & mimic chocolate! They're great for baking in place of choc chips but also good to at by themselves, out of the bag! Also, the customer service is great, the folks at Barry Farms are awesome!

Very Good - True Fruit Taste
|
Never been a lover of herbal teas, but middle age has brought on bouts of insomnia :( very sad - anyway - I finally figured out that my great love of tea has been keeping me awake at night and have actually been "craving" herbal teas. I tried and disliked them intensely when they were popular in the 90's, but took another try at it again a few days ago.My biggest problem with them was how any fruit tea tasted so "herby" to me. But not anymore. These teas, and I've tried them but the peach, taste like real fruit. There is an herbal taste, but it's mellowed, rounded and in the background. I actually like them a lot. I am sitting here with the black cherry steaming in a cup and, again, save the slightest herbal taste, it reminds me a life saver cherry candy. I actually taste a definite "tartness" in the after taste, which I love.So I'm sold. The blueberry and raspberry were outstanding and very true to their namesake - and they smell good. Tried both last night and realized that my kitchen smelled like "fruit juice" when I woke up this morning. I was delighted by that. :)

Bags Arrived Leaking - Third Shipment Much Better
|
UPDATE: I decided to give this company one more try and placed a third order forthree 10 LB bags of Domino granulated sugar. This time the bags arrived without any damage. I also noticed that the sugar is now sent in heavy plastic bags instead of the paper bags which are so easily damaged in shipment.This sugar is not inexpensive, however, when you consider that these bags are heavy (especially if you are purchasing more than one) and that shipping is free, they are a pretty good deal. Particularly if you are purchasing several bags at once.So I have moved the rating from one star to three..Earlier...I received my order of 4, ten LB bags of Domino's granulated sugar in two separate shipments. I have no idea why they could not have been shipped at once. The first 10 LB bag showed up fine. However, the second three showed upin external bags, because each of the Domino's bags was leaking. One of the three bags was not even in the second bag it had been placed in because it had been leaking, and half of the sugar leaked out into the main shipping box, and all over the other items which had been shipped in this box.This was the second order that I had placed with this company in less than a week, because UPS reported that the original order had been damaged in shipment and had to be returned to the seller.Hopefully, you'll have better luck than I did with them. However, I won't purchase from this merchant again.

Had BUGS in it, poor packaging
|
These noodles were very good, but my boxes had bugs in them - small, black, about half a size of a small ant. Packaging is bad - noodles are not sealed, they're just plain in the box, coated in seasoning and all. Any bug can get into this box and feast on tasty noodles. I can't imagine why they made the choice not to put them at least in a sealed plastic bag inside the package. Plain noodles are ok, they're completely dry, but this product was seasoned. For this reason I'd never buy them again. Bugs took good 2 months to get rid of, extremely annoying in a completely bug-free home. Now I understand why all seasoned noodles come in plastic packaging. I had to throw out all remaining noodles.

Some corn syrup solids, i.e. fructose linked to addiction & liver damage
|
Enfamil EnfaCare Infant (ages 0-12 months) is characterized by milk, whey proteins, more corn syrup, less lactose, DHA, choline, vitamins, and minerals.The sugar in milk is non-sweet lactose (disaccharide), which is not absorbed into the bloodstream already in the mouth, as sweet glucose (monosaccharide), which thus is not a healthy substitute for lactose. Unfortunately, most of milk's lactose is substituted for corn (glucose) syrup solids in EnfaCare and not for a polysaccharide, e.g. maltodextrin. Corn syrup (solids) contains glucose and - like high fructose corn syrup - may contain fructose, which presence (sweetness) can be masked by adding other sugars. Scientists say high fructose corn syrup is addictive as cocaine. So are corn syrup solids with fructose, which content is not provided on the label. Also, high intake of dietary fructose may lead to liver damage from bacteria due to their movement from gut into the blood stream and liver.So, would you like to start your child's obesity and exposure to a potential liver disease (NAFLD) when he/she is an infant, wait for later, or maybe not to accustom the child to corn syrup at all in order to avoid the fructose desire/addiction, as concentrated fructose is not common in nature, humans were not exposed to its consumption, and thus are vulnerable even those who are not obese yet?! A benefit for prematurity does not excuse beginning addition.DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) found in fish oil is an omega-3 fatty acid that can be synthesized in humans. A study found that preterm infants fed DHA had better developmental outcomes, but not the full-term infants or term infants (1-12 mo) who develop normally. A formula for the newborn (0-3 mo) without corn syrup seems to suit better both the preterm and full-term newborns while no evidence suggests that supplementing DHA for the older infants (3-12 mo) is beneficial.Choline is found in sunflower, soy, cod fish, broccoli, cauliflower, milk, chicken, etc. Endurance athletes and people who drink a lot of alcohol may be at risk for choline deficiency and may benefit from choline supplements.Mead Johnson (& Co) Nutrition has 3 lines of formulas: Enfamil Newborn (ages up to 3 months), Enfamil Infant (up to 12 months), and Enfagrow Toddler Transitions (9 to 18 months) and Enfagrow Toddler Next Step Milk Drinks (1 year & up). Except Enfamil Newborn, Infant A.R. and partially EnfaCare, all milk's lactose is substituted for corn (glucose) syrup solids in Mead Johnson (& Co) Nutrition formulas including the Infant Soy. Enfamil Newborn is characterized by easy to digest proteins, choline, DHA, and vitamin D. Enfagrow Toddler Transitions is characterized by DHA, choline, calcium, vitamin D, and antioxidants. Enfagrow Toddler Next Step is characterized by calcium and vitamin D, and is available in two flavors: vanilla and natural milk.

surprisingly... good
|
Okay... so I am new to Senseo and ALL of its varieties of coffees. The machine came with a sample of Dark Roast. It's not that the roast itself was bad, it just tasted "flat" - none of the overtones of the nectar of the gods - and I was sorely disappointed. However, I was on a mission to make 1 cup at a time, having reviewed all the other 1 cup machines out there I was sure that Senseo was not just the best deal, but the best machine - and then... when all hope seemed lost... a light at the end of the tunnel was seen and at its core was Medium Roast. This stuff is good coffee people! You can taste the nuances and hints of floral, chocolately, nutty, and all those other words that go with describing good coffee... so I highly recommend these pods. They taste wonderful and will have you returning to the Senseo for another cup before work begins... FIVE STARS!!!

The worst microwave popcorn! it burns every time!
|
We have tried everything to get even one bag to come out correctly. Either it leaves LOTS of kernels in the bag and very little popcorn to eat OR it burns in big globs and at least 1/4 is burned. We give up! Our microwave is 1200 watts and we have tried the popcorn button AND numerous times tried other times AND we stand there and listen to it. The kernels are still popping vigorously but it is burning inside. Enough is enough. What a shame because it is good tasting, what little we get from one bag, but too frustrating.

Major Ostrim Fan gets Major Food Poisoning - Timeline of Events
|
As someone who has been a fan of Ostrim products for the past five years, I have probably eaten 300-400 of these high protein snacks without incident. Unfortunately, this was not the case with my purchase in February of 2011. In an attempt to shave costs off of my high protein diet that can over 1,000 dollars per month for one person, I decided to purchase 60 Ostrim sticks (3 x 20) in regular, barbecue and teriyaki flavors. Since the expiration dates of these are generally a year into the future, I assumed that I could store the sticks for several weeks. I was dead wrong.After about four weeks of storing the sticks at room temperature, several of the shrink-wrapped air-tight sticks started inflating like balloons. This is a sign CO2 and methane being generated during decomposition. The inflated sticks were discarded and the few remaining that were still in their normal shrink-wrapped state were placed in a refrigerator.About a week later, I ate three refrigerated sticks just before heading to a venue for which I purchased tickets. This enabled me to get an exact timeline of the events, which are chronicled below. Suffice it to say, about four hours after eating three of the refrigerated sticks, I became deathly ill. I am 99% certain the Ostrim sticks were the source of the food poisoning due to the highly controlled, high protein diet at the time where every food, calorie, and gram of protein was being monitored.The symptoms were so severe, I thought about going to the hospital. My girlfriend at the time was a physician who was able to provide some assurance that the issue was not life threatening. It took about three days to recover, which meant three days of zero productivity. In the end, a regular Ostrim consumer became someone who cringes at the very sight of the Ostrim display at my health club.Timeline of Ostrim Food PoisoningEvent..........Date..........TimeOrder from Amazon..........2/11/2011Package Arrived ..........2/16/2011Discard of inflated (decomposed) ..........

Weird Odor with a Bad After Taste!
|
This coconut water has a very weird smell and a bad after taste like its an old coconut. The other coconut water I have had is the Vita coco and it's not bad but it's better than this Zico. Zico does not taste fresh at all. If you don't breath, you can drink it down. I'm going to give the rest of the cartons to my mom; I hope she likes it! Ewww!

Maltitol is not what I need
|
I don't have to lose weight. However, I am fighting chronic candidiasis and I have to stay away from sugar, all refined carbs and dairy products. When I found these chocolate bars,(which taste great to me!) I wrongly believed I had finally found the chocolates that wouldn't feed my Candida. I was wrong because Maltitol does feed Candida. I found out that XYLITOL is the **only** sweetener that does not feed the yeast. Fortunately, I managed to find delicious dark chocolate bars sweetened with Xylitol on the Internet and I am going to stick to those. Being that Xylitol is so healthy, why isn't it used on more products? Unfortunately, many of us already know the answer. :(

Organic Nutmeg...
|
Nutmeg is rich in protective anti-inflammatory compounds that can lower your risk of cancer by stifling tumor growth. Macelignan the compound in nutmeg fights the germs which reduces plaque formation by 50 percent and eradicates cavity-producing microbes. This is not saffron. Saffron is very, very expensive and comes from Iran. Nutmeg is from Malaysia and Indonesia. For purity place some in water. If water turns into a murky color then it is diluted since real nutmeg will turn water yellow. In small quantities nutmeg is safe, but in higher quantities, nutmeg is very poisonous and toxic. Nutmeg has been used as a drug in other countries and indulgence can cause a slew of adverse effects. I use it in moderation and try to get the whole nut and grind it myself. In my big dishes, I just throw in the nut, no grinding. Nutmeg has a very strong and distinctive taste.Spice Hunter is sold everywhere so prices varies considerably. This is a good brand in organic form. Powders always lose the taste and smell sooner than the whole nut regardless of the food item but grinding may be a challenge for such a hard nut.

Yummy Blueberry beats out Strawberry in my humble opinion
|
I bought both the Blueberry and Strawberry versions of these through Amazon's Subscribe & Save Program. I shop at Costco a lot and have been disappointed that they only carry the Frosted variety of toaster pastries. I refuse to pay the grocery store prices for a treat like this so, for years, I've done without. Both Strawberry and Blueberry are good but I find the Blueberry to have more fruit flavor than the Strawberry. Either way, if you're like me you'll enjoy this product and, the Amazon Subscribe & Save price is quite reasonable too!

My Baby Does Not Like It
|
This formula came just at the time my baby had developed a bad gas habit. However after trying this for a few days I gave up. The first attempts seemed to reduce gas, however she actively disliked the taste (this is soy based versus regular milk based formulas).But I should note that I have not tried other soy based brands. so I'm giving this two stars instead of one.

Nothing stellar
|
I was a little disappointed in this product. I bought it for my husband who has diabetes but who loves dark chocolate. It tasted bland to both of us. For the price I was expecting a bit of a "gourmet" taste, a chocolate with a smooth, creamy melt. This chocolate tasted a bit gritty and was neither smooth nor creamy.What I did like was that the vendor enclosed a chemical pack with the shipment that kept the chocolate cool enough despite the summer heat. This chemical pack prevented the chocolate from arriving in a brown, mushy package.

boo hiss! Ok, the nutritional values are ok. If that is your goal, then go for it. Coconut water is packed with electrolytes. Very hydrating. If you are wondering if it will taste like your beloved coconut water........not so much. It is not bad, just not what I was hoping for. If you are not a person that regularly consumes fresh coconuts, this may not mean much to you. I am rating a 4 because I can appreciate the strive for something healthy. On the other hand, the taste just did not do it for me. Back to going ninja on the coconuts with the cleaver.....

Kellogg's has come up with the ultimate in unhealthful snack foods with these bite size sugar fixes. Sure, the graham snacks are made with whole wheat, but two of the most prominent ingredients are sugar and high fructose corn syrup. And, the "buns" don't taste much of cinnamon. For my grocery cart, these tidbits are "out."

A little pricey
|
I originally purchased the 24 pack of Jell-O cook n serve when there was a deal of $25.00 off a $50.00 order (I think) but anyway, the normal price amazon is selling at is .91 cents a box. At the grocery it retails for a little more than that so I thought with the $25.00 off thus saving another 33% it brought the price of each box down to .61 cents or so which is a great savings from the grocery store and with free shipping wow! couldn't beat that. It wasn't 2 weeks later I went to Meijer and they had the cook n serve 2/$1.00...ugh!! But the jell-o arrived as described, not expired (unlike other foods purchased from amazon) and no mice eaten boxes (unlike other foods purchased from amazon). So all in all it was an average deal.

Don't put this container in the microwave
|
I bought these because they're supposed to be quick and easy meals for work. The 'Vegetable with Mini Round Noodles' is also vegetarian, which is another reason why I bought it. The price also caught me...they're much cheaper here on Amazon than in the grocery store.However...this container has a design flaw. If you place it in the microwave as the directions call for, the container will 'pop' and fall over, spilling soup all over the microwave. I thought it was a fluke the first time, so I wiped everything up and put it back in. It 'popped' and fell over three more times.Given the fact that the purpose of buying these containers is for convenience, I don't think it's very convenient to have to bring an extra bowl to work to pour the soup into before heating it up.That said, the price and the taste is what prompted me to buy another package. Yes, you have to pour it out into a bowl, but it's a quick, cheap, and pretty decent meal. I recommend it if you don't mind bringing an extra bowl to work.

Not a fan

It's too bland for my taste, it has absolutely no kick to it. Not what i'm used to when it comes to curry, i had to add some seasoning to it and heat it up longer than normal to make it thicker. I think this would be my only purchase.

Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.
|
I think that the only reason why this works for some people is because they are adding more liquid to their diet when they add this tea. I was already a seriously lengthy water drinker and this made no difference to my milk production. I am convinced that my epidural screwed my chances of breastfeeding easily. I used pumps, which obviously work better than baby... but, even then my milk wasn't what it should have been. My mother, grandmother, and aunts were all pretty surprised at the lack of milk I was producing, considering my healthy organic lifestyle and my large water and liquid intake.Oh well. I tried this stuff for 3 months to no avail.

Great for kids or on the go
|
I used to be a huge Slim Jim fan. Ok, that is meant both literally and figuratively. I have lost 225 lbs since those days! But back then a Slim Jim was a part of my daily routine.Fast forward 10 years. I hadn't eaten a Slim Jim in forever, my poor kids didn't even know what they were! I couldn't let that last.So we got the pack of 25 Giant Smoked Snacks.I think my son puts it best: "It is a bacony, beefy, smoky stick of yumminess!"I would tend to agree, but for me they are now too greasy. My son, of course, doesn't mind the grease,"It's like a beefy stick of bacon! Who cares if it is greasy?"So Slim Jim products are now back in our lives. But they will be a rare snack food, not a daily "must have". Everything in moderation.Overall: 3 stars. Beefy bacon goodness, if only we could get rid of the grease.

Hated it ...
|
Just hated this mac and cheese. So artificial, yuck and made me sick in the stomach. I bought a whole lot and could not eat more than two packs. Gave away some to friends and neighbor kids and everyone hated it. Worst mac and cheese ever. Look at the ingredients and calories - not healthy either. I simply wasted my money.

good stuff UPDATE: for prepackaged microwave choice
|
This is my favorite and i only find it sold at one store locally. The store (Kmart) repeatedly had soaked through messy bags. My Amazon order so far has been excellent quality through 2 boxes. Worth buying in bulk if you love this particular popcorn.update: no longer order prepackaged microwave popcorn. wish i could find white like this in a bottle with no additives.

Sent me in to after hours
|
I drank this tea and within an hour needed to go to an after hours urgent care center! I have had numerous herbal teas in my life, and really I get to this one and have an allergic reaction? Definately not happy now that I ordered the six pack and only went through one cup and a sip of another cup before I started to have issues..

love
|
I love this product. It has a nutty, cheesy taste. And way less calories than regular cheese, so I use it in the place of cheese in some recipes.

Excellent product at good price
|
I use only Sweet Leaf pure stevia for sweetening beverages and foods. The liquid is best for cooking and for adding to cold beverages. The dropper helps to measure it accurately. The price through Amazon is better than that at the grocery store. I will keep buying it as long as Amazon has it available. The words "Limited Quantities" in the product listing make me wonder if it will continue to be available at Amazon.com.

Great if you like liquorice!
|
The liquorice easily overpowers any other herb in this, so I will only drink it when I have a sore throat - my package of 6 will last me a few years!

Doesnt dissolve!!
|
I purchased this 'bargain' size but it resists being mixed into a hot cup of anything, resembling curdled milk or cream. Since there's so much and it actually does not have the same rich mouth taste which is why I bought it to use with milk as a cheaper version of half and half....now I'm thinking as I write this that maybe if I pre-mix this with boiled water and store it in the fridge like 'cream' that the curdled issue will not be an issue.But otherwise, sometimes it pays to spend a bit more for something known and just enjoy it

Tasty Bite is aptly named
|
This was really yummy, mildly spicy so that I could add hot sauce as needed, and actually it was good hot or cold. I love this stuff with brown basmati rice cooked in my rice cooker, but I also like it with whole-grain crackers when I just don't feel like cooking.

a little dry but good
|
These are too expensive for what you get. Kashi is shrinking the a lot of their bars and raising the prices! But These are just too dry. good treat god as far as whole fiber and protein but .... could be better.

A Bit Bland

These would be better with a lot more seasoning. I can think of several other vegan breakfast sausages that taste better.

A versatile, vegan, gluten free bread mix
|
When I first started eating gluten free, I was happy with GF's Pantry's White Bread. As time went by however, I started looking for more taste, less crumble, and more versatility. I found it with Pamela's Wheat Free/Gluten Free Bread Mix. The addition of sorghum flour lends a honey-whole wheat taste and a nice structure to the finished product. I have made beautiful baked goods with this (all by hand, no stand mixer) including cinnamon buns, yummy chewy pizza crust, pie crust, French bread, pretzels, and the BEST gluten free bagels I have ever had. It's also vegan. So those with dairy or egg intolerance can play with it too! Amazon's Subscribe and Save program makes this an affordable option that I can share with my whole family. It's not just called, Mom's bread, now.

Tasty and crunchy!
|
A good product that both tasted fantastic and was inherently healthy. The price was a nice one over what I could find in a bulk product. It has eaten well in salads, morning cereals, cupcakes, and desert cakes. I reordered it.

The best peppermint tea, hands down
|
I never drank coffee and ended up with a collection of Celestial Seaonings teas in my cupboard. Until recently, for whatever reason, i was drinking Trader Joe's peppermint tea--I suppose I thought it was cheaper, and it was, but it always seemed weak and i would have to use two bags to get the stomach-soothing effect peppermint is known for.Not so with Celestial Seasonings; I started purchasing this again and it is perfect. I will never use another brand of peppermint tea.

A little on the large side.
|
The texture is ok but I prefer them about half as large. They crumble a bit when they are cut up dry, but it works.

Love it on everything!
|
My kids are crazy about this stuff and sprinkle it on just about everything. It adds a nice taste to popcorn, rice, or tofu. I wouldn't be without it in my kitchen.
