I love the flavor of this tea - I wanted to try a different variety of black tea and this one caught my eye. I love it! | Great Black Tea |
This product was recommended to me by a few nurses & lactation consultants. I wasn't going to get as I'm not much of a "wholistic medicine" person and read that fenugreek products are more of a placebo type of drug. That is, as a placebo, the benefit of the drug is a mental / emotional one not a proven factual/medical one. I have to disagree & highly recommend this product. I have numerous issues against me in the breastfeeding department... I'm an older mom, I have thyroid issues, had fertility issues and my child was not accomodating to breastfeeding. For a few weeks, and per the advice of a few professionals, I was doing an insane "booby boot camp" to increase my supply. I was attempting to do this at EACH feeding: breast feed for 10-15 minutes per side, bottle feed with a formula supplement, and then pump for 20 minutes. Doing this took a minimum of 2 hours and was done at every 3 hour increment. Insane!!! My child also would not breast feed unless I used a nipple shield as well. I believe that all this was caused when I was in the hospital, she wouldn't feed well and the hospital 1) got her hooked to the nipple shield, 2) got her started down the bottle / formula route since she was a tiny baby, and 3) NEGLECTED TO TELL ME that I needed to pump to keep my supply up. The combo of the events was a powerfully negative effect on my milk supply, breastfeeding abililty, and well being. Needless to say, I was a physical and emotional wreck, but I was willing to do the booby boot camp to try to increase my milk supply and ultimately exclusively breastfeed my baby.So here's the point: After drinking the tea ONE time, I had immediate results. My pumping supply increased about 3x. Now, my supply is fine. Even better, I'm no longer on booby boot camp and not providing supplement of formula OR expressed breast milk to my daughter. Next stage is getting her off the nipple shield, but everything is in phases. Plus, it's now some crazy early hour, I really should be sleeping, but I wanted to leave feedback so others don't suffer like I did.For what it's worth, I also recommend Dr. Harvey Karp's book "Happiest Baby on the Block". The calming recommendations have been a life saver for me. Did I mention that my husband travels for work and is gone unpredictibly for days at a time? Oh, and we moved when I was 8 months pregnant.TRUST ME: The book & the tea have been hugely helpful. Sanity and sleep never felt better!!Best of luck to everyone. Welcome to the sisterhood!!! | Placebo? I don't think so!! IT WORKS!!!! |
I returned 2 cartons of these that were the standard variety flavors sold as the fun flavor assortment. It seems this is a common problem. | Not the flavors advertised |
I'm a bit disappointed in this product. We do have a moth problem and since we have dogs and cats who don't think twice about anything that looks edible, I really didn't want to deal with smelly and possibly toxic solutions.I used one trap each in two closets. They've been in there for three weeks now. One trap has one dead moth in it. The other trap has three. That just doesn't do enough of the job to take care of the problem. | Sort of Works, But You Need More than 2 |
This product was very good! i am not sure what people were referring to when they claim "the heat was turned up in this"....maybe these folks are super sensitive to spice. I found the flavors to meld wonderfully together, a fresh tast combination! i am desi and have aquired a taste for heat, so to me, these were not in the least bit spicy...they were, in fact, tasty...salt with a bit of a pepper flavor. i loved them and couldnt keep my hands out of them! i also got rave reviews for them when they were presented as part of the appetizers for a party i had. dont be shy about trying them...they are realllyyyy good! | perfect taste..coming from a desi! |
I got this at a local store...This bottle costs $1.49. I don't know what is it about the flavor, but I find the taste so repulsive. Took a sip here and there...and decided to throw the rest down the sink. Bottle is "BOYLAN VINTAGE SODA POP - DIET BLACK CHERRY" 476 ML) Well seems like the rest of other reviews are positive. It's my first time, so I guess I did not develop a taste for it. If it is good for you guys, good for you. I can't even describe the flavor and texture and smell because I don't know what words to use. It smell funny...I don't know how to say it...or if word it correctly...but smell like PAINT?? Smell like some paint chemical I am drinking! | Odd flavor and smell very bad for me. |
What took so long to come up with this? These are great. I buy them regularly in all flavors. It's nice to throw a healthy snack in the bag and not have to worry about breaking jars or dirty spoons. I eat them, my six year old takes them in his lunch, and my two year old eats them too. Amazon's price is the best I've found. This is my family's favorite flavor. Seriously, we eat these every day. | Where have you been all my life? |
I am not normally a fan of mint teas. They usually smell great, but are very weak tasting, no matter how much you steep. This is the first mint tea I have ever come across that has a black and green tea base, instead of just a green tea base. What a difference! The Assam really kicks the tea up a notch without overpowering the mint at all. It has a lovely aroma, and a nice strong flavor. I can't say whether I felt "revitalized" or "invigorated" but it tasted great and that's the most important thing. It has such a great flavor, I tried it as an iced tea and found it was fantastic. Very refreshing!Since this is marketed as "health tea," I have not been able to find any Yogi flavors in a regular grocery store. It is available in vitamin shops (online and brick and mortar), and similar outlets. Though it is a trifle expensive compared to regular tea at almost $4, I would definitely buy it again. Since it takes several bags to make a pitcher of iced tea, it is worth it to subscribe for me, which also brings the price down. Highly recommended!I also enjoyed the Yogi Purely Peppermint, Herbal Tea Supplement, 16-Count Tea Bags (Pack of 6), which is great for upset stomachs. | Wonderful Tea - hot or iced |
Yes, these Peeps have been around forever, but I do not know how they have managed to survive when nowadays there are way healthier, and equally as fun snacks. The main ingredients are sugar, corn syrup (they do not use the "high fructose" now), and colorants. Nothing very good for children's health, plus they do NOT taste good. Sure, their colors catch everybody's attention, but most people (children and adults) will put them down after a couple of bites. The one star is for their decoration merits. They indeed cheer up any Easter buffet table. | Good decoration, awful snacks |
What a waste...I bought these Lindt Truffles to put in a goody bag for my annual bash. I was so excited when it came in as I opened the package I saw grease stains had saturated the plastic wrapped truffle box. As I opened one of them up I was horrified to see each and every one of the White Chocolate Truffles had melted and leaked all over the box. I didn't even bother to open the other box because it was in the same leaky state. I quickly called Amazon to let them know, but when i called I was told that these are non-returnable items and they can't do anything about it. I guess they have faced this countless amount of times to have made this policy. So please unless you want a great messy box of melted white grease I would stay away from this item. I even paid for 2 day shipping...what a rip off. | Don't Bother unless you want a "Melted Ball of Grease" |
Tastes good and arrived fast. I am reordering...I eat natural peanut butter too and like to spread both on whole wheat bread with organic jelly. | Fast, easy and tastes good |
Patsys sauce (marinara, pizziola, vodka and all others) is thick, rich and flavorful. There is no better product on the market today. | Simply the BEST! |
I am a big fan of treats that are digestable. I purchased this product thinking it would be safe to feed my dog. I left the treat for my dog on my way out the door for work, when I arrived home 4 hours later the treat was fully gone and the poor dog could not control his bowel movements and had diarrhea.This diarreha lasted for 2 days, and was so bad that I had to take a trip to the vet which ended up being one of the most expensive trips I've made there yet to have him tested for various illnesses.I didn't attribute the diarrhea to the product at first, but a week later I again gave my dog this bone treat and a few hours after eating the bone the diarrhea started back up again.I'm unsure what exactly about this product is "healthy", and would argue against it being "edible". Sure technically you can give this product to your dog and if he eats peices it won't require surgery to remove. But you'll spend 2-3 days dealing with uncontrolable doggy bowel movements, and excessive dehydration. And if your not quick enough to realize it's this treat causing your problems you'll spend a few hundred bucks at the vets office like I did.And don't get me started on how quickly these things can get eaten....From now on I'll stick with bully sticks. | Dog loved it, until his first bowel movement. |
I really don't like this coffee. I don't know if this is true of all French Roasts and if that is something that others who like French Roast like, but this coffee tastes burnt to me. It even looks and smells burnt. The beans are black. I have had much better coffee and my husband calls me a coffee snob. | Not so great... |
All of you who are wheat/ gluten intolerant this is a great value. I order some of the foods that I need all the time. It really comes in handy when we visit relatives, just order it and send the grocerys to them. It makes it so convenit not to have to go grocery shopping, or find stores with gluten/ wheat free products, before we get there. These make great wheat free rice crisp treats as well. Prime makes it even nicer when you can save money on the shipping and send it where you need it to go.Way to go Amazon! Keep putting up gluten/wheat free products. | Arrowhead Mills Puffed Brown Rice Cereal |
Raspberry Tea is a staple in my medicine cabinet. Good for virus/flu -- sipping when your stomach just won't settle down or for intestinal distress. Also other uses as mentioned by other reviewers. Raspberry leaf is just an excellent remedy for a multitude of uses. Some local grocery stores are wise enough to stock this tea, so we can purchase a box at a time. If you're not so lucky - share a case (of 6 as offered here) with like minded friends and get yours from Amazon. | Raspberry Leaf is an excellent remedy. |
It's no secret that high fructose corn syrup is detrimental to your health. Unfortunately, it's also no secret that it has replaced other forms of sugar in a disturbingly large number of manufactured foods. Even worse is that most high fructose corn syrup is made from genetically modified corn.Since the late 1980s, HFCS has replaced regular table sugar, honey, and similar sweeteners in practically everything. Prolonged consumption of HFCS is now the topic of much debate and we are learning that it can cause long-term damage to the body.High Fructose Corn Syrup Dangers1. Significant Risk of Weight Gain & Obesity2. Increased Risk of Developing Type-2 Diabetes3. Hypertension and Elevated "Bad" Cholesterol Levels4. Long-Term Liver Damage5. Mercury Exposure from HFCSKelloggs and other manufacturers know this and are slowly getting rid of this sweetner. Look at the cover of Post Rain Bran. They are advertising that it contains NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP.I applaud them for this. High Fructose Corn Syrup is made from genetically modified corn from Monsanto which uses systemic pesticides in their seeds which is causing Colony collapse disorder in bees. I am a bee keeper and have been avoiding all products with HFCS in them to save my family and the bees. Watch vanishing of the Bees,Food Matters and Food Inc. They are all sold on Amazon. Excellent movies which will change your health dramatically and the way you think and eat. | Buyer Beware!This product contains High Fructose Corn Syrup! |
I put this on my feet at night, my face as a moisturizer and put a little in my protein shakes. Excellent product and see the benefits already after a couple of weeks using it. Haven't cooked with it yet but judging by the smell of it, I will try in the near future. | Best Oil Ever |
Like at least one of the other reviewers, I also had severe problems with the gum sticking to my dental work. I found this gum to be impossible to chew because I have ONE crown on a molar. The entire piece of gum stayed solidly stuck to the crown the whole time I was trying to chew it, forming a gum-coating on that one tooth. I am sure that I can find someone to take this pack off my hands, but unfortunately, this one piece has been enough for me. Other than that one issue, the gum seemed good and I think it would have been ok if I didnt have a crown. :( | Yes - very sticky on dental work. |
I always look to amazon to save me some money. This is a good quality product for a price below the grocery stores (even better than most sale prices) I can't say the flavor is better than homemade seasoning or some gourmet products out there, but it tastes right for the price and is convenient enough to make for a quick dinner. I will buy again as long as the price stays the same ($10.91 when I purchased with Subscribe and Save) | Great price, good product |
I have really been scared to use all these cans I bought due to the dented damage to almost all of them. | cans too damaged |
You get the masala in any indian store for 1.29. Any indian store sells at that price or maybe 1.59 at the most. | Awesome taste but overpriced |
I have five totally indoor cats, which means that they have zero access to fresh greens. One of them, aptly named Monster, will eat anything that looks remotely like a plant; green fabric, faux flowers, my floral purse. Thus far we have tried approximately 5 other brands of cat grass and this one is the biggest hit.The cats all love this stuff, and we are also snipping bits off for our chinchilla and box turtle.The packaging is nice and sturdy so the cats cant destroy it while munching.Greens are thicker and healthier looking than most of the other brands we've tried.Directions are easy to follow.I like that its USDA certified and provides batch information for each bag, including contents, date tested, and type of wheat.Unlike many other brands of pet greens that only target cats, this is marketed towards a variety of animals and includes suggested methods for feeding each. I am the inventory mgr at a petstore and this allows us to reach more customers with the product!The company, Bellrock Growers, supports animal rescue, adoption and shelter programs, which is an added bonus to an avid animal lover!The only downside is that I have to hide the container while the grass is regrowing! The cats will go to great lengths to find and munch on it.I highly recommend this brand of pet grass! | Big win with our Pride. |
These cookies are really good and priced just right, especially the way the economy is today. I highly recommend these to everyone. | Great cookies, for a great price. |
I ordered this for my birthday. I got birthday money from family, and I ordered a couple of goodies, perfume, and this cocoa. I love hot chocolate, and I'm always looking for new ones to try. Based on the first review I decided to go ahead and order. I will probably not reorder. Mixed by itself into hot water it seems to lack thickness. It also has too much of an artificial raspberry taste. I like Hershey's Bliss Raspberry Chocolate much better. I've been adding one spoonful of the Cobblestone Kitchen to my regular cocoa to give it a raspberry boost. But, by itself, it does not stand up to the test. I plan on finishing the three remaining cans over time by using it as a stir in additive to other cocoa. | On the verge of being good, but something's missing |
This food was good when they were a small company, and my dog liked the first bag. I have purchased it twice since, and will NEVER again. My dog has constant diarreah, and will NOT touch her food - Please don't risk your pets health on a dog food that P&G purchased the company that made it. They test on animals, so how much could they really care how good the ingredients that go in are? Also, the last 2 bags had A LOT of crumbs ( 1/4 the bag was pretty much powder ) | DO NOT PURCHASE! |
Let me start by saying that I LOVE okra. I grew up eating okra dishes my mom made and I can't get enough. I'm also lazy, so when I saw that I could get pre-made okra in a box, I had to try it. There are a bunch of other MTR boxes I've tried and some (like the pongal) are actually pretty good.The Bhindi Masala was terrible. First, there is almost no okra in the box at all. There is an occasional bit of green floating around, but for the most part, the package is full of some dark brown sludge that looks like an oil spill. Second, you can probably guess why the sludge looks like so oily...the package has a ridiculous amount of fat. I thought that veggies were supposed to be healthy!Regardless, try some other MTR boxes. Bhindi Masala is definitely one to skip. Anyone out there want the remaining boxes from my 10-Pack? | Bhindi? I think not |
I recently found myself on a jerky hunt. After visting Texas and finding out that real jerky is nothing like a Slim Jim I have been looking to find anything with serious pepper and heat. This is the best I could find. The only reason this is not five stars is because there is better jerky, just not packaged as far as I have found.The pices are meaty and firm. They could use more pepper but there is enough to give you a nice little burn that builds while you eat and for a little while after. The 8oz packages are far more than you will find in most stores but if you find this is what you like, you will still go through it in a week pretty easily so you might as well buy two. | The best online |
I was convinced by other reviewers to take a chance on this wheat pasta, and I'm sooooo glad I did. No one in my white-bread-only family noticed that it was wheat. Honestly, I'm not wild about wheat pastas either, but this was yummy with no gumminess or grittiness. | Fabulous for White Bread Only Kids |
These were a real disappointment. After trying their Minute Coffee Cake and loving it, I had high expectations. The hamburger buns were tough, and then turned hard as a brick. They were awful, and we ended up throwing them away. A real bummer....a great cheeseburger on a bun is the thing I miss most being a celiac! Do try their Coffee Cake, though. It was fantastic, and you only add water and microwave for a minute! Feels like cheating in the morning, and perfect for those in a rush. Be sure and don't throw the baking container away, as it looks like you can order just the refills without the container for less money. | Unfortunately, these were not good. |
My dogs very much enjoy getting treats or food out of this toy (they enjoy getting treats out of anyting). I will say this is a fairly simple and easy toy to get treats out of. All the dog need do is move one star point and all the points underneath are exposed at once. Plastic is easy to clean if needed. | Fun & easy |
I just love this VANILLA. I was introduced to the vanilla from King Arthur Flour. I was happy to see that I did not have to drive to King Arthur to get some more. | Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract |
Delicious and refreshing smoothie mix, just add whatever you please and it will only enhance the concentrated natural lemon flavor. I have added flax seed, vitamin C powder, whey or protein powders, fresh fruit, green tea, etc. Add water and ice cubes and you have a powerful breakfast or a refreshing pick me up! I will definitely buy, again. | Delicious and Refreshing Anytime Smoothie |
When I ordered this product, it said it was real cinnamon (i.e."canela") and "product of Sri Lanka". I ordered based on that, but they sent me Indonesian "cinnamon" (not Canela). Not at all what I wanted, and this item has been deemed "not eligible for return", and the website has been revised to match what they sent me.I don't think they did it to be evil, but they should have admitted they no longer stock what I ordered instead of taking my money for something I did not want. This product is WAY too expensive for common non-canela "cinnamon", so I feel a bit ripped-off. And now I still have to find some real canela. Two stars, because it's probably an overpriced yet adequate product if you weren't bait-and-switched from something else. For me, it was just a total waste of time and money. :( | I got bait and switched |
This is great stuff, all of the Pace salsa's are wonderful, however I tend to steer away from the really hot stuff. I ordered my salsa from a place that depending on what you read is either called Great J & P Trading Company or Real Nerds J&P. In any case the name should have warned me. At my local small town Nevada already over priced grocery store the salsa cost per ounce was 0.12 cents, at this Amazon store it was 0.20 cents per ounce. This is real money at 76 ounces. My fault for not checking and will not make that mistake again. The other issue was the expiration date at the market was Dec 8 2012, and from "Real Nerds" it was May 8 2012. A month a two days from today. So it costs more and has been sitting on the shelf for 7 extra months. I know <...> says it will last unopened for 12-18 months, it is still annoying to me. So lesson learned. | Pace Chunky Salsa |
I bought several bags of these at a warehouse store and was very sorry when we got home with them. High fructose corn syrup (worse than just corn syrup) and blueberry "flavor" is not what I was looking for in dried blueberries.Not only does it have questionable ingredients these are WAY too sweet - like some have said more like candy than a dried fruit. | Buy another brand! |
This coffee is absolutely delicious. Once you open the bag, the rich, dark roasted smell is noticeable. It is nice and oily. The flavor lasts on your tastebuds unlike some dark roasted coffee that has some taste at the beginning but quickly evaporates. I would highly recommend this coffee. | Deliciously, Bold tasting coffee |
You'll love these. Planters' quality that you'd expect, yet ordering them through the internet is a double-edged sword of a process; less expensive than what you'd probably pay for them in the store, BUT more than likely one or more will be (as was the case here) broken into pieces. Not a big deal if you're going to share one, but not quite the aesthetic pleasure treat to hand out. Still, they're sugary and peanuty and . . . well, Planters knows the nut biz! | If you like peanuts . . . |
Hello - Searched everywhere for onion free chicken broth to use for my older dog. I found this brand that does not have Onion anywhere on the label and was soo excited. I hope that I am not missing some sneaky word for Onion but this looks great for me and my older dog loved it. The flavor is really good too I use it to cook for everything for myself as well. Now if only this company would make an Onion free beef broth | Onion free chicken broth - as far as I can see - safe for dogs |
The five star review also posted here is right on when it comes to everything it says. I was planning on ordering a box of the blueberry sesame strips because they are small, easy to carry,and satisfying when those hunger pangs hit. Having saved the wrapper just as I was waiting for Amazon to load I just happened to notice that these tasty morsels are made in China. Doggone it. With all the bad press associated with China and their food exports, including pet food within the past couple years, I have to pass. | Tasty & a nice crunch |
I bought this tea because I absolutely love tangy lemons, and wanted a tasty tea that wouldn't keep me up all night. Based on other reviews, I knew it would have a strong lemony flavor, but the tea is lacking some tanginess that would probably make it perfect. Still, it is probably the best lemon tea I have had from a K-cup or tea bag. Next time I will add some fresh drops of fresh lemon juice. With the bit of honey I already added, it will be perfect. | Good flavor, but not tangy |
This item was very important for my small baking business and not only did I never receive this item, I had to call them for a refund. The response I got from them regarding the no-show? "Oh, did you want to re-order it?" Uh, NO! I had to tell them they needed to return my money asap, which they did do (the very least). I will never do business with this company again and if their ratings are to believed, I'm not the only one very unhappy with them lately. I gave them a single star only because they did return my money. | HORRIBLE customer service! |
We were expecting a case... but no - we got 23 cans thrown recklessly in a box that arrived with a hole in it - some of the cans were dented! Will not be making this purchase again unless we can be assured this will not happen again. | Bad Packaging! One Short! |
If you've ever made hot cocoa from scratch using Hershey's powder, then this is bit what it tastes like. I guess the erythritol is not as sweet as real sugar, so this syrup has more of the bitter cocoa taste. If it's that bothersome than you probably need to add your own sweetener to the milk. It's probably not going to be great over icecream. As stated in another review erythritol is the most stomach friendly of all the sugar alcohols, so the plus side is you probably won't experience any gas or diarrhea from this. | Bitter yes, but so is real cocoa |
I bought a case of beef and a case of chicken stock because I had a hard time finding this brand at local stores. It came well packed, was delivered quickly and the best part is, that it is delicious. Not too salty like so many stocks. And a great beefy flavor. I use it for French Onion soup and it is perfect every time. I will order again. | Great beef stock, great price |

Carbquik is an amazing product. I use it for all kinds of bread like things on my low carb diet. breadsticks are delicious, the pizza crust is awesome.my only gripe with this is that its TWICE the price on Amazon. Netrition.com offers it for nearly half the price. | Great product, insane pricing |
I sent this to my sister for her birthday and she loved it! She said it was very pretty and very yummy and a very nice surprise for her special day. Highly recommend! Thanks! :) | Gift Box Tower of Chocolate |
My being a Florida native, I KNOW Guava Jelly. The contents of the jar is jelly, but without the label, I would not know it to be Guava Jelly. | Is this REALLY Guava Jelly? |
I had just enjoyed this tea at a restaurant this evening. I enjoyed 6 or 7 cups with my meal. It does not have the bitterness that most green teas have, after leaving the bag in too long. I like to leave the bag in to get as much from the tea as I can, for the health benefits, of which there are many. I believe everyone should drink green tea, and this one tastes great. Maybe a slight bitterness but not much, it was a very smooth, fresh tasting green tea. It had that classic green tea flavor that I enjoy. As I don't care much for black or oolong teas. This was one of the best brand name green teas that I have ever had, so much that I looked it up when I got home and am now posting this review. | A great green tea |
I bought this new product for my wife. Having recently purchased a new Keurigbrewer, I bought Timothy's Colombian Decaf Coffee from Amazon. What a neatidea!!!Well, the Kahlua coffee product was announced, and I bought it in hopes it would be a nice after dinner beverage. NOT SO !!! I don't know what it tastes like,but it certainly is not Kahlua / coffee. We've tried to add all types of liquids to the coffee ( including real Kahlua ) with no success.MY recommendation is to pass this product up !!!Timothy's World Coffee KAHLUA Original, K-Cups for Keurig Brewers, 24-Count K-cups (Pack of 2) | "where's the taste?" |
This was my second and last order for this item.It took almost three weeks to arrive.There were 3 boxes of the wrong flavor andone box was damaged.very disappointed. | Poor delivery & wrong item |
We used these traps in my house and didn't catch any roaches. In fact, we ended up catching a mouse instead.. it was pretty horrifying. The mouse was screeching really loudly and it just seemed pretty awful. Sadly, we didn't catch any roaches. | didn't catch any roaches |
Basically, the taste of this cereal is remarkably like Grape Nuts (which I have and still do like also). The difference is there's no risk of an emergency dental call with the Ezekiel cereal, which is not nearly as hard as Grape Nuts. Ezekiel will also satisfy those who mandate organic ingredients, etc.Sprouted grain products are truly tasty and deserve to be more familiar to more people. They put refined grains (i. e., white flour) to shame nutritionally and unsprouted whole grains (i. e., whole wheat) to shame in terms of taste/texture. It's more expensive, but buy a box to sample first and then buy bulk afterwards, as I have. | Expensive but unique food |
I do not know if there is a difference but these have the same amount of carbs per grams of serving as the regular.They are made with sugar alcohol.15 carbs per 16 gram serving which is the same carb count as regular Werthers 16 gram serving.So how is this any better for diabetics than regular candy? | Sugar Free but not Carb free. |
If you're a fan of the little shakers of McCormick's fajita seasoning, this isn't it. It's mostly salt, has little cumin, and the end result turns out twitchingly salty with no real flavor. You'd be better off concocting your own recipe for it. | Bleh, they changed the recipe. |
My wife and I have always wanted to try vegemite and now we have... Not my cup of tea! It has a salty yeast flavor, just a little to strong for my taste. But how cool is it that all I have to do is log on to Amazon, and for a reasonable price we can try a favorite from another culture in our own home. I will not be finishing this but I have a friend who grew up in New Zealand and he will love to have a taste of home :) | Not my cup of tea |
Pleased with the product's quality and price. Packaging is good and very practical. Good value for money.Avoid buying flax powder, as the oil content starts to oxidize immediately upon exposure to air - this makes them rancid-tasting and unhealthy. Flax seeds are very healthy and should be used daily. Flax seeds contain Omega 3 fatty acids that are good for your health. Buy organic, brown or golden whole flax seeds they are inexpensive and you can keep them in a cool, dry pantry for up to one year.You cannot digest whole flax seeds (they will pass right through your digestive tract), you have to grind them up - use a regular, coffee grinder. Eat them within 15 minutes of grinding, and discard what's left, don't save the powder. Taken with any meal, ground flaxseed makes you feel full and satisfied longer. Moreover, its oil content protects the lining of your digestive tract, so it's perfect if you have a sensitive stomach.You will love ground flax seeds sprinkled on your salads or cooked vegetables. They're simply delicious mixed in fruit smoothies, protein shakes, yogurt, soups, or oatmeal. Just make sure that you take it with plenty of fluids 10 times the amount of ground flaxseed,otherwise it could cause constipationNormal daily serving is about 2 full tablespoons per 100 pounds of body weight; that's about 20 grams and 90 calories.List of health benefits of flax seeds:*Improve the cardiovascular health, lowers the blood pressure, "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and blood triglyceride values.*Prevent arterial clots that may result in strokes, heart attacks and thromboses.*Boost the immune system, reduces the inflammation in the body, and relieves asthma.*Support healthy joints and improves the absorption of calcium.*Soothe ulcers, irritable bowel disorders, and improves colon health, lowering the risk of colon cancer.Flax seeds are the richest source of lignans. These are phytoestrogens with powerful antioxidant, anti-tumor, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial properties, 100 times more than the next best source - wheat bran.And that's not all.To fully realize the flax seeds benefits related to weight loss, you should understand one more thing. Its lecithin content dissolves the fats from food in your digestive tract and then the fiber and mucilage content trap these nasty fats, taken them to be eliminated from your body, rather than being stored as body fat.I don't claim to be a doctor but, I can read this is what I have learned about the Flax seed: In short, ground flaxseed has been consumed widely in Europe and Asia, introduced to North America during Colonial days, but not widely used as food until the 1960s', when flaxseed health benefits had been scientifically proven. | Health benefits had been scientifically proven! |
It is seriously a bad taste. No matter what we do, it tastes bad. Bought the Orange and it is the most horrible taste. Even when we put 1/2 a bottle in a gallon of orange juice, it takes bad, let alone when we put the whole bottle into the gallon mix of crystal light. Do not waste your money. | Yucker Mucker - Ewwwwww |
I have been buying this coffee for a couple years and love it. Recently I started buying from amazon for convenience. One thing that I have noticed is one week I will get a package that was roasted January 30. The next order will be January 30. And then the next order (received March 30) was roasted on January 16th. Since this is ground coffee some people would say we have crossed the line on freshness.The coffee is still great but shipping first-in, first-out is something to strive for on items that have shelf lives.Adding to my review:I just received my April 30th shipment of two bags of Black Cat. One bag has a roast date of 2/23/12 and the other was roasted on 1/16/12. Based on this new information it is clear that amazon has no system to ship based on first-in, first-out or they are buying spot market unsold coffee to sell at full retail price in a venue they call Grocery & Gourmet Food.I love amazon, so it concerns me that they cannot manage something as simple as Grocery & Gourmet Food. My next stop is Intelligentsia to see what they think about ground coffee that is roasted in January and sold to become a cup of coffee in May.One more addition:I finally got the answer - the coffee is roasted for espresso - when it passes the acceptable date to be ground for a good espresso they grind it for drip and sell it via amazon. | amazon needs to ship based on roast date |
The following recommendation is based on having enjoyed over 100 tea varieties in the last 2+ years.This tea is a great caffeine free alternative. Try it. | Another great caffeine free alternative |
This is really nice coffee to wake you up in the morning. It's a smooth low acid coffee that is good at a variety of strengths. This Sumatran coffee does not turn bitter as you increase the stength. The taste is smooth and rich. Gotta go! Coffee is ready. | An excellent coffee |
it like drinking a energy drink without the sugar. cant wait till it ready to ship again it must be pretty popular becaus even green mountain coffe dont have any | love this coffee |
The case arrived with the pieces mostly broken and the confectioner's sugar "dusting" all moist, gummy and barely coating the cookies (most of the coating had fallen off). They looked gross, so they ended up NOT being served to guests as a light dessert. Some tasted stale even though they were (barely) in date. The lemon flavor is quite unnatural and the pieces of hard lemon candy baked into these "shortbreads" contributed to this very unnatural flavor. Not a plesant experience and I actually ended up tossing them after tasting the first few boxes. The fact that the shortbreads were broken--very few were whole cookies--added to the disappointment of this purchase. I can't recommend them for these reasons and won't purchase again. | SOURED ON THIS CHOICE !! |
I tried many different brands of heart of palms and this one is pretty good. I tried better and definitely worse. I would classify this one as above average. It is also worth to comment about the seller's service, about 50% of the times I got dented cans and after contacting the seller they sent a new package immediately. | Great Hearts Of Palms |
I bought this Item back in the middle of February, and I love it. This Yogurt taste like a dream, the only bad thing I been unable to find where to purchase replacement. And who buys something for it to collect dust right, perhaps if I would have known that it wasn't going to be that easy to buy replacements I properly would have not bought it!!! | EasiYo Yogurt Maker, 13.4-Ounce |
I think these are wonderful. The chocolate squares have a cocoa flavor with notable depth and fruitiness, the white squares let the slightly nutty-slightly lemony flavor of the eincorn come through, and the whole thing has a hard, not-quite-crunchy mouthfeel that is quite satisfying.However, these aren't cookies. They are biscuits (European-style, not those other things that get sopped in butter or gravy). If you were expecting the soft and oversweet pastries that Amaricans call cookies, you will be disappointed. | Biscuits, not cookies |
Everyone gave these treats rave reviews, so I thought I would give them a try. I have two cats, one who is very picky and one who will eat just about anything I give her, even other breath fresheners that the other cat doesn't care for. I assumed that at least one would take the bait. Both cats completely snubbed these things. Sniffed at and walked away cold. I broke one in half in case the inside might reveal more aroma. Nothing. I know all cats have different tastes, but it's a little weird that I got no reaction at all, not even a reconnaissance lick. Oh well. | Untouched by disappointed cats |
I have tried many different types of Mate over the last few years. Flavored, unflavored, with herbs, with sweeteners, roasted, and organic. This is the first "Unsmoked" Mate that I can recall having tried and it has turned out to be the strangest Mate yet. My taste buds really hated me for sticking with this Mate. I can now say that the bag is finished, the damage is done, but man it really is bad tasting Mate. I gave this stuff and fair try and thought maybe it would grow on me, but like hell! This stuff tastes more like dirt and hay than it does Mate! As for why the taste is off, it is difficult to say what is actually going on. It is entirely different from the traditional taste of Mate. The bad taste has nothing to do with it being "Organic", that much I know. I've tried several "Organic" brands and this is the only one Ive had a problem with. I toyed with the idea that it may be a bad batch, but I know that's not the case as I've bought two bags of this stuff and it's the same taste. The only obvious problem with this Mate is it being unsmoked. So if you are looking to buy that traditional tasting Mate, look elsewhere. And another problem, perhaps, is a simple issue of it not being aged long enough? I don't know. I've heard that two years is the ideal length of time, but really don't know much about the subject of aging Mate. Anyways, I looked on the website for any information on how long it is aged but found nothing.As for recommendations on other Mate, and really I suggest finding another brand, here are some brands worth looking into; Titrayju (highly recommended), Roapipo (a personal favorite), Taragui, Cruz de Malta, Amanda, Nobleza Guacha, and Rosamante.Rosamante, Cruz de Malta, and Taraqui are all found on Amazon I believe. Good luck! | Not My Cup of Tea! |
Guys:Although the price recently went up, I received this 4-pack for $12 shipped (using Subscribe and Save and an Amazon clipless coupon). Although it has a very high concentration of robusta beans (60 or 70%) instead of the market-favored arabica beans (40 or 30%), it's the robusta beans which produce such an excellent creamy and rich crema, from both my stove-top espresso maker and my Nespresso machine (I fill my own home-made capsules with this brand...see Ne-Cap Nespresso® Compatible Refill Capsules ), and the espresso is absolutely perfect. No bitterness, just rich, dark and flavorful. Would buy again if it goes on sale (the Amazon price is still better than NYC supermarkets which sell one pack for $4.75), | While I prefer the red Lavazza for a drip machine, this is perfect for my espresso needs..... |
To me, this "mocktail" was disappointing. It tastes bitter and has an aftertaste. If you enjoy margaritas, do yourself a favor and get a good bottle of Tequila (silver), some Triple Sec, Lime Juice and agave (for sweetener), and ice. Use a blender and make a REAL margarita. Better yet, a pitcher of margaritas. Drinking "mocktails" is like a beer drinker drinking an O'douls and pretending he's drinking a good quality beer. If you don't like alcohol go get yourself some Crystal Light. Same thing. Don't think this is gonna taste like a margarita; it doesn't. | Doesn't taste like a Margarita |
This yummy little baked confection was truly delicious. Although, a little pricey. Sometimes it's nice to splurge for an alternative sweet, especially when you have celiac disease. | Yummy gluten free! |
I was dissapointed in the tea. I have tried many Twinning Teas and other Oolong Teas and this just did not come close to another brand that was not available through Amazon. | Twinngs China Oolong Tea |
My family has been using these for close to ten years. We love them. They're just plain pinto beans w/o a bunch of additives. The flavor of the beans themselves is good - sometimes amazing (quality varies, but they've never been bad, just sometimes they're epic...).We heat them with added water, Celtic sea salt, and a little organic sunflower oil mixed in.Recently when our store was out of these we tried a few other brands (Rosarita Vegetarian, Amy's Organic, and Eden) and YUCK. I thought all the others we tried were exceptionally gross. The added ingredients in the other brands disagreed with us. These may be plain beans, but that's a major part of what's great about them - I choose how to flavor them.The only way these could be improved is if Bearitoes switches to BPA free cans. | Favorite Refried Beans |
The taste does have a hint of passion fruit, but more sweet than fruit. If you like a `fruity' tea without the heavy doses of fruit flavor then this could work for you; unless you do not like pulps. You cant avoid the pulp texture in every gulp and what is a little interesting is the suspension of these pulps even when the bottle is rested for a while: real fruit related drinks you will find the heavier pulps separate and sits in the lower half of the container. For the conscious eater, I am unlikely to purchase this item as part of my healthier eating plan, but rated on the ability of the drink to provide a `refreshing' sensation, then it does the trick. | Tasted the passion fruit, had the pulps, and had the refreshing effetc, but.. |
Did not have enough experience yet to confirm health benefits of the berrries. Eating berries 1 to three tea spoons daily do not seem to have any side affects. The beneficial effects of the berries, if any, remain to be seen. | Tibetian Goji Berries |
Very surprised. Expected it to be thicker. My 8 month olds are not pickey eaters but they refused to close thier mouths while this food was is there. I would try it from babies r us before buying in bulk here. | the boys who eat everything won't eat it! |
I hadn't seen this in California but was visiting family in Georgia and had to pick up a box & try it. Can't recommend it. I enjoy dozens of great pumpkintreats over the holidays and this one, prepared with 2 percent milk not whole milk needs to go back to the drawing board. I found classic turtle, seasonal flavorto try next. Wish me well. . . . | odd. tastes too salty. something's wrong here |
My 10-month-old really likes her Mango Baby Brekkie, and who could blame her! I tried it myself, and it's very yummy! Plus, I can feel good about giving it to her for breakfast because it's organic, nutritious, and has no added sugar, unlike many other brands of similar baby food items on the market. This product is a nice way to give my little-one a healthy combination of foods -- organic mango puree, yogurt and brown rice cereal -- in one neat package, without the need to open/peel and mix the all the ingredients by hand! A great option for busy households during the morning "rush." | Yummy, organic, and baby loves it! |
my gfcf kid really likes it and I don't suffer junk food guilt when I toss him a bar instead of making something from scratch:-) | guilt free snack |
I really wanted to like these... but alas, they don't measure up. Chocolate is not really good, not crunchy but not fudgy either. Sort of like eating wet cardboard. Sorry. I wish they were better. | Gooey but not good |
Wow. I am a bona fide junkie for Torani Caramel, but this trio of bottles has left a bad taste in my mouth. It is unlike any of the dozens of bottles I have enjoyed this flavor from. My coffee tasted like . . .scrap paper. I tried a glass instead of plastic cup. I tried vanilla soy milk, very vanilla soy milk, plain soy milk. Iced, hot, two pumps, four pumps, a swig straight from the bottle even! There is absolutely no conclusive info about this version of the product, and I find it hard to believe that Torani (which consistently produces a GREAT product)is totally behind this. So very disappointing. | Do Not Buy!! |
I fell for the pretty box at first, and I'm glad there is a more natural alternative to aspartame and even an alternative to Splenda. But Truvia is the most expensive stevia-derived sweetener I have found, and even though Truvia claims to be made from the sweetest part of the stevia plant, Stevia Supreme is sweeter (and cheaper). | Trendy, but not the best stevia |
This has been my favorite tea to make iced tea for quite some time. It's rich, creamy and absolutely delightful.This vendor is absolutely supurb with some of the fastest shipping I've ever seen. | Awesome tea, great company to buy from. |
We have ordered this product before and love it. We put it on everything we grill, even shrimp and assorted vegetables (like mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes, summer squash, zucchini, onions, sweet potatoes ). Yum | taste of Greece |
Am very pleased with the candy. It arrived packaged well and intact. It is good that it is packaged in smaller fun-size packages within the large bag, as the boy whom I am giving it to, will beable to eat the candy in the smaller packages, without having the other candy spoil or get soiled. M&M's are a favorite candy, and it is good to know that the parent company cares enough about their customers to package the product in individual bags within a larger bag. | M&M's Fun Size Milk Chocolate Candy, 11 oz, pk of 6 |
This is the easy way to Christmas shop. Amazon even gift wraps even though it is already nicely packaged. I buy in bulk so I don't pay shipping. Everyone loves these Ferrero chocolates especially our mailperson. It's been a traditon. I gave it four stars because the price could be a little lower. | On my list |
I purchased these during an Amazon chocolate sale recently. They are really delicious and everyone in the family is enjoying them. I would purchase these again. | Fresh and delicious! |
I'm sorry but I gotta go with the "nasty" crowd here. The smell, oye...the look, well they kind of look like little intestines...the texture, pure rubber and sort of give you the feeling of biting thru stringy grissle. Cudos to the folks who can do them, I wish I could but there are some things I can't even do for zero calories. | Can't get past the texture |
Cafe Altura's French Roast is a very good coffee. Packaged in a sealed container, upon opening it you are met with an intense aroma of dark roasted coffee. The beans are uniform in size and properly prepared into a french roast; dark, oily, but not burnt. Using a french press, I enjoyed a cup and was pleased with the aroma and flavor which was strong, tangy, a hint of sweetness and not bitter. Overall, this is a very good french roast, especially considering the price. I had been enjoying a Nicaraguan Organic French Roast for the last few months costing approximately the same price per pound, and Cafe Altura is clearly a better prepared coffee. | A very good coffee |
I loved the price, too, until I realized I can buy it cheaper at our Local Target store. :( | I love this gum!! |
I bought the 6.1 ounce jar off the grocers shelf for around $7 for quite some time.Now, THANK YOU NESCAFE ! ! Amazon is the only one that carries it @ $130 a jar ! ! !Come on, get real.....This is absurd pricing.I will no longer buy this product, I don't like the stick packaging. | OVERPRICED ! ! |
I was very excited to try this. I brewed it 3 ways: vacuum, press, drip.This a relatively fine grind. I'd call it the finest limit of drip coffee. Beyond that, we're getting into espresso territory.Against my better judgement, I tried it in my French Press. The fine particles plug up the steel mesh making the plunger difficult to press. The finer particles got into the brew. There was a very thick sludge at the bottom of the cup. Flavor-wise, it was intense but not bad. There was a slight bitter taste and a silky texture which I suspect was from the dust in suspension. So I ran it through a cone filter. The resulting brew was still intense but lost all of the vanilla aroma. The texture was too thin. It basically became a better than average cup of "diner coffee". Easy to drink, dark & tasty, but nothing to write home about.I expected great results from the vacuum brewer. While brewing, it filled the kitchen with vanilla, but when I tasted the coffee, there was only a hint of it. I don't think it brewed long enough to pick up the vanilla, or maybe it was so hot the vanilla vaporized rather than dissolve. In any case, the final product was only slightly better than the pressed-then-filtered coffee above. Not recommended.Surprisingly, the best results came from my drip machine. I used the freebie Gevalia gave me with membership (yeah, I'm a sucker for free stuff). I'm drinking the stuff now as I write this review and it's exceptional. I only used 2 Tbsp to 6 servings of water and the taste is just about right. It has a rich mouth-feel, a fair amount of vanilla aroma, a robust coffee taste.I've bought and tasted flavored coffees before and have come to the conclusion that most of the manufacturers are just masking cheap, dry, tasteless coffee with deceptively sweet aromas. Those coffees rarely taste like coffee and never taste like the additional flavor, which is why I call them "scented coffee" rather than "flavored coffee". So color me jaded. But the stuff from my drip machine actually TASTES LIKE VANILLA! And maybe my mind is playing tricks on me, but I'm getting a hint of ice-cream too! I'm drinking it black, no sugar so it's pretty fascinating.BOTTOM LINE: When brewed 2:6 in an average #4 drip coffee-maker, you get a delicious coffee treat with the usual Starbucks buzz to brighten up your work-day. | raises the bar for scented coffee |
My husband was delighted to find this brand on Amazon. There was one store chain in our area that carried it and they closed. He likes it because it comes from areas that are not know for mercury. I really like it because less water comes off when you drain it, which means more fish. This is our 2nd case. We will continue to buy it since it is a bit cheaper to buy by the cases of 48 cans. Plus the convenience of delivery. | Buy tuna, not water |
I ordered this coffe directly from The Bean Coffee Company using a Groupon and have been profoundly disappointed. When I was shopping and ordering their website said 1.25 lb bags, but I was only shipped 12 oz bags and now the website has changed. I can't even get someone from the company to contact me. In addition to this, the coffee lacks the depth of flavor I expect with espresso and it leaves a very bad aftertaste in my mouth. I would not recommend ordering! | Unethical company and bad beans! |
The truffle "essence" on the label is a synthetic compound manufactured in a laboratory to mimic the smell of real truffles. If that is what you want, cool. But you should know what you are really buying. This is really more of a truffle perfume. No actual truffles were used to make this product. I find the deceptive labeling on this product to be very offensive. I wouldn't buy it just because of that.I am getting negative comments from someone that are rather interesting. They say they called Urbani a different company, and that Urbani told them that their product is made with real truffles and therefore my review is wrong. Here is the direct quote from the person: "I actually contacted Urbani, who is one of the leading purveyors of truffles. They assured me that their truffle oils are pure natural products derived only from truffles."First of all, La Tourangelle and Urbani are different companies and totally unaffiliated. So it is entirely irrelevant what Urbani said about their product. Second, I'm not sure I would believe what a salesperson tells me to begin with.As to the person's claim that the ingredients list for La Tourangelle says extract--it used to say aroma. I find it very suspicious that the label changed from saying aroma to extract. It seemed obvious to me something funny was going on so I just called the Food and Drug Administration and the customer service representative specifically told me that the FDA "has never defined extract." In other words, the FDA has not legally said this is what an extract is so anything can legally be called an extract, including chemicals synthetically manufactured in a laboratory that did not come from the actual product. So if a company calls something an extract when it is not, the FDA has no ability to do anything about it. So a regular person like you or I may believe that an extract is something made from the actual product, but the FDA has never defined it as such. I can mix two chemicals in a laboratory and call them gold extract because extract is not defined.In other words, the company is now back to trying to trick you again by using the term extract knowing that you will believe that means that extract means something actually taken from a real truffle, but it does not mean that at all. Please, anybody with common sense--do you really think that La Tourangelle changed their label to say extract instead of aroma because their manufacturing process has changed or do you think that they just did that because they can legally get away with it and it will trick some people into thinking the product is something it isn't because they know they can do it since there are no laws against that? | Consumer beware--there is no actual truffle in the making of this product |
I am a tea lover, and have found rooibos, with the bonus of vanilla flavouring, to be a pleasing alternative to other decaffeinated products. Normally, unless one loves weak herb teas, decaffeinated tea has barely any flavour. The richness of rooibos is enjoyable, and the vanilla essence is a lovely combination.I would caution those who, like myself, prefer strong teas that rooibos is of very light strength. I found I needed to use two sachets per cup, and steep them for ten minutes, for the blend to be satisfying. | Tasty alternative in decaffeinated teas |
Overall a very good gift. I sent it back to my family just as a mid season gift and they enjoyed it immensely. Recomended. | A good gift |
Was trying to order Tang orange drink but costs, with shipping, were higher than previous order. So, I ordered this product thinking it was just packaged differently. My error! No picture or description was available. Not the same Tang powdered drink I was familiar with. More like a weak lemonade if you use only a scoop or two. Need to use at least three teaspoons of powder to get any kind of taste. Product okay, especially if heated up in the microwave. Product would probably be okay if you need to make a large volume of beverage -- but you have to use a lot of product to get any taste. Will not order this particular product again. | Not the Tang I remember as a child |
I was so excited to see GF chicken noodle soup. It's one of the "regular" foods that I've missed. Unfortunately this "soup" is terrible. The noodles were a very strange consistency (this coming from someone who has tried a LOT of GF noodles). The chicken was more like mystery meat, and there was very little of it. The overall broth didn't even taste good. I had a few bites, and literally dumped the rest down the sink. Don't waste your money. | Terrible taste, fakey pasta |
