Gourmet Treat! Black Beluga Lentils
If you like lentils, you will love the Black Beluga Lentils. They maintain texture and taste wonderful! I add a little garlic, chopped onion and green pepper after the lentils are cooked, and sometimes mix with chickpeas (garbanzos). | 1positive

Poor packaging
I read reviews that criticized the packaging. All of the tops were off the containers. Even though all of the containers were sealed in a carton, I chose to return the order. | 0negative

Not worth the price...buy fresh localy if you can.
I tried these and must say they are not a very good deal for the money. I even got a response from the seller (although no offer to refund my money). Look for a local seller and save your money and taste buds for fresh. | 0negative

A Great Product
I have tried many mashed potatoes products, including the major brand Potato Buds and nothing compares with this product. In addition to its taste, which is excellent, it is extremely convenient. All you have to do is boil water and add the mix to it. Other brands ask for salt, butter and milk. I highly recommend this product to anyone who likes garlic flavor in their mashed potatoes. If not, then buy the Buttery Homestyle flavor made by the same company. | 1positive

Awesome, healthy cracker
I think these crackers are wonderful!! I love the individual packages as they are great for on-the-go and portion control. I am a personal trainer and recommend these to everyone. They are high in fiber, low in carbs, and have a wonderful flavor. The bonus is they are organic & don't contain processed foods...all whole grains & essential fatty acids. What more could you ask for!! | 1positive

If you like it buy it, but dont waste your money to try it
This stuff im sure is fine for people who are used to the taste of coconut water. Otherwise if your not used to it and just want to try something new, stay away. Its very bland and tastes like water with a few drops of coconut milk in it. To be frank im not sure why someone would even buy this. There may be other uses for it. I have found the only use is having a few sips and throwing it right in the garbage can. Ick. | 0negative

good whole wheat pasta in convenient boxes
I'm not extensively experienced in the matter of whole wheat pasta, but within my judgement, this is good stuff. I've been fully content with the taste, and the texture.And notice, it's from Italy, the true home of expert pasta.The AMZN price seems pretty good. After the discount when they ran the grocery promo, it came out to just barely over $1/box. A box makes for an ample amount, at that.One particular feature I like in this product is the box packaging. Receiving a whole case, it's satisfying to be able to get these stacked in neat, clean rows in a kitchen cupboard. (In contast, dealing with a big number of unwieldy bags of pasta makes for a really clumsy filing predicament.) | 1positive

Cookie and cream separation
My only complaint is that the cookies I ordered on June 19, 2010 are separated from the cream. I love the taste, but I have to piece together the cookie with the cream in order to eat it. One side of the cream is attached to a cookie and the other side is not. I shouldn't have to piece the cookie together in order to eat it. This may have been the result of a bad batch of cookies, or perhaps occurred during shipping--in any case, I am reluctant to re-order them. | 0negative

lentils
These were very good lentils. We had fun mixing the different colors - though they cook up pretty much the same color they do have a bit of different tastes. | 1positive

Really good lentils
Lentils are one of the oldest cultivated products. There are about 35 varieties of lentils available commercially. I really like this variety.I thought that they would cook-up to be blacker rather than brown but I was mistaken. I used a really simple recipe to compare them to other lentils:6 cups low sodium chicken broth1 cup lentils1 bay leaf1 finely diced onionCook it until the lentils start to break and you're good to go. Compared to other lentils, I found these to taste (but not look) better. | 1positive

What a discovery for the casual paella maker!
I first heard about fish sauce from Giada De Laurentiis. She took a break from the 'Everyday Italian' to do some Thai food. Based on what she said, it seemed that Fish Sauce could be an easy proxy substitute for Anchovies in almost any simple application.I personally dislike anchovies, and don't like working with them. With that said, their particular glutamic acids are essential to the flavor certain recipes... like Cuban Paella or Puttanesca sauce. I decided to purchase some in the hopes that I could forget about wasting half-full tins of anchovies for odd recipes I rarely make.Wow! This sauce is pretty spectacular. I think it has a lot more punch and much better flavor than mere anchovies, so use sparingly, but use often. I am now planning to try a lot of anchovy recipes that I was formerly avoiding. No reason to avoid them now.Try combining this with Sesame Chili oil for a real flavor booster. | 1positive

pelican
I must admit I am only reviewing this because I thought this was "Laxami's Delights Sweet Spiced Roasted Pelicans" at first!! I did not know they cooked and bagged pelicans!But roasted pecans are good. Protein and omega-3! I know I am like your fat aunt, but here are some benefits."Just a handful of pecans contains vitamin E, calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc and fiber, as well as antioxidants. Antioxidants are substances found in foods that protect against cell damage and, studies have shown, can help fight diseases like heart disease, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and cancer." | 1positive

FANTASTIC!
This is truly a great versatile mix. Substituting oil for butter and rice milk for regular milk works out perfect. Using orange juice for the milk makes great pancakes and muffins as well. The options are endless for muffins- our favorite is adding a bit of cinnamon and GFCF chocolate chips. I also sneak in small amounts of light colored pureed veggies (baby food). | 1positive

Expiration date 11/06, but still stale!
I was very disappointed in this product. I wanted to use them for snacks and pie crusts, but they are too stale to use. They are NOT crunchy as advertised since moisture has definitely entered through the packaging. Unfortunately Amazon will not let me return them, so I'm out $20. I was going to try some other products by this brand, but now I will not. | 0negative

Popcorn seasoning
We like the popcorn with the Wabash Valley Farm popcorn seasoning since we have learned to put just the right amount on it. When we first used it, we were very disappointed because it was too salty. We tried it again, used less and now really enjoy our popcorn with it. | 1positive

Stops the disrupting sleep wakeups!
Works as advertised. It took a weeks and 2 days of drinking qty(2) eight(8) ounce cups dailybefore I felt the rewarding effects of this tea. From getting up every 2 hours, to now onceper night; I would say that this tea stops the problem of waking to pee during the night.I am maintaining the effects with drinking a single 8oz cup daily, now.I am happy with this product and also that it is all natural!! | 1positive

Disappointing
With a name like Wolfgang Puck, I took a chance and ordered a case of this soup, thinking it would be at least as good as Cambells or Progresso. I'm disappointed. The soup has a gooey consistency and the predominating flavor notes are #1 salt and #2 dill. When my partner walked into the room before seeing the soup he said "it smells like dog food in here, what are you cooking?" and that was sort of the final straw. There are better options out there. I haven't tried any other flavors and don't plan to -- it's too bad that Amazon doesn't sell a case of assorted soups so you can try several and then order a case of the one you like the best. | 0negative

Loved it and felt extremely full.
After having bought a curry Roux pack from Walmart which was purely horrible my wife and I were hesitant to try again, but we eventually gave in and tried this Roux. It was simply awesome! Were did ours with Stewing Beef and poured it over short grain Asian rice (I used sushi rice actually because I have a personal love of it) and I couldn't eat enough. Even my pregnant wife ate half of her serving (Which is a lot for her at this point). We intend to have it again with chicken and one pack makes enough for dinner the next night ala leftovers. | 1positive

Pricey, but the best
I've been using this for many years. The price keeps rising, but we only use it as a finishing salt, so overall, it's small potatoes. A truly wonderful salt...but, get a good grinder for it. (p.s. I use a Kyocera grinder) | 1positive

Not many good things you can say about this soup
1. Package is too small - if I compare a package to a tea bag, then you need 2 packs to make one cup of soup for a light snack (for the record, I am not even a big eater)2. Taste wise, it is a so-soI do not think I will be buying this again | 0negative

Favorite cereal of all, wheat and no-wheat
This cereal is wonderful! It has almost everything I like in a cereal, including 1) it is delicious, 2) it fills me up (not a lot of puffy air), 3) I feel good after I eat it, 4) it's organic, and 5) it doesn't have wheat or gluten. Buying it via Amazon, it is also affordable (about $3.65/pound, compared to $4.69/10-oz box at the nearest health food store (90 miles away), which is about $7.50/pound). The ONLY thing I don't like about it is that it MAY contain peanut, and my wheat-allergic daughter is also deathly allergic to peanut. So, she can't eat it. I can and I do. She's jealous, because she started eating it and ate a couple of bites before she read where it might contain peanut, and she (picky, picky, picky eater) loved it. Please Please Please would someone at Nature's Path figure out how to eliminate the peanut? Anyway, if you're not allergic to peanut, try it. I definitely prefer this to any other cold cereal I have ever tried, period. | 1positive

tastes like rubber..
I was delighted to have dried mushrooms that I could use for cooking. They tasted like rubber...tough and awful. This is the first bad review I've ever written. But wanted to save the consumer.

Really Salty
Bought this item for my 22 month old and my 6 year old to snack on. Neither of the them would touch it after taking the first bite. I tried it to see what the issue was and it was very salty. We are not conservative sodium consumers, so that is not the issue. It's the 350 mg of sodium per serving that is the problem. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. I have nearly 4 boxes left of this sitting in my pantry with no one in my family wanting to eat it. I really wanted to like this product because it made it easy to shop for snacks my kids would like online and have it shipped. | 0negative

The Best
Stash Mint Tea is my favorite mint tea because the strength of the tea is preserved and enhanced by being packaged in the individual packets. It seems to have more flavor when it is protected from the air. I really enjoy drinking it in the morning. It helps with my digestion and calms my various stomach issues. | 1positive

Expected Better
I love Twinings Irish Breakfast teabags, but wanted to try the loose leaf tea to use in my new teapot. I was very disappointed when I received it to find that the loose tea looked like instant coffee & a lot of the tea leaves ended up in my cup. My teapot has small slits in the infuser but the tea was so fine that it washed out into the teapot. I was expecting better from Twinings. | 0negative

Yum
This is my third box of the cherries. I love putting a handful on my cereal in the morning. They are very sweet and just a bit tart. They are also great in salads and make a awesome muffin.I will say that there seems to be some seasonal variation. One of the three boxes I received wasn't quite as tart/sweet as the other two. They were still very good but not "as" good. | 1positive

Taste great
This mix is the best mix we have found for shrimp. So easy, just shake it on after you grill your shrimp and it makes the shrimp "pop" with flavor. I like to shake mine on my plate and dip my shrimp in it. A little goes a long way. | 1positive

Really happy that I found canned salmon with skin & bones!!
I am really happy to have found this salmon that contains bones & skin. The bones are cooked and easy to eat and digest. My doctor actually recommended I eat this product because it's the best thing to eat when you have osteoporosis like I have. This product is very rich in calcium because it contains the bones and skin. I tried eating sardines but I really didn't like them but I actually like this salmon. More women should eat this! | 1positive

Not my cup of Cocoa
Very bitter! I couldn't taste the coffee at all. It basically tastes like baking cocoa. No sweetness, no richness, not coffee. I bought the 4 pack though, so I've begun mixing it half and half with Swiss Miss (in the can), and then sprinkling it with instant coffee after I've made a cup. Even making it with whole milk couldn't make this yummy by itself. If you like a rich chocolate taste with just a bit of coffee.... shop elsewhere. | 0negative

Crispy Green's freeze-dried apple chips tasted much better
Amazon also carries Crispy Green's freeze-dried apple chipsCrispy Green's Fruit Snack, which tasted much better than this bake-dried one. Also freeze-dried keeps 90% of the original nutrition, while the bake-dried burns most of it. As a health product I would prefer the former. The only problem with Crispy Green's apple chips is "Good but Expansive" as one of its customer review puts it. As far as I know freez drying is very energy consuming. Now I found another product dried by a new drying method tasted just as good but the price is only half of Crispy Green's. | 0negative

Beware--Needs Recall--Unusually high in carcinogens; babies among most at risk
In late 2012 Consumer Reports published results of arsenic levels it found in samples of 200 rice products.Inorganic arsenic is a known carcinogen. Rice is also currently considered a significant source of environmental arsenic for humans, ranging from 17% (2009-10 EPA study) to the main cause of over half of the total environmental exposure, which is attributed to cereals according to a "more complete" study by the European Food Safety Organization (CR 2012).This is not a new issue. Most of what I've seen online about baby cereals and arsenic have cited inorganic arsenic content PER SERVING and concludes that you should limit yourself and your baby to one serving per day. Among the four baby products CR tested, Earth's Best Organic Whole Grain Rice infant cereal had the highest average levels of inorganic arsenic--ALMOST DOUBLE (193%) the average arsenic in the other three brands (Beech-Nut Homestyle Cereal, Gerber Rice, Gerber SmartNourish).I was late to read this report, and when I did, I looked at a pdf containing detailed results of the tests before I noticed a chart at the end of the article published online.What I was startled to find in the detailed data is something not reflected in the more popularly-viewed chart, which lists inorganic arsenic content in rice per serving rather than in parts per billion.When I compared the 32 uncooked rice brands CR tested and the 4 infant cereals, I found that the inorganic arsenic (the kind that causes cancer) in Earth's Best brown rice cereal is not only the highest among the 4 baby cereals, but it ranks as the FOURTH highest in inorganic arsenic concentration, gram per gram of rice, among the other 32 products.In parts per billion, the highest levels of inorganic arsenic were in:#1: Della Basmati Brown,Average inorganic arsenic in ppb: 179.66#2 365 Everyday Value Long Grain Brown (Whole Foods)Average inorganic arsenic in ppb: 176.67#3 Carolina Whole Grain Brown,Average inorganic arsenic in ppb: 164.33#4 Earth's Best Organic Whole Grain Rice CerealAverage inorganic arsenic in ppb: 152#5 Jazzmen Louisiana Aromatic Brown,Average inorganic arsenic in ppb: 149The old news is that brown rice is known to be higher in arsenic content than white rice, and this was shown in the CR data.The good news is that you can reduce the arsenic content of rice by about 30% if you wash it first and cook it using 6 parts of water to 1 part of uncooked rice. This is great, but it only applies to the uncooked rice products. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to mitigate the arsenic that is in baby cereal.If you were to prepare your uncooked rice according to the CR and FDA recommended methods, you will see that Earth's Best Organic Whole Grain Rice Cereal for infants jumps into the number ONE spot as having the highest average inorganic arsenic contamination in parts per billion. (This is assuming that organic and inorganic arsenic are removed at the same rate.)AFTER WASHING AND COOKING WITH EXCESS WATER*:#1 Earth's Best Organic Whole Grain Rice Cereal*Average inorganic arsenic in ppb: 152#2: Della Basmati Brown,Average inorganic arsenic in ppb: 126.8#3 365 Everyday Value Long Grain Brown (Whole Foods)Average inorganic arsenic in ppb: 123.7#4 Carolina Whole Grain BrownAverage inorganic arsenic in ppb: 115#5 Jazzmen Louisiana Aromatic Brown,Average inorganic arsenic in ppb: 104.3* Unfortunately, you cannot reduce arsenic in baby cereal so it gets fed in totality to your baby or toddler.I bought a case of this cereal among other available brands after reading on its packaging that it is organic, non-gmo, and "grown without potentially harmful pesticides and herbicides."The arsenic in Earth's Best brown rice cereal is not only high b/c arsenic is higher in brown rice in general, it is higher than arsenic in other brown rice brands, particularly since there is nothing you can do to reduce it.If you have this product in your home and if you are using it as a first food, you can switch to other grains, but if you want to continue using rice due to allergen or other reasons (I fully understand), you are much better off feeding your child 15grams of any one of the other 32 brands of uncooked rice using the FDA recommended prep guidelines, and you will be feeding your child less inorganic arsenic, gram per gram of rice. Remember that the chart at the bottom of the online CR study lists arsenic PER SERVING, and the serving size for uncooked rice is 45g and for baby cereal, it is only 15g.If you feel you were mislead by Earth's Best's brown rice product, I urge you to contact your local stores to let them know about the arsenic in this product and to ask them to discontinue stocking it! If you care, please write to your local stores, take a moment to talk to the store manager, write a review online. Every time I see this product in stores, it makes me sad. I have more than half a case of unopened EB rice cereal and there is no way I would feed it to my son, nor is there any way I would give it away, knowing it will be eaten by another child or baby!I wrote to the company. They have not taken any responsibility for the high levels of arsenic in their cereal, nor have I found anywhere online where someone has raised the issue of comparing the absolute inorganic arsenic content of infant and uncooked rice in parts per billion, rather than in micrograms of arsenic per serving.If you have this product and would like to complain to the FDA, you can call your local coordinator. In the absence of a federal limit on arsenic levels in food, however, you can only complain about Earth's Best's inaccurate labeling on their package. The words, "Grown without Potentially Harmful Pesticides and Herbicides" appears on its label. EB does not ADD these harmful substances to its crops, however, research shows that much of the arsenic appearing in rice comes from pesticide residues IN THE SOIL that crops are grown on. "Organic" means that a producer does not ADD these substances TO THE CROP or soil.However, the high inorganic arsenic content in Earth's Best Organic Whole Grain Rice Cereal for infants suggests that the product WAS grown WITH potentially harmful pesticides IN THE SOIL. The statement "Grown WITHOUT" is a larger claim than the "organic" claim, which the company can support. Again, the arsenic concentrations in EB's brown rice cereal suggest the crop was indeed grown WITH arsenic-containing pesticides that got into the crop via soil and water used to grow the rice. If it wasn't grown with arsenic in the soil and then in the water, then the rice wouldn't contain such high levels of inorganic arsenic. This is common sense, and EB's labeling is inaccurate.If you call the FDA, you will need to state when you bought your product, where, how much is left, any effects you experienced (which for carcinogens does not happen for many years, so you should state that inorganic arsenic is a known carcinogen and that the FDA already knows this and it also already knows the levels of inorganic arsenic CR found in EB's infant cereal), and the expiration date, lot number, place of production, size of package, and bar code, all on the box.[...]I try to do what is best for my son on a day to day basis. Buying EB cereal was one of those things. I felt horrible, when I saw the CR pdf. I read it thinking EB's cereal was going to come out on top! I now cringe at my naive expectation. I immediately put the unused boxes in a bag for the trash, but I luckily kept it in the house long enough to have a box handy when I called the FDA. I feel so bad seeing something on store shelves that I believe is dangerous to feed my own child being marketed to other health-conscious moms trying to do the best for their babies.I wrote to Whole Foods and am awaiting a response. The Hain-Celestial group that makes EB cereal gave me a generic (auto) response. The FDA will tell you they are already addressing the issue and that no violations have occurred in the absence of a federal limit on arsenic in food. However, it remains that it is not on the FDA's radar that EB's packaging has untrue claims. Infant formulas are more highly regulated, but this cereal is not a formula, even though it is intended for infants. This is a serious issue that potentially falls through the cracks.Please feel free to share this post if you are supportive. Thanks. | 0negative

Traverse Bay Dried Cherries
I ordered two packages of cherries, one for myself and one for a family member at another address. The box of cherries delivered to my family member was stolen (through USPS) and I contacted Amazon.com as well as the US Post Office in their region and the package could not be found even with a tracking number. Amazon.com replaced the package with no questions asked and only charged me for the initial package that was stolen. I would use Amazon.com again and have since purchased other items. | 1positive

They ruined the perfect popcorn.
I'm a fairly fit guy but was so addicted to the original "made with LandoLakes" forumla that I ran 2 miles before every bag. Now that they've replaced the natural butter with artificial tar, I don't need to run because I end up vomiting. Don't be fooled and don't buy this popcorn. They changed the formula and the new stuff leaves a thick film on the roof of your mouth that takes steel wool to remove. Shame on this company for trusting the half-wits who decided fake butter was better than real. We're not dumb. We know the difference. Your popcorn went from the best stuff on the market to the biggest joke in my lower intestine. | 0negative

Great Senseo Blend
We purchased a Senseo coffee machine shortly after my son "borrowed" my Bunn coffee maker in March with the promise to get his own as he strolled out the door. Since I was the only person in the household drinking coffee regularly anymore instead of buying another Bunn and wasting half a pot of coffee every time I made a fresh pot of coffee, I thought I should at least look at the single cup coffee makers. I then promptly set off on a mission to find the coffee that "rocked my boat" given the fact that I was a sworn dunkin donut coffee drinker for years.I am not terribly fond of flavored coffees in general although they are nice to have on occassion, so I tried all of the Senseo coffees and eventually found that the Kenya Blend was the best of the lot given my individual taste for coffees.And then they came out with the breakfast blend. This makes a superb cup of coffee and it has effectively ended my murmurings for Dunkin Donut to get on board with Senseo and make a pod coffee just for the Senseo. Well ... maybe that is a slight exaggeration. I would still like Dunkin Donuts to team with Senseo and make a pod coffee but that only because I would like to have two superb coffee pods to chose from with one being the Senseo Breakfast Blend. | 1positive

Too big and too soft
I have to agree with the other reviewer that said they are just too big and too soft. They leave a slimy taste in the mouth, even though the flavor is good.

My first order of cherries was perfection. So moist and flavorful. Just delightful. I hurried and ordered a second shipment. I was so disappointed! The cherries are coated with a thin film of oil to keep them moist. Well, this time the oil was rancid. Yuck! So bad tasting. I really was surprised, since the first order had been perfect.I contacted Amazon and they are sending a replacement right out, no charge. So, we will see how this next box will be.I so hope it will be ok, since I really do love the cherries and plan to keep them on subscription to come at regular intervals.Did anyone else have this happen to them?I'm so sad about the box of wasted cherries.********************************************UPDATE: Happy to report that Amazon quickly sent a replacement box and it was perfect. So, I am happy with the cherries and will continue to order with confidence that they will replace any defective product. Thanks Amazon! | 1positive

very tasty
am a carb watcher, and even though these do not a lot of fiber, find a couple of them satisfying to have with a salad, or just a quick snack//like the fact that they are a whole wheat product | 1positive

worst taste ever
I had so much hope for this product. I had the hardest time getting the horrible bean taste out of my mouth. If you make the mistake of trying it, drink some milk. That's the only thing that help. Otherwise if you can have rice, look up a good simple recipe using rice flour. That's what I do now and they are wonderful. | 0negative

Crunchy Carbs for Gluten-Free Folks
When I found out I was gluten-intolerant I had a lot of functional foods to replace. As I began to search out and try what the health stores and groceries had to offer I ran into a lot of truly unappetizing products - and no really great ones.When it came to crackers, breads, or other easy-to-use holders of spreads and dips and sandwich makings, I quickly learned that the bread choices were worse than eating cardboard. So I began to explore the various crackers.Most were rice based. Some were spiced up with flavorings that tasted like chemicals. Others were limp or crumbly. Some were terribly bland.Then I discovered Sesmark Rice Thins.They are quite crunchy, with a satisfying snap to them, and while the Brown Rice flavor is not an exciting taste, it serves very well with all sorts of other foods: sesame tahini or nut butters; babaganous, hummus, olive tepenade, caponata, etc; also with butter or cream cheese. They are not too salty, but do have a some sea salt that is just right for me in these settings.I also like them by themselves. A snack of 5 of these (about 40 calories, half a gram of fat) is satisfying for the odd moment of feeling like eating carbs.In fact, their blandness keeps me from wanting more than I 'need'. Limiting myself to 5 works very well.I really love the taste of the Sesame flavor of these Rice Thins, and could eat a full package at one sitting. They don't need any toppings, though they take them well. Their crunch is slightly less snappy, still great. If you like sesame, these are a great choice, gluten-free or not. | 1positive

Wonderful gift or little treat for yourself!
My best girlfriend is crazy about ladybugs and has everything with ladybugs on it, but she didn't have these! I purchased them as a gift and they arrived in perfect condition in a very attractive clear topped (yet airtight) box that was simply adorable for presentation. | 1positive

Tastes Great
Received it today and smothered some baked pork chops. Sauces was tangy and tasty with no after taste. Will probably use this even after my low carb diet ends. | 1positive

Terrible Gum
There is no flavor to this gum & after 15 minutes, it was so hard, I had to toss it in the trash. I've been chewing this flavor gum for 65 yr. & never had a problem with it. Have they changed the formula on it or was it just defective? | 0negative

Disgusting
The one star I have given to Zico coconut water is actually a negative star. This stuff tastes absolutely awful. Plain and simple. Wouldn't take it home again if they were giving it away. | 0negative

Can't keep them from fallin' apart!
I tried these for a substitute for a sandwich roll, I couldn't cut them without falling apart! I ended up toasting them in pieces, more like chunks, and with enough cream cheese, they were only OK! Tapioca hamburger rolls are the only products I would recommend! | 0negative

It's Spree!
Um, it's spree... Lots of spree... Good for going to the movies... If you don't already know this maybe you should start smaller at 7-11. | 1positive

Not as good as, they use to be.
Last year we ordered this item, not in bulk, directly from Ener-G-foods, and they were great. Last year they arrived frozen, this time they arrived defrosted and not packed as well. The taste was bland and the texture was not as light and crispy. | 0negative

Love it!!
I love my new AeroGarden! I have been wanting to grow my own herbs at home, but I have no outdoor space. I know that herbs take a good deal of sunshine, but I don't have any windows where they would get adequate sun! I opted for the AeroGarden and I am glad I did! It arrived quickly even though it was backordered when I ordered it. It was very easy to assemble, and comes with extensive instructions. Just push in the herb pods, fill with water, add nutrients, and walk away. I set it up a week ago and all of the pods have sprouted and are growing quickly! It is very quiet (the instructions mentioned the sound of dripping, but I rarely notice it) though it is very bright when the lights are on. If I had a choice, I wouldn't have so many varieties of basil...but nonetheless, I can't wait to be able to start harvesting and using nice fresh herbs for cooking with my family! | 1positive

best buy
Finding spice cake mix at the grocery can be a hit or miss proposition. This is the perfect solution. It's a good price and eligible for "Prime" shipping. Packaging was perfect--grocer's display box inside a shipping box. I split the order with a neighbor, and now we both have just enough boxes to get us through the holiday season. Makes a great base for yummy pumpkin cookies!Easy pumpkin cookies:1 package spice cake mix, 1 egg, 2/3 cup pumpkin puree, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. (Optional: grated zest of 1 lemon, chopped nuts, or raisins.) Mix it all up, drop by tablespoons on oil-sprayed cookie sheet (or non-oiled parchment or silpat), 350 degree oven, 10-13 minutes. Add an extra minute if you are using silpat. These are good! | 1positive

Not for us!
I am always looking for quality nutricious treats for my teens. I bought the samplers to see if anyone had a favorite.Sorry to say that we just did not like any of these. A little too spicy and we were looking for crunch and got chewy. | 0negative

Awful
I luv Coconut water and have been drinking coconut water real fresh. My definition of FRESH here is within 60 seconds after the coconut is plucked from the tree.I do not expect anything close with any of the packaged 'FRESH' coconut water..But, this one from Zico is real crap..Its just like sweetened water with a drizzle of vinegar. Vita Coco is much much better. | 0negative

it sure is dark
If you like Dark bean coffee, I would think this is excellent. I'm more of a medium bean person. | 1positive

AWARE! The qualiy/taste is not consistent. Shipped from different farms.
We really loved the first batch. The dried cherries tasted organic and fresh. So we ordered second box and found it was shipped from a different farm because the inner package was different. Their product was loaded with SUGAR and tasted artificial and cheap. We are very reluctant to purchase any more from this company because of the inconsistency of the product! | 0negative

Delicious! Kind of hard, though
I thought these crackers were delicious. They had a rich flavor, and the pumpkin seeds were a nice touch. My only complaint was that they were very hard and I couldn't bite into them, I had to break them into pieces to eat them. Maybe I just have sensitive teeth? Regardless, I thought they were very satisfying and one cracker was a very nice snack for only 100 calories. | 1positive

Conveniently great coffee!
This is some very good coffee. I am very picky about my coffee, but this stuff was very nice, smooth, and never bitter.I was surprised by how good it tasted.Give it a shot. It's not as full-bodied as a nice freshly brewed cup of Peet's, but it will suffice for those early morning rushes to the office when you don't have time to stand in line behind 70 people on their cell phones ordering Venti Nonfat Mocha Lattes with organic whip cream made in Madagascar or some other pretentious American cup of crap made with 90% syrup, 10% coffee.If you want some no-nonsense java, this is a nice, fast way to go. | 1positive

Grandbabies love em
My grandchildren love these. Their faces just about light up when I pull out one of these cans. I do have to split it up though or they struggle, both want the can and all the wheels. | 1positive

yum
Very nice clotted cream! Perfect on warm baked goods. Came ahead of time, packaged well. Expiry date is pretty soon, only complaint, but will use it up by then. | 1positive

Good but not a fix
The slim fast drink is supposed to be just that, a replacement meal with a sensible dinner, and fast! However how can one expect to be satisfied by a drink, instead of lunch or breakfast? If your trying to lose weight, it might be best to wait until your used to eating "less" because just cutting out two meals a day right off the bat, is neither healthy nor easy.On the bright side, the drink doesn't taste bad, it does leave an after taste of vitamins but its masked by the flavor mostly.I'm going to choose to continue eating healthy instead of cutting out meals. This drink is nearly 200 calories, its convenient for people on the go with no time to make breakfast, but if you have time, eat egg whites with peppers and onions or whatever else you may want in there is nearly half the calories and twice as filling! | 1positive

Bags O' Salt with chips added.
I don't know if it was the case of chips we received or what, but everyone we allowed to sample the chips (in a buffet style setting) agreed that these were slightly on the salty side.One person jokingly stated that these would be terrific for melting ice and snow, due to the amount of salt in these.We had ordered these with the expectations that these would be similar to the Lay's Kettle Mesquite Potato Chips, but these Kettle brands outback bbq chips are the exact opposite.Sorry folks, we just had better expectations from these chips but they a little on the on the salty side.We are still looking forward to Amazon finally getting the Lay's Kettle Mesquite Potato Chips in stock.These got a 2 star, because the bbq powder they had used on these were flavorful enough to be unique. | 0negative

This WAS a great product
I have been using the full line of Lipton's Green Tea to Go for a couple of years now, and just love it. Have also turned countless friends onto it as well. Love the benefits of green tea, being able to avoid soda...and that it is sweetened with Splenda. Splenda was the primary reason for chosing the Lipton line. But NOW all that has changed and Lipton has made the decision to switch to Aspartame...which doctors tell you to avoid if you experience headaches. Aspartame is not very good for us, folks...but it must be cheaper. (Google it and see what you find!) Lipton has fallen out of brand loyalty for me and it is a window into their practices that they would switch to a lesser, more controversial ingredient. I'm sure there is plenty of marketing spin they can site for this reason, but facts are facts. I'm told by friends that Jackie Chan has a line worth checking out, now that it's Lipton no more for me. | 0negative

Bad beef jerky
I agree with Michael Whitney from Seattle. The beef jerky tasted ok but was tough as leather to chew on. I won't be buying this brand of beef jerky again. | 0negative

I've had some entirely adequate experiences with this quinoa, and was able to ignore the odd uncomfortable crunch. But after cracking a tooth, I decided to just throw the rest out. | 0negative

Tastes Very Strong and Harsh
BIG DISAPPOINTMENT !!!!! I'm so glad that Amazon makes GOOD on BAD product. I had to return after I got sick from drinking it.There was no mfg. date on can as indicated, this could have been the problem too.Maybe I got a bad batch, but this is horrible!!! | 0negative

false advertising
This product was suppose to be caramel flavored. It had so much coconut oil that is overpowered any other taste or smell. Ended up throwing it out, couldn't stand to have it in the house | 0negative
