114,500 | The chocolates were really good and sent in really good condition. I really enjoyed them. I haven't had the version available in the UK but this is pretty close to the Cadburys I'm used to from India |
114,501 | This coffee is extremely weak. It lacks flavor, like drinking a cup of hot water, yuck! Not what I expected from Green Mountain and the name "Nantucket Blend". |
114,502 | This is just simply a great product-tasty and healthy-a winning combination! plus kosher!! Unfortunately it is so good that I really must limit myself and be cognizant of portion size. HURRAH! I really enjoy this snack! |
114,503 | This is the first time a product has been so bad, I actually took a photo of the microwaved result so I could show my friends. The noodles looked like bloated invertebrates, and the color of the microwaved concoction prior to stirring drew the word "burned" to my brain. After stirring, it looked like a dull brown color, perhaps a weak gravy sauce rather than the reddish-toned sauce one usually sees when this dish is properly prepared, and not even the peanuts could liven up the sad tone and posture of the dish. I wondered where the food came from that was photographed for the box cover - it certainly was nothing like what came inside the box. Looking at the results, I had NO desire at all to taste it, but knowing I would probably post a review somewhere, I dutifully chewed on a spoonful.
I've had decent-tasting items from this company before, so I hoped the taste would not reflect the awful appearance of the food. Sad to say, it tasted even worse than it looked. There was no real flavor to speak of, and something in me felt uneasy about the idea of consuming any more of the stuff. I am not one to waste food ever, but I felt no remorse on throwing this product away because it really didn't fit my idea of "food". My one regret is I can't remember which local store victimized me by selling it to me, or I would have taken the entire thing back and demanded a refund. |
114,504 | Well, this is definitely an energy drink that served my purpose well. I just needed something to give me some energy to go work out, because at the time, I was very tired. When I drunk this, it gave me the energy to get up and go work out. The flavor wasn't too bad. It tasted like a typical energy drink. |
114,505 | This product is called "Hunmatsu-RyokuCha," in Japanese, and not the same as "Maccha" or "Matcha."
The translation for Hunmatsu Ryokucha and Maccha are actually the same, green tea powder.
However, the ingredient for Maccha is a special kind of tea called "Tencha," in Japanese, and has unique "Umami."
"Tencha" is grown in the shade in order to prevent the final product from developing certain astringent bitterness, called "Shibumi," in Japanese. There are many kinds of bitterness. i.e. For Maccha, it is not necessary true that bitterness is bad. Actually, the first grade Maccha is more bitter than the low grade Maccha, given you are comparing amongst REAL Maccha powder.
The process of producing REAL Maccha is much more complicated and painstaking than Hunmatsu-Ryokucha.
Hunmatsu-Ryokucha is ground regular Sencha Green Tea that are casually served all over Japan in regular household. (Sorry, I am struggling with English.) But one must understand that the kind of tea plants, the way they grow the tea plants, the way they process the tea leaves, are all different, not only in Japan, but also in any countries.
(If you can read Chinese Characters...) Hunmatsu-Ryokucha consists of 4 Chinese Characters, Hunmatsu means powder, Ryokucha means green tea; however, Maccha sonsists of two Chinese Characters. Maccha means special green tea powder intended for tea ceremony. And we, Japanese, don't drink Maccha regularly. Most Japanese don't know a lot about tea ceremony either. (As most Japanese are not martial artists....)
In the United States, Asian Grocery Store sells both Hunmatu Ryokucha and Maccha. The real Maccha is usually in a nice tiny tin can, and the amount included is about 28g (about 1 oz), priced about 9 - 10 dollars each. I don't think that any country but Japan produces Maccha, but I might be wrong. However, if the green tea powder is produced in Taiwan, China, Korea,and other Asian countries, it is most likely to be Hunmatsu Ryokucha, NOT Maccha. The same product sold at this vendor is much cheaper at Asian Grocery Store since you don't have to pay for S/H.
The advantage of Hunmatsu-Ryokucha over Maccha is that the former has higher nutritional value, which I don't want to discuss in this site. But the cancer preventing effect in this cheap powder is higher than more expensive Maccha.
The disadvantage of Hunmatsu-Ryokucha over Maccha is of course, "Shibumi" (the closest direct translation is astringency.) That's why you may feel it is more bitter than Maccha. The powder is probably coarser than the Maccha.
You may use Hunmatsu-Ryokucha for baking and dessert making, in the same way as you use Maccha. But the flavor and taste are definitely different.
I have not tried Starbucks Maccha Latte. But I assume that they use the low grade Maccha powder since, amongst real Maccha, the low grade Maccha is less bitter than the premium quality Maccha for tea ceremony, I heard.
To conclude, if your purpose is to enjoy REAL Maccha flavor, you should not purchase this product.
But if your purpose is simply for your health, this product is better than Maccha. However, you should research availability and cost comparisons of Hunmatsu-Ryokucha products by actually going to the Asian Grocery Stores. You may get better price than this. (Actually, I am pretty sure that you get better prices locally.) Most Vietnamese owned grocery stores have Hunmatsu-Ryokucha in stock, not to mention Japanese and Korean owned grocers.
Also, Hunmatsu-Ryokucha is popular in Japan, too. Thus not all green tea powder imported from Japan is "Maccha."
If you want to buy the quality Maccha, you should find the Japanese Grocery Store (owened by Japanese) and ask specifically "Maccha" for tea ceremony. And if you are not satisfied, sign up for tea ceremony class taught by a tea ceremony master.
For the seller, one must not include "Matcha" or "Maccha" in the descriptions or titles, if the product was just "Hunmatsu-Ryokucha." As I wrote earlier, these two products share the same English Translation. So you can say, this is green tea powder, grounded green tea, powdered green tea. However, you must not even hint this is the same green tea powder that can be used for the formal Japanese tea ceremony. Simply, if you call this "Maccha" or "Matcha," you are lying. And you can be actually sued, and you will lose. Not only this seller, but I find many sellers are falsely including "Matccha" or "Matcha" for non-MATCHA GREEN TEA POWDER. So I believe this is just the innocent mistake. I encourage the sellers to correct their mistakes, though. |
114,506 | I have been drinking this product for four years now. I was initially looking for a dieter's tea that didn't act as a laxative. This tea tasted great, but unfortunately didn't help me lose any weight or suppress my appetite. It did, however, get rid of my acne and continue to keep me energized, which is why I'm still hooked! Name is deceiving, but still highly recommended. |
114,507 | I am allergic to wheat (not gluten, wheat). That makes it very difficult for me to bake. I can substitute the oat flour for wheat in most recipes and my family doesn't even notice the difference. If anything they think it tastes better. I serve it to guests and they rave! |
114,508 | Does not come close to peanut butter taste. Even added peanut favoring with NO success. Mixed with real peanut butter and achieved mild flavor. I GIVE THIS NO STARS, BUT CAN'T MAKE THAT ONE GO AWAY. |
114,509 | I love spam. But not many others do. So having it in this size pouch is perfect. It makes a nice sandwich, since it's about the size of a piece of bread. Another reviewer mentioned Hawaii. Yup, spam is very, very popular there, and is found in many flavors. This single-size portion of original flavor spam is large enough to make 2 "Hawaiian breakfasts" of fried spam, sliced warmed/fried pineapple and a croissant. And it is a good thickness to make spam musubi, a sushi roll made with spam, rice and seaweed that is often offered in Hawaii as a grab-and-go meal. Hmm, I see a spam sandwich for lunch today after all this spam talk. |
114,510 | This really does make a great latte. I am a big fan of Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts, and for the price of what a cup of this costs it is really worth it! It doesn't taste EXACTLY like Starbucks, but what do you expect for $1 or less per serving? Add a little sugar/splenda and you are good to go! |
114,511 | I'm not even a big fan of dark chocolate but these nuts are delicious! They are the perfect thing to snack on to help rid sweet cravings and they contain the same amount of fat/calories than the plain almonds. They don't even have added sugar! |
114,512 | These were perfect. They were the exact ones we wanted and came perfectly packaged. Nothing was melted or crushed. I was very pleased. |
114,513 | We like the taste and texture of these Mother's "thick" rolled oats - and they come in a smaller box, which is very convenient - in the cupboard or in the freezer. We buy the case regularly and freeze most of it. It cooks right up frozen and stays perfectly fresh in the freezer for a year or so. These oats cook up flakey or creamy, depending on how you cook them. More water, or milk, makes them creamier. Great for chewy oatmeal cookies, too! My folks call these oats "REAL old-fashioned oats!" They sure are a treat if you've never had them. Recommended! |
114,514 | Oh my goodness...I have an 11 year old pug/beagle mix that has been lethargic for about 3 years, wouldn't really play, had a dull coat no matter how much I groomed her, and has had itchy paws and armpits for a long time. I never knew that all of that crap was in the big name brand dog foods. I had always had her on Purina of some sort until I started doing research. I was blown away by what I read and quickly became obsessed with finding a better food without paying an arm and a leg. I refuse to pay more for my dogs food than for our own food. After researching about 30 different dog foods and prices and brands on different websites, I went with Canidae All Life Stages (chicken, turkey, lamb, and fish)via Amazon with free super saver shipping for both my 11 year old Puggle and my new 10 week old labrador retriever puppy. I haven't regretted the change or the purchase at all! I am absolutely thrilled. My 11 year old isn't nearly as itchy, has a crazy shiny coat now, and has ALL KINDS of energy to keep up with the puppy now! Also, the breeder of my new lab had her on Purina Pro Plan Large Breed so I switched her right away and even her coat looks so much better now and it's only been about 3 weeks. I can't wait to see the difference in the two of them over the next 3 or 4 months. They both did get a little bit constipated during the transition period from their old foods to the Canidae, but a little bit of canola oil for a few days drizzled over their breakfast and dinner fixed that until their bodies adjusted. Both are regular now with no problems. Also, during the transition, I couldn't get either of them to eat even one piece of their old food. They would both pick out the Canidae and gobble it up and then leave their old food in the bowl until they were later famished! It was funny to watch! Great product, great service, and will definitely continue to order the 44 lb bag via Amazon. The packaging was very very poor but that's a different issue. The box that the food was shipped in wasn't even big enough for the bag and the UPS driver brought me the food, with pieces of the box laying on top of the bag. Oh well, I'm still thrilled with the product!
UPDATE: SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, BOTH DOGS ARE STILL DOING FANTASTIC WITH THE CANIDAE FOOD! THE PUPPY'S COAT ACTUALLY SPARKLES LIKE I PUT GLITTER ON HER IN THE SUNLIGHT, IT'S CRAZY. THE PUGGLE IS ONLY SHEDDING A THIRD OF WHAT SHE USED TO AND THE ONLY THING THAT SHE EVER CHEWS ON IS ONE OF HER PAWS AND THE VET GAVE ME A SPRAY FOR THAT. I AM STILL THRILLED WITH THE FOOD AND WITH AMAZON'S PRICE AND THE FREE SHIPPING! |
114,515 | I love this tea. Drink it all year long, not just at holiday time. It has a sweet nutty vanilla taste and a touch of cinnamon. Order it by the 6 pack at a good price from Amazon. |
114,516 | I received my order almost completely ruined! Four out of six tubs were exploded open and all of them were covered in Fluff! I had better luck ordering directly from the manufacturing company (Durkee). |
114,517 | I love the taste of this coffee. It is sweet, creamy and delicious...almost like a dessert! I was glad to find it at Amazon since not all stores have it in stock or are even able to get it. |
114,518 | Since I really like gummy candy, I didn't have a problem with the 5 lb. bag. The taste was better than the typical gummy bear or worm I can buy at a grocery store. I would have preferred that the worms were longer, but oh well. |
114,519 | I liked the taste of this a little better than the MIO ( MIO Fruit Punch, 1.6-Ounce (Pack of 4) )fruit punch and found that the instructions were much more clear on how much makes a good mix for the right amount of flavor. I liked that there was some nutritional content to the drink as well. The design of the bottle is better and it's easy to figure out just how hard to squeeze to get the correct amount into your bottle or into your tea pitcher. It's fruity enough and since I don't mine Splenda, the Sucralose in this product didn't bother me either. It was not too sweet. The price for the number of servings works out to be more reasonable than MIO because I find I have to use almost 4 times the recommended amount of Mio to acheive the same flavor.
My only complaint, and it's a tiny one, was the first time I used it, I squeezed an awful lot into already caffeinated Tea and gave myself quite a ZAP! I got a minor headache a few hours later. Now I know to use this alone with water or with herbal tea. It works totally fine that way for me. If you too are careful about your servings of Cafeeine per day, be sure and count this into your daily intake to avoid withdrawal issues, ok?
Overall, good price, good taste and nice design. it could be a little better but I'd buy it on sale. UPDATE 4/27/12: I have gotten used to the caffeine in the product and bought another bottle on sale after getting used to adding this to my homebrewed iced tea. Now I used it more to kick up the flavor in Herbal Iced teas due to the caffeine quotient. I still prefer this packaging to MIO on every level. |
114,520 | My girlfriend and I prefer Lavazza over anything. We prefer the crema that Lavazza seems to produce better than other brands. This Creme e Gusto is superb (for a pre-ground). We always prefer to grind our own beans but we like to have a backup that is pre-ground for company so we can quickly make espressos without a lot of waiting between cups. We've tried several Lavazza pre-ground and all are pleasing, this is no exception. you aren't taking any chances here, except for a slightly higher-than-prefered price. |
114,521 | this same brand of nori at a grocery store costs over $4.00 for 5 sheets! This is a great deal. this particular brand tastes so good, I sometimes just eat it by itself. |
114,522 | The coffees samples are good, although not all of my likings. Kahlua is great, Donut House is also good. Timothy's is rather bland. The flavored Green Mountain coffees caffeine level is rather low unfortunately. |
114,523 | This Jerky is pretty good! Better then any I have puchased in the grocery store
here in AZ. So far it's the best that I have had! Would recommend to others! |
114,524 | Sprees were my favorite childhood candy and it's very rare that I can find them anywhere in public. So I went nuts and ordered a box and ate two rolls. They're not the cheap Sprees that I've had before that didn't have the hard shell but the ones that are really hard candy.
Needless to say that the temptation is too great to entire the entire box and I'll probably require dental work to repair the damage the yummy goodness has done to my teeth. But it'll be worth it. |
114,525 | While they aren't my favorite fruits, I do enjoy bananas and I keep them on hand because I love to add them to my smoothies (I usually add a heaping teaspoon or two of Matcha to all my smoothies too).
This matcha has a delicious banana-y flavor that isn't too sweet. The sweetness is from the fruit flavor and the Matcha itself, but it doesn't taste candy sweet, at least, not to me ... although it does smell like banana candy when you first open the package and all the while during preparation. But, I don't get that sort of taste from the Matcha and that's a good thing, at least in my opinion.
The matcha does taste a little different with the banana flavoring. The normal vegetative tones of the matcha meld with the flavor of the banana ... the fruity notes of the banana ... in such a way that the vegetal notes seem to disappear and become more fruity. The lovely, creamy, buttery tones are still there, and it still tastes like Matcha... but it's not veggie or grassy tasting like some Matcha can taste.
I like! |
114,526 | This assortment of olives in light oil with rosemary, red peppers, and light spices is delicious and long-lasting. Great for doing a large buffet, appetizer plate, holiday meal, or to keep in the fridge during times when company may stop in. Just pour into a bowl and serve - festive and great for snacking. Very yummy! |
114,527 | I bought Jovial Einkorn Linguine from a health food store. I think it tastes great. It is less gritty than regular whole wheat pasta. This pasta is an awesome source of protein; in the serving size (2oz) there are 9 grams of protein! |
114,528 | I got these treats because we needed chewy treats that our soft-coated wheaten terrier puppy could eat quickly during training. We had a lot of the cookie type treats earlier but it took too long for him to break apart the dry treats and lick up the crumbs. He'd also run around having only half-swallowed the treat and I worried about him choking. These treats were recommended to me by a friend and they have solved these problems.
PROS
-- Our dog loves these treats. LOVES them. Mostly because they are so moist and chewy.
-- Even though they are chewy, the treats don't leave any residue on your hands or anything-- they are very clean.
-- quick and easy to chew. Seems to be a lot less unhealthy than many other treats out there.
-- definitely gets him to pay attention!
CONS
-- you have to be careful of leaving the bag open as the treats can dry out, although I think you can put a damp napkin in and re-hydrate the treats.
-- These are a little too expensive for regular use, especially if you have a bigger dog.
Our dog is medium sized and it is easy to go through these treats pretty quickly. Then again, you really need treats that a dog will go wild for, and these do the trick. Overall, these are great treats that we'd recommend to anyone that is looking for high quality dog treats. When he finishes his training for the day we toss a small handful of these around he floor and let him hunt them all down (he is a terrier so he loves it!). |
114,529 | I love this tea. Have been ordering it from another source for years. I always ordered six boxes at a time so I would never run out. Amazon carries it in a six box case. I inadvertently ordered six boxes of the six-box case. So rather than ordering my usual six boxes, I ended up with 36 boxes. As this comes from a third party vendor, there was no way to return any of the boxes once I realized what had happened.
So if you are used to ordering this from another website, be sure you order only what you need.
It is a good thing I really like this tea.... |
114,530 | I sent this as a present to someone. He loved it and wanted to know how I found out about this company. I read the reviews and took a chance. It worked. |
114,531 | I thought these were a little high priced until I tried them. These are definitely worth the cost. I recommend these to people who try to eat natural and more healthy snacks. |
114,532 | THEY HAVE AN UNUSUAL CRUNCH TO THEM. I'VE ORDERED 3 OR 4 TIMES FROM THIS COMPANY AND THE SPRINKLES ACTUALLY HAVE A WONDERFUL SWEET TASTE. AS A SPRINKLE LOVER, SO MANY BRANDS JUST TASTE LIKE NOTHING, BUT THESE HAVE A GREAT KICK TO THEM. A REORDER! WISH THE SHIPPING WAS LESS. |
114,533 | If you want a delicious and perfect dressing for salads, etc. this is it! I use it without oil and it's perfect! It is worth every penny, especially if you want a good salad dressing but need to avoid oil of any kind. |
114,534 | Revisited this review and just wanted to say you need this in a hot area. Mine sprouted and I tried to move them from inside the house to outside and they wilted and died. The product is fine and works but these peppers are very hard to grow. I did get another to grow but need very high temps 85F and very little water. To much kills them aswell as they will rot. The peppers are hotter than most. They are very edible but they are very different from most you may be used to. For one they smell very smokey almost BO like. Yet they taste fruity at first and a slow rolling mack truck sneaks up and hits ya.
The heat eating by itself is pretty intense. Not like the morons on youtube but it will make ya sweat and if on an empty stomach it could make ya ill for a bit. Other than that just a buyer beware that these are very hard to grow, |
114,535 | I love these noodles and ordered by bulk directly from Konjac. This will be an ongoing order for me. They come packed in a water tight bag. You just rinse, add your other ingredients and heat up. There is a strong fish smell upon opening. However, once they are rinsed and mixed with other foods, they automatically take on the taste of the food. Just as good as spaghetti. The bags are 9 oz. each and it feeds two people, even though it does not look that big. Excellent for low carb diets. I'll never use regular pasta again. |
114,536 | I know these are super trendy right now, and I totally wanted to love this product (or, to be more exact, I wanted my toddler to love this product). He took one taste, handed it back to me, and said, "Why you gave me baby food, mom?" I tasted it, and he is right. It tastes just like jarred baby food. Same consistency (not any thicker), too. If your kid likes the packaging, great. If your kid doesn't, then it is just really, really expensive baby food. I'm going to give the rest to my baby, as the toddler is not the least bit interested. |
114,537 | My grandma got me hooked on this stuff years ago. It's awesome on eggs, fish, veggies, soup. Definitely my favorite salt blend. |
114,538 | This is the best for grilled steaks. I purchased this product at a discount store and we fell in love with it. Of course I was no longer able to get it locally-Amazon to the rescue. We always sprinkle it on the steaks prior to grilling and they have a great flavor-we also tried Bab for burgers which is also great. |
114,539 | These chips are GREAT! They came in a timely manner and were nice and fresh. I can't wait until they are in stock again so we can purchase more! |
114,540 | I grew up using this seasoning on steak, and pretty much everything. Could no longer find it in stores so ordered a case off amazon. Very happy nice spice and flavor. Highly recommend. |
114,541 | This Bigelow Chinese Oolong tea is so good! It's darker than the Oolong teas that they serve at your favorite chinese restaurants and in my opinion way better tasting! I've always loved this tea and this is my first time to try the Bigelow Chinese Oolong and I was so delighted. It is delicious and is my new favorite tea! I was introduced to Bigelow teas a few years back and my favorites include their English Breakfast, English Teatime, Earl Grey and Darjeeling teas. I always wanted to try their Chinese Oolong but it's not available in my area so I decided to order online and I was not disappointed. Great tea! Bigelow makes some of the best tasting teas around and what's even better is that you are buying american-made teas. They are grown right here in the U.S. |
114,542 | This is my first experience with "Tiptree", and I chose this particular kind to go with homemade gluten free scones, and "Devon Cream" (or as they call it in the UK-- "cream tea"). ..My family and I absolutely loved it! The mini whole strawberries are really darling, and DELICIOUS! I would say this is the BEST strawberry jam/jelly/preserve/conserve I've tried to date!
(FYI: Their 72, 1 ounce jars contain their regular strawberry, NOT "Scarlet" preserves.)
In conclusion, I can't wait to order another product from this company!
______
EDIT: I have since tried the "Damson" (plum) conserve/preserve, and "Tiptree Strawberry" conserve/preserve-- both with great success! (And have yet to open their "Tiptree Orange" *medium cut* marmalade.) |
114,543 | This is the closest I have come to eating an oreo in years, since a dairy and gluten allergy. This company also makes a vanilla animal cracker called "Kinnikritters" they are wonderful too! |
114,544 | I order this to make my total more than $25 and qualify for free shipping. When I receive it, I open the boxes. Almost more than 50% inside the box is cracked. Some is totally cracked. I have no idea if it is not being well taken care of or it is cracked originally which make its price drop. I am totally dispointed. Nevertheless, the expiration date is 4 months left. Being a victim to take the unfresh cracker.
With this price, I can easily order from some local store such as Walmart. |
114,545 | After my brother, a film animator formerly with the Walt Disney Company, made a TV commercial for Season Brand Sardines I decided to try the product and have been a lover of the tiny (Brisling) variety since then. This is now more than 20 years ago. They are packed in various sauces and oils but my favorite is pure olive oil and lightly smoked, wild caught from the cold waters off Scotland. I cannot imagine doing better than that. Most sardine lovers whether they eat them for health (they contain over 2,500mg of Omega 3 fatty acids) or just as a wonderful gourmet food love the tiny ones. The taste is nut-like and delicious. I like them best in a sandwich of toasted, seeded Jewish rye with Romaine lettuce. There's nothing else needed. |
114,546 | I love this coffee! This is coming from someone that loves a good cup of coffee and I love this one. We love the dark coffees in the kcups with this one is comparable and a great price. I'm not sure what residue people are talking about- there's nothing to complain about for sure. And the fact that this is a filter and not a giant plastic cup... Awesome! I wish the coffee snobs and the wine snobs would just taste and enjoy their drinks! This coffee deserves 5 stars- 5 for flavor, 5 for cost, and 5 for saving plastic! |
114,547 | Just started Korean cooking and this LKK Chili Bean Sauce was one of the ingredients. What a wonderful burst of flavor! It gave the dish that little extra WOW!
I will buy this item again. I have also found other dishes in which to use this sauce, it is a must. |
114,548 | the popcorn tastes ok when your lucky enough to get handfull of it thats not stale its kinda sad 24 packs of stale popcorn and many unpoped kernals |
114,549 | I dont like this at all. it taste like bad tea my mom used to make. and she makes bad tea.
just my opinion.
[...]
that makes me feel better though.
i actually meat to get the green tea, but grabbed wrong one. so take my review with a grain of salt as i dont drink arney palmy's
lol |
114,550 | I like this product. Half Caff fixes the dilemma of too much caffeine with great taste. Product came in a timely manner and in excellent condition. |
114,551 | I love to drink this in the morning or at night with a snack. Very tasty :P Its light and smooth, yet flavorful. The carton is easy to open and comes with an adjustable straw. Pearl soymilk is organic and lactose free. Kikkoman is an awesome brand of various soy products. |
114,552 | Although the product description made this tea sound pretty wonderful, I was still skeptical, having been a serious tea drinker now for 15 years. I'm even more skeptical of the quality of bagged teas, since many "pyramid" teabags still have tea leaf fannings or even dust in them, just like the old school "flat" tea bags. This tea not only brews up into a hefty serving of BOP, but the taste is fresh and clean, yet complex enough to be considered a decent spring flush Darjeeling. I was thrilled, because it can be difficult to find a good spring flush that is affordable and organic as well! And, while I generally prefer loose tea to bagged, I can use this at work when I'm pressed for time and still enjoy what I'm drinking. It would be great if the bags weren't stuffed into very small (albeit freshness-preserving) packages which, on my clumsier days, is hard to open without feeling like I'm smashing the leaves. The teabag strings could be a bit longer as well. But these are very small complaints, and they will not stop me from ordering again. If the packaging helps to keep this tea as affordable as it is, it's a small inconvenience to put up with.
I am also going to try this brand's other Darjeelings--check them out!Chamong Darjeeling Tea Bags, Autumn Flush, 20-Count Boxes (Pack of 3)Chamong Darjeeling Tea Bags, Monsoon Flush, 20-Count Boxes (Pack of 3)Chamong Darjeeling Tea Bags, Green, 20-Count Boxes (Pack of 3)Chamong Darjeeling Tea Sample Pack, 5-Count Teabags (Pack of 24) |
114,553 | These are great. My dog's favorite, and seem to be a healthy snack. They are easy to cut in half if you want to give a smaller portion. |
114,554 | Since this was first time using the flakes I was so surprised of the taste when I ate gluten free breakfast bars. The texture was really good and my son ate them I was afraid that he wouldn't like them I wasn't even sure I did the recipe right but he loved them. I will buy these flakes again. |
114,555 | The price of this tea is attractive and when it arrives you think Wow, what a deal. But in fact it doesn't taste or smell a lot like quality Darjeeling, and when you eventually have a cup of good quality Darjeeling again, you'll wonder why you're drinking this. The fact that the manufacturer does not offer a traditional grade for this tea (FOP or the like) tells you what you need to know. It seems to be a blend of Darjeeling and goodness knows what. |
114,556 | This has to be my most favorite lemon cookie ever. My preferences are cookies with less sugar than others...if that helps anyone. I shy away from fanny may candies, not for the flavor but for them being way too sugary for my palate. So if you have a sensitive palate and like a nice chewy, crumbly, lemony cookie with not too much sugar in it, then you should absolutely love these. I also love those little italian sesame cookies because they aren't too sugary either. |
114,557 | While brewing, it smells yummy. Makes me think of the winter holiday season. The coffee is good, but the french toast is more apparent in the smell than the taste. It's more of a novelty than a daily coffee for me. |
114,558 | This was very tasty in my vanilla protein smoothie. A good product when you are trying to stick to a lower-carb diet. |
114,559 | After a long and disappointing search for "Toffee Peanuts" I bought these nuts as an alternative choice. To be sure, they are NOT toffee peanuts exactly, but are crunchy and tasty just the same. They are a great deal if you can see the way to order a six pack or two in order to get free shipping from Amazon. They used to be easy to find at Target stores, but no more. I'd say a big marketing blunder by Planters on that decision. The price is right, the taste is great, and I think this product is a winner! |
114,560 | The bamboo arrived about 2 weeks after ordering, all intact and well packed. However, there were no instructions for caring of the bamboo. It is now almost a month since arriving and part of the bamboo stalk looks like it is dying and turning brown (part of the heart shape). I would buy more from this company if the shipping wasn't so costly (for the area where I live the shipping was about $10 and the product itself $15). |
114,561 | I am from new Zealand and they have this tea in all the grocery stores over there, I loved it when lived thee and missed it when I moved to the USA. I ran out of my stash from my last trip home and was bummed. I was thrilled when I took a chance and looked to see if amazon selled it and they do! I love the taste, it is better than any tea we have in the USA and they other thing I love is that they are not individually wrapped which is not wasting paper and extra packaging. They do not have strings and that may bother some, but I like it better as you can compost them or put them right down the waste disposal.
Def give this tea a try if you are a tea drinker, it's the best! |
114,562 | Very tasty item, although I enjoy it more with some veggies, but overall great sauce, and quality product. |
114,563 | These are great especially for little hands. I love how soft Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookies are. My son really can't get enough of these things! |
114,564 | Not as good as the steviadent but sense amazon didn't sell it anymore at the time I bought this. Its main sugar is Sorbitol. also contains Xylitol and maltitol. all sugar alcohols. |
114,565 | My dog loves this crunchy treat. It is like a chew treat so it lasts longer. |
114,566 | I grew up in Romania with those awesome mineral water drinks and this drink is a lot more than a soft drink, it's very healthy as it's made of dry elderberry + lemon) with natural Romanian mineral-rich water, I'd one of the best in the world. I am in USA now and my son after having drinks after drinks, he told me: Mom, when I drink this I can't believe I'm still on Earth, It's like the river of life" LOL Just love, guys, I hope it will keep being imported! |
114,567 | My husband and I went on a low-carb diet to lose weight last year. Once we were done losing, I started looking for good foods to help us maintain our progress. This came up on Amazon, but I was very hesitant...having tried every grocery-store-version of reduced-carb or reduced-calorie pasta, my "pasta-snob" husband has not been a fan of egg pasta in the past. The plain (egg) Carba-Nada Fettuccine is Fantastic! He had NO CLUE it was healthier than regular pasta, and in fact, asked me where I'd gotten it because it tasted really good. A few weeks ago, some very good family friends were in town, and we had plans to get together for dinner so we brought some of this pasta with sauteed shrimp and a light lemon-parmesan sauce. These friends are super-foodies and career restauranteurs including an amazing Italian restaurant. They loved(!) it, too!
Note: Even if you're not on a low-carb diet, check the nutrition info. This pasta is a lot healthier (my opinion based on the stats) than the other dry pastas we used to buy, compared apples-to-apples...even compared to whole grain / whole wheat pastas! Here's an example:
Al Dente Caba-Nada Egg Fettuccine v. "Brand Name" Whole Wheat High Fiber Thin Spaghetti
Serving Size: 2 oz (56g) dry
Calories: 140 v. 210 (That's a 50% difference!)
Total Fat: 1g v. 1.5g
Total Carbohydrate: 24g v. 41g
Dietary Fiber: 6g v. 5g
Sugars: 0g v. 2g
Protein: 12g v. 7g
The ONLY negatives are: (1) If you run out, you can't just run to the store to grab more (I haven't found it anywhere in our area), and (2) it's a little pricey compared to other dry pasta, but it's still downright *cheap* to make a meal for my family with this pasta.
It's now on our Amazon Subscribe-&-Save list so we never run out. I'm back today to order some other flavors. Can't wait to give them a try! |
114,568 | If you have uses for Mrs. Dash -- and who doesn't? -- this jumbo size is the way to buy it. I use gobs in sauces and marinades. The 21-oz bottle stores well in the freezer and I take out smaller quantities for daily use. |
114,569 | People, learn how to read nutrition labels. Servings are typically divided into just one or two cookies. Two cookies contain about 100 calories, 24 g carbohydrates and 14 g sugars. The calorie breakdown is over 90% carbohydrates, mostly from sugars. This is a BIG red flag. No one should consume junk like this. Don't be misled by the "Fat Free" label. (see second paragraph) Refined sugars are far, far worse for dieters than fats are; poly- and monounsaturated fats are in fact beneficial, and calories from fat provide more stable energy. With the exception of trans and saturated fats, (they raise bad cholesterol) you really shouldn't be on a low-fat diet. Sugars are the worst thing for dieters, as they aren't as likely to be metabolized as energy, and will typically be stored as body fat. (mostly around the mid-section) High-fructose corn syrup (an ingredient in SnackWell's products) is specifically linked with an increased risk of obesity and diabetes. The human body simply is not meant to metabolize this much sugar, nor sugars that are unnaturally processed. I can't provide links to research on the subject, because Amazon has rather ridiculous policies that censor URLs, names of other sites, stores, competitors, etc. from reviews. Be sure to complain to Amazon.com about this practice. Still, it's easy enough to open a search engine and type "snackwell devil food nutrition facts" or the like.
Bear in mind that products are not required to declare nutritional content when the servings are divided into small portions, and the content would be less than 0.5 g. Each cookie actually contains 0.17 g saturated fat, which Nabisco neglects to mention. Trans fat content is entirely unaccounted for, though it may actually exist. This means that "Fat Free" claim was just a blatant lie. Will anyone hold Nabisco responsible for unscrupulously deceiving consumers, though? Can anyone demand that they pull misleading products off the shelf? Nope. Welcome to corporate America.
Don't let Nabisco and other "health-conscience" snack companies scam you. Read labels closely, and be suspicious of small servings. If a single serving contains less than 0.5 g trans fat, then it doesn't have to be declared; the label will inaccurately specify 0 g. If the portions seem ridiculously small, then it's safe to assume they're trying to hide something from the consumer.
On a side note, please ignore "helpful review" ratings. Re-distributors of products will often vote down critical reviews, because they demote the very products they're trying to sell on Amazon. It's all politics. |
114,570 | Had problems with a different brand because it either wouldn't grow or it would grow bugs. This stuff grows nice, is very sturdy and long lasting. Kitty loves her new dental floss (and occasional snack). It's very tall and thick compared to most grass I've purchased in the past. Growing it all at once may be more than your cat needs or wants. I split mine up into quarters. Great value. |
114,571 | I did not know that this stuff was spicy, nice suprise. This is really good chili, just as I thought it would be. |
114,572 | k-cups were loose in a paper bag and this item was intended and marked as a gift. the package was also a few k-cups short. THE PRICE DROPPED 40% AFTER I PURCHASED. DID NOT RETURN BECAUSE I NEEDED A GIFT BUT NEEDED TO BUY SOMETHING MORE SO THAT I WAS NOT EMBARRASSED!
VERY DISSAPOINTED! |
114,573 | we love pancakes and trying different flavors will kept your taste buds going for more |
114,574 | I was hoping to "sneak" beets into my sons snack, but there is no hiding with this brand. In fact, the beet flavor is rather overwhelming, and rather on the "raw" side. I enjoy beets, pickled and roasted, but this flavor is just not appealing at all. If your kid loves beets (maybe even raw ones?) go for it. Also, someone commented on it being a runny consistency but my recently ordered batch is on the thick side. |
114,575 | PB2 is a wonderful product that I frequently add to protein shakes without fear of adding extra fat. Great taste and satisfying. Highly recommend!!! |
114,576 | A favorite of mine, love buying it in larger portions than I can get at the store (wal-mart, which I have to drive 50 miles to get to it). Having it delivered is great too! |
114,577 | Excellent coffee! This coffee has the best flavor of any coffee I have ever tried! I love it! |
114,578 | My kids and I really missed the convenience of instant oatmeal packets when we went gluten-free over two years ago. The sweetness of Glutenfreeda oatmeal is just right for me. (Quaker was too sweet.) The flavor and texture is good, making this a great choice for busy mornings. Two thumbs up! |
114,579 | I have trouble finding wild rice in local stores, so it's good to get a big bag of it online. This is especially nutty tasting and it's been lasting me through several meals. |
114,580 | I work out at 5:00a.m. and it is hard to get motivated. I take this product and within 15 to 20 minutes I feel completely awake and ready to work-out. A great side bennifit for me is the awesome pump you get from taking this product. I have tried Jack3d and this works a lot better for me. I would definetly buy this again and would reccomend it to anyone that needs that extra kick to get your work-outs into hi gear. |
114,581 | My hubby likes granola, and he loves dark chocolate. Turns out the "dark chocolate" in this Back to Nature flavor is actually semi-sweet chocolate but he didn't mind. The granola was your usual granola, nothing special about it, but when paired with CHOCOLATE he was thrilled. Great snack, he had it for dessert last night and tonight he's going to try it with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. This has great potential with yogurt as well, as my husband usually puts semi-sweet chocolate chips in with his strawberry yogurt. Granola, chocolate, and yogurt, yum! |
114,582 | We haven't tried it yet, but our dog seems to like it.
She'll eat most anything, but has a touchy stomach- which has consequences we like to avoid. This one seems to work for her, and it's all we buy now as far as kibble is concerned. |
114,583 | My dog cannot be bribed. I have tried EVERYTHING. The only thing he can be bribed with so far are these treats and real food (steamed chicken meat, peanut butter, and cheese whiz). I can't really use these for training, because he still doesn't like it as much as the human food. But it's an good treat if I want to reward him for going potty in the right place in a pinch.
My pack didn't come crushed like some of the other brands. Some are crushed, and I do have to be careful with them if I want to pack them to go. I need to put them in a hard plastic container to keep them from turning into powder. Also avoid getting them wet...man they become one sticky mess when they do. |
114,584 | It definitely helps to try these out not expecting a perfect pasta replacement. These are way more like the noodles you find in instant cup soups. And yes they did have an odor when first opened, but nothing terrible, and it was gone after a few min. of washing them in cold water.
Some have said they can't work as a substitute in spaghetti, and maybe that's true if you're expecting an exact replica for a flour based pasta spaghetti dish, but I did try it, and I was happy with the results. I followed the advice of rinsing them then patting them dry, I did 2 packages of them at once. While that was going on, I was boiling water. I am a stickler for calorie counting and portion control nowadays, so I pre-measure and freeze most of what I eat. I had a measured portion of low cal. spaghetti sauce in a ziplock bag I was heating up in the water, but put it in too soon, as the bag broke and I ended up with spaghetti sauced water. So I made use of the accident to flavor the noodles. I boiled some pearl onions in the spaghetti sauced water, then added the noodles. Let that all cook for about 7min then heated up a second pouch of spaghetti sauce. I strained the noodles, put them in a bowl with the onions and now heated sauce and added some diced tomatoes and a couple shots of hot sauce. I wanted the tomatoes to cook a bit so I further nuked the lot for a few min in the microwave. Then topped it with a slice of fat free american cheese. It was actually pretty good. The noodles were on the chewy side, but not in a bad way. And they do soak up whatever you flavor them with. So as long as that part is good, the whole dish should be good. I think with these noodles anything spicy will work best. Which is why I added the hot sauce, something I wouldn't do with reg. pasta. I'll probably try a hot asian dish next.
But it's really nice to know I can eat twice the amount of the low cal/carb pasta I have been using which was 175cal a serving, and actually cut the calories of the dish down to basically just the 40cal in the sauce and 25 cal in the cheese!!! |
114,585 | This to-go iced tea was very easy to prepare. The powder mix instantly dissolved in cold water.
The strawberry flavor is refreshing but reminded me of Crystal Lite or Koolaid. My son found it too sweet; however, it was just right for me.
It seemed more like a fruity drink rather than a tea beverage. |
114,586 | Overall, I liked the cookies for their flavor, pleasant aroma and texture. However, while somewhat moist and pleasantly chewy, they did taste a little dry. I had a few with my usual coffee, and they paired quite well. I also had a few with milk, and that didn't turn out well.
The cookies actually reminded me of a few of the high-fiber energy bars on the market. The cookies themselves were heavy on the oats and quite generous with the chocolate (but not the almonds). Each cookie was quite substantial and just two of them with milk could be a satisfying meal.
The cookies were soft and chewy, but not at all gooey, like eating a jelly bean or peanut butter. The oat content had good consistency and the total cookie was pleasing to nibble on.
Would I buy the product if given the chance? Probably not, as it is not a good dippin' cookie. I tried pairing it with milk, and it did not dip well (it fell apart when wetted), though it did taste good with milk. Still, the fiber content and heft alone have their merits, and in a pinch, I would definitely take a few bites. |
114,587 | This illy issimo cappuccino coffee drink is enjoyable, light, and tastes refreshing.
Ingredients: Mostly natural. The first four ingredients are coffee, lowfat milk, sugar, and cocoa powder. The other ingredients include cellulose gel, cellulose gum, and carrageenan.
Content: Per can, there are 100 calroies, 1.5g fat, 1g saturated fat, 60mg sodium, 18g sugar, 4g protein, and 81 mg/ of caffeine.
A combination of ingredients and tastes makes this an enjoyable coffee drink. |
114,588 | Have you every felt like the biggest jerk going through your child's Halloween Bag or Easter basket and taking out all the lollipops because your children simply don't need more sugar laying against their teeth. I have, and it didnt feel good. Suddenly, I'm like Santa Claus. Not that they eat lollipops all day-everyday; but if they did, it would only help their teeth, not rot them to nubs. Forget what you heard about sugar-free lollipops, these taste GREAT. And the fact that they contain Xylitol which actually strengthens their teeth, how could you not buy these for your kids. Sure they are a little expensive in comparison to the sugar on a stick that we're used to, but they are worth every cent. Note: These were initially recommended to me by my Pediatric Dentist. He keeps a bowl of them in his office. |
114,589 | I love these oat cakes. Good with cheese or jam! They have no wheat flour as I have a problem with white processed flour. So many oat crackers still have a flour base and these do not. If you like a hearty oat cake with some substance, you should like these. |
114,590 | I opened the box carefully, but I found all broken waffles, I'm sorry I lost the money, If this item is not eligible for return, will eliminate my amazon account, because I do not agree to lose money this way, I am very disgusted.Hafner Waffle Bowl, Large, 108-Count Box |
114,591 | I have been eating GoPicnic for a couple years - since I first discovered them on the airlines. Although I was disappointed when my usual airline went with a different on-board meal, I was thrilled to find them on Amazon. I travel a lot and in addition to airlines, I find GoPicnic to be a great option for airlines, to avoid eating in cafeterias, and I also send it to my friends serving in Afghanistan, who LOVE it. I will keep buying GoPicnic. |
114,592 | The selling point of this shampoo is that it doesn't contain parabens so, theoretically, the target market for these is the health-conscious. As such, I think this falls rather short of the mark.
The consistency of the shampoo is all right; it's a bit thin so it's easy to spill at first. Once you get used to it, though, it's fine. It lathers well, and it does the job.
However, it has a horrendously strong perfumey chemical fragrance. We find this fragrance truly awful (and overpowering), and it completely undermines any concept of "clear" or "pure" or "less unhealthy" in our minds.
We'll take a pass on this one and stick with something less obviously scented. |
114,593 | If you really want berries in your muffins, go elsewhere! It's hard to see from the small picture on amazon, but this "triple berry" mix has only "imitation berries" -- i.e. collections of chemicals/food coloring to make them look like blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. Yuck! If you really want "triple berry" muffins, try a plain blueberry muffin mix with REAL blueberries and add your own fresh blackberries and raspberries. Now THAT'S yummy!
P.S. Guess I sounded overly snotty as I have only 1 helpful review out of 5! Can't figure out why the other 4 people didn't find the review useful -- if I were thinking of buying something called a "triple berry muffin mix" I would want to know if it really had any berries in it. This mix doesn't! Now come on, isn't that helpful to know? :-) |
114,594 | These things are very good. I make them in a toaster oven with convection setting and can cook 6 average sized biscuits with this mix in about 10 minutes. It's the perfect size and very quick. The flavor is excellent. I'm glad that I found them here and tried them. Thanks, Amazon. |
114,595 | The diet rootbeer is not as good as the other diet flavors, such as diet grapefruit, which had a nice flavor. Diet rootbeer is bitter. The flavor is also weak, compared to the other diet flavors. If you add more to get the full flavor, the bitterness of the after taste is horrible. I would not recommend this flavor to anyone, so very disappointing. |
114,596 | I bought this chocolate a few times. A box of 12 bars to be precise. Loved every bit of it, no pun intended. The orange kind is light and energizing and feels really rich inside your mouth. It is organic, which is the main reason I bought it. Took a while to get it shipped (two weeks or so on free shipper program). Recommend it for the lovers of fine organic products. |
114,597 | The seeds grew very fast and thick. My only problem with the whole thing is that I can't tell which kind is which of the grasses! My cats only like 2 of the kinds that grew and i didn't mark them because i didn't realize that all 4 sides of the planter are the same :( Now i'm not sure what kind to re-plant!
The planter is nice and sturdy and attractive. We will use it for years to come :}
I wish the refills didn't cost so much!!
Overall very glad i got this unit and it is superior to all other kits i've tried :D |
114,598 | Do not buy this product if you expect Familia Original recipe. The product description claims that this is the original recipe in a newly designed package, but this is not the case.
I had been buying Familia for years. Perhaps the formula is the same but the product I received was not the milled grain I expected. It was more like puffed wheat; think sugar puffs without the sugar.
It was like eating cardboard.
To their credit, Amazon gave me a refund. |
114,599 | My teenager who has now been diagnosed with celiac for 2 years loves these. I make my own stuffed shells and lasagna but ravioli is something I don't make! So these are a great treat for him! HOwever they are very expensive. HE will eat one bag per serving...so at approximately $12 per bag....it is a treat he only gets once in awhile. Thanks to conte's for making something special...just work on the price and you will get 5 stars from me!!! |
