8,100 | Okay, this is a different cocoa from anything I've ever had before. The first taste is a bit surprising, so it's better just to think of it as its own thing and not expect it to taste like all the other cocoas you've had. I loved to use it in cakes (I had to increase the flour a little in mine or drop the sugar because it made the already moist cake just too gooey otherwise). I use the Cooks Illustrated recipe (6 chocolate cakes, sour cream), and with the special dark, it's a family and neighborhood favorite. I also love that it turns icing nearly black. I've gotten several commetns about how beautiful the cakes are made with this cocoa.
Our favorite use though is in hot cocoa. I use 2tbsp cocoa powder with 1-2 tbsp sugar and add 8 oz of boiling water. We love it just to drink, it looks like the darkest cocoa ever, and is more like a coffee drink, grown up hot chocolate... Our skeptical friends even love it, you should definitely give it a try!! We used to make the cocoa twice as strong, but found 2tbsp is enough for us because it's a very strong cocoa.
Here's the kicker. It's better for you... in one cup of the cocoa above (with 1bsp sugar) compared to a cup of cocoa with the same recipe and regular "natural" hershey's cocoa powder (note, it includes 2tbs of each and sugar, not the 1 tbsp on box)

with the twice as strong recipe, we were getting 60% of our iron from each cup, which is amazing to me. Because of the fiber, my Mom can have this as a weight watcher's drink too, I think she said it was 1 point. |
8,101 | I love these. I'm not sure they count as "healthy", since they do have like 200 calories apiece and a fair bit of fat, but they claim to have a very low glycemic index (probably because of the nuts), so that's something. Anyway, delicious. I just wish it were possible to get them cheaper. |
8,102 | A colleague at work just gave me one of these tea bags.
I like herbal teas but this one was really unique.
There were really nice lingering flavors on my tongue with every sip.
First, a tangy orangey sensation followed by a suttle sweetness married with a spicy masala kick shortly after.
The sweetness lingers around the back of the tongue afterwords.
Nothing really Mexican about it, neither does it have any chilis. The spiciness comes from some common spices used in Masala tea.
If this sounds like something you might like, I highly recommend that you try it. |
8,103 | the order shipped in a timely fashion. i love the tray it is better than the other ones because it takes no additional counter space and keeps the clutter away. |
8,104 | These things are delicious. The packaging in single-serve size is great. Especially since if it were one big package, I'd be tempted to eat all the olives in one sitting. They're a great way to eat olives on the go without all the mess. I took a pack along in my lunch the other day. The olives are pitted, super flavorful, just the right crunch/firmness. I could eat them all day. I'll definitely have to order again. |
8,105 | These consist of a crispy chocolate shell with one hazelnut inside, nestled in a soft whip of chocolate. The combination of smooth chocolate and crispiness make this a very satisfying treat. Each is beautifully wrapped in gold foil, which makes them a perfect addition to a gift box or Christmas stocking. You can wrap a few in tissue paper and tie off one end, or simply leave one on someone's desk as a nice surprise. They are beautiful, luxurious and very reasonably priced. I actually prefer them over more expensive chocolates. They go perfectly with a cup of coffee.
If you're buying them for yourself, the individual wrapping is great because you aren't tempted to eat the whole box. I usually have one or two at once, but am not tempted to have more, even though they're delicious. One piece has 73 calories, which is less than a lot of chocolate treats. I won't advocate chocolate as part of one's diet, but if you're someone who needs to indulge a little sometimes to stay on track for the long haul, these are great.
The larger box is perfect if you're filling stockings, and the smaller box is nice for a small gift. This 5.3oz size is my favorite because there's enough to keep a few and give a few without worrying they'll go stale. |
8,106 | Baronet Coffee Dark Kenya AA Dark Roast (135 g), 18-Count Coffee Pods (Pack of 3)
For home coffee pods lovers, this is a unique Dark Roast with exceptional strong coffee flavor.
This one is not for the meek(those who prefer flavored coffees, what a waste of real coffee). |
8,107 | I've used this product, and others from Premier, for years. For most dogs it's GREAT (I've fostered dogs and have my own). I have both the small and medium sizes, which actually both work well for my 50 pound dog but I change them based on the size of kibble I feed.
I like that they changed from the plastic-type "rope" which could easily be chewed and swallowed, but I don't like the new cotton rope - it's simply too difficult to clean and doesn't dry quickly enough. I cut it off, purchased a piece of non-toxic acrylic rope, and have been satisfied (just have to tie the ends and burn them so they don't unravel).
Kind of a pain to have to get a different rope and wish they would change it, but the replacement only cost me 50 cents. The jug itself is more durable in the medium size than small, but I use it in a crate that has thick soft bedding now and has lasted almost a year so far. When my dogs used it on hard floors the bottom of it cracked, although that was after 5 months.
There were a couple very powerful chewers that managed to break the tops of these easily (I prefer the Kong Wobbler Dog Toy or the Premier Busy Buddy Linkables Dog Toys Value Pack for them). However in general they've worked out great and my dogs love them. You can try making it more challenging by adding a rubber ball inside or pieces of carrots. |
8,108 | This is NOT the same honey, as contained in the 23 oz. bottles I've ordered in the past. MUCH lighter in color and RUNNIER!
I immediately cancelled my 'sub/save'...WHY DO THINGS HAVE TO CHANGE...FOR THE WORST?! |
8,109 | This is a real unprocessed honey!!! It has absolutely delightful flavor!!!!
Once you try it, you'll never go back to honey from supermarket or grocery store.)
Love it so much!!!! |
8,110 | This is the coffee that I look forward to waking up to every morning! It is smooth and always comforting. Not too weak, not too strong...just right! |
8,111 | For both the Decaf and regular, it was exceptionally good. I would recomend to anyone |
8,112 | I love peanuts and I also love salt but these nuts have very little taste EXCEPT salt. Believe me, there is not much that I consider "too salty" but these certainly qualify. Also, as another reviewer mentioned, they are bland - not peanut-y. Trader Joe's "blister peanuts" are far superior to these. Indeed, I think a commercial brand like Planters is probably superior (and much cheaper). After this purchase, I am still on the lookout for peanuts better than I can purchase in the grocery store.
Sorry I got them. |
8,113 | We buy these cranberries almost weekly! My husband and I like them in our salads, and the kids love to eat them as snacks. Great with cereal and trail mix too! |
8,114 | We are from England and miss one thing from back home: Heinz Baked Beans in tomato sauce. It's hard to believe that this healthy, tasty essential fodder for all occasions, made by an American firm, is not in our local supermarket. Shipping from Amazon could be pricey, so add them to an order where you get free postage. Also, they are packed loosely so the cans will be dented but the contents are fine. Yummee!! |
8,115 | sucks thought was a brand name the beans aren't eveb roasted what a rip off ordered some more that were actually roasted 1st |
8,116 | I love this tea flavor and place an order every few months for this tea. Lovely, subtle flavor without strong tannic acid unlike many other flavored teas on the market which is very happy in my stomach - what else can be said about a tea? Love the taste and love how it does not upset my stomach. Great product. |
8,117 | My daughter can't eat anything with gluten. She was feeling bad because she loves fruitcake. I made some using this flour. I tasted great; almost impossible to tell that it did not contain flour. The only problem is keeping the bread from drying out by the next day, even in the case of fruitcake which have more liquid than most breads. |
8,118 | I've tried a lot of Russian Caravan and I'm still looking for some made by Twinings. I hear that they still make it in Australia. Anyway, this is a far cry from the Twinings Russian Caravan . Too heavy on the lapsang souchon smoky flavor. The whole kitchen smells like it's on fire when you brew this cup. It's OK, but I'll be looking for someone else's Russian caravan brew next time. |
8,119 | This is the best cat food ever a great price too.
My cat was a little overweight (a couple of pounds) and was having problems with hair balls. She has lost some weight and I do not have to clean up hair balls any more YEAH.
My cat`s coat is shiny and soft as silk. I highly recommend this product because it cheaper than buying one bag of weight formula and one bag of hair ball formula.
I buy 6 pack of food every 6 months so it equals to about $7 a month on cat food.
For this high quality cat food Amazon has the best price. I give 5 stars to Amazon and the Purina One Cat Food Hairball & Healthy Weight Formula. |
8,120 | I just picked this up at starbucks this morning and am drinking it right now...it is awesome
It seriously taste like a mocha that you get at starbucks
The flavor is not intense, its laid back and very enjoyable
If you want a great instant coffee then go ahead and splurge and you wont regret it =p |
8,121 | I had high hopes for this litter after having it highly recommended from a local pet store. The plus was that it was super light and the bag claimed that 10 liters was to last a single cat a month! I happily cleaned out the old litter and replaced it with the green tea leaves and found that in actuality the odor control was not that great. We have a small apartment and must keep the litter box in the foyer, so if the box is not fresh you smell it immediately upon entering. While it seemed to do pretty well with concealing urine smells it took many hours (like 4-6) before the poop smell was absorbed. I resorted to pouring baking soda in the box everyday even after cleaning it and it still smelled bad. Also, while it claims to be low tracking, we still found these large pellets all over the house. This bag that was claimed to last a month ended up lasting less then two weeks...we are moving on to the next litter. |
8,122 | This is the best instant pea soup I have tried! It's not like the tried and true soup you get when you make it the old fashioned way, but it is definitely the best instant soup I've tried, and I've tried quite a few epic fails! Great quick soup to have on hand; I will order some of these again. |
8,123 | I just received my order from 1 Quick cup of this coffee today and was never so anxious to try a Kcup due to all the raving reviews. I brewed it in my B40 @ the 9.25 mug size and added cream and a sugar substitute. This is a wonderfully blend; not harsh not weak and it doesn't try to be something it is not. I know that sounded a bit odd but that was my first impression. This is my third cup this afternoon so I would like to try another cup without the nuances of the other kcups on my palate
Not to be redundant from what the other reviewers have written; it's very mellow yet rich and doesn't bite back and leaves no harsh after taste. Can't wait to try it later @ the 7.25 mug size.
UPDATE: Well I just had my Caribou @ the 7.25 mug size and it was as delicious as the larger mug size. A bit more after taste but again not offensive. Though I read that this coffee is a medium roast, to me, it tastes more like a light roast which I seem to gravitate to. I will brew it @ the larger mug size just so I can enjoy it longer. Caribou differently hit the nail on the head with this one. So it wins a spot on my top ten favorite Kcups list. |
8,124 | This candy is amazing! I've always bought it from the pseudo candy shops in the mall, which charge nearly $10 for one pound! Amazon hooks us up with this delicious treat for a fraction of the cost! I will be buying this candy on a regular basis just for my own personal enjoyment.
Thank you, Amazon, thank you! |
8,125 | I recently gave up coffee, but still felt I needed a little boost first thing in the morning. The nice spicy ginger tea is great for waking me up and love the lemon-ginger flavor.
I like the convienence of using Subscribe and Save program so will always have the tea on hand. Highly Recommend this tea! |
8,126 | sure, they're not the "most natural" dried strawberries, but they taste good and are hard to find! |
8,127 | It took a long time, and several tries, to find the right hazelnut decaf k-cup. And this is IT. The hazelnut flavor doesn't overwhelm, but stands up to milk or cream and certainly works without either. This, BTW, is the first hazelnut decaf to fool the non-decaf drinkers in our house, so it must be as good as I think it is. |
8,128 | This is a great idea, chickpea snack. It is also executed well. While a little on the dry side, these are a hearty but not heavy snack that have a very robust peppery taste. Af first I thought they were a tad bit on the expensive side which is my only down side in addition to you REALLY need to like a pepper taste. However, especially with subscribe and save, you get a good amount of snacking for the price. Especially for something that is better for you than most snacks and filling.
But I still think many people who are just ok with pepper might find the taste too intensely peppery. But overall for a hearty, healthy snack I do recommend these. And if pepper is not your thing you might want to consider a different flavor. |
8,129 | ....but on the plus side, no heartburn as I sometimes get when drinking coffee. I made this 3 ounces (1 packet) to a full pot of water in my 12 cup drip coffeemaker, maybe that was the reason for the weakness. I was expecting it to be stronger since "dark" was in the flavor name. Nice aroma and no bitterness, but unless my heartburn issues get worse in the future, I will stick to my regular mocha/espresso drinks and my CBTL machine. |
8,130 | I have tried lots of different coffee brands this year, and this one, by far, is the best. Although I usually prefer a light roast, this medium roast is fantastic. There's nothing like Hawaiian Kona. The price is still reasonable for Kona beans, and this brand really is exceptional.
I drink it black, so it has to be good. There's no attempt to hide the flavor of crappy beans by over-roasting. Or, even worse, adding "flavorings" to mask an inferior product.
This coffee is very fine quality. Recommended. |
8,131 | Sunset Fire is the absolute best popcorn ever. It tastes like you put butter on it but you did not. It is a little pricey since shipping and handling come out to be around 12.50. I wish the company would just say the popcorn is a little more expensive instead of trying to rip you off with the really high shipping/handling fees. |
8,132 | For the past 5 years my dog has been starting his day with a greenie. He still gets excited about this morning treat and appears disappointed when I run out. Since he controls the household, I buy them. |
8,133 | I usually drink tea-leaves tea and I think tea bags are just not as good. But yogi green tea is a big surprise! It tastes so good. I like that it has a subtle pleasant refreshness and sweetness. Love it. |
8,134 | I was hesistant about such a mixture but I want what's best for my baby so I bought it. It doesn't look the most appetizing but my baby LOVED it! This will be a constant food for him until he moves on to the next stage - love, love, love this brand! |
8,135 | So it's a 6 pack, and they want $79.99. That's $13.33 a can. Meanwhile if you search Amazon for "illy Medium" you get offered individual cans from various merchants for $11.99. WTF? You buy in bulk and the price per can goes up? A 6 pack should be about $60, in my opinion, not $80. |
8,136 | I bought this because it was on sale and hey we're in a recession, right?
I thought it was too sweet. Maybe it is my adult tastebuds. Tastes a lot like good ol' cinnamon toast crunch.
I bought a couple of boxes of regular chex and mixed it with the cinnamon chex and presto delicious. |
8,137 | I've tried a LOT of snack bars. As I become more nutrition-conscious (and wary of additives and HFCS), I have become more particular. And as always, there is the matter of taste.
At this point, Kind bars are all I use. Everything else pales in quality, nutrition, and taste.
Buying from REI in >12qty gets a 20% discount, about a buck-sixty each net, but Amazon (with free shipping) is still better, near a buck-and-a-quarter.
Good for between-meal staying power, bike rides, hikes, emergency car/RV stash. They last on the shelf longer than I have been able to wait to eat them; I can't tell the difference between new bars and > 3-month-old ones from my stash. The dried-fruit content and lower-oil nuts seem to keep them naturally preserved.
I definitely do not like the ones with peanuts in them, but that's a personal taste matter. |
8,138 | If you can get past the weird chemically smell when you open the package, these are okay -- the apples are definitely much much better. One of my girls won't eat these at all, the other one will if I take them out of the package and put them in a snack cup. I've purchased a lot of different types of dried fruits, and I'm not sure why this one has the weird smell. It's not anything that will make you sick, but still just strange and not pleasant. |
8,139 | This product came quickly and is all that it says it will be. Great boost during my distance runs, easy to chew on and eat while running. Besides, I really like the flavor. Great product! |
8,140 | The candy was a lttle tougher than I had hoped. I had tried some home made version of watermelon flavored twists and got hooked. The commercial version didn't compare, but wasn't bad. It broke my craving, since I couldn't get satisfied...it killed my urgent desire for anymore. |
8,141 | Gotta say it, I luv the stuff. Great refreshing peach flavor without any aftertaste. Big fan of Crystal Light products but it would be nice if they could eliminate the corn starch from the drink mix. I like to mix it with a bit more water to keep the taste light and refreshing...try it...3qt H2O instead of 2qts. |
8,142 | I've tried many green teas in the same price range, but I always come back to Stash Organic Green.
This green tea tastes how I think green tea should taste. It's light, vegetal and very smooth. To get the full flavor you need to use more leaves than most other green teas, and make sure the water temperature doesn't go over 180 degrees. I often mix this tea with cascade mint, jasmine green or other Stash loose leaf herbal teas because although it's very good by itself, plain green tea can get boring day-after-day. Contrary to the other reviewer, I don't like the Stash Organic Pinhead Gunpowder, and recommend this tea instead. |
8,143 | Tea arrived on time and is being enjoyed. That's about all I can say about it for now anyway. OK? |
8,144 | I really wanted to love this dog food, unfortunately, it just didn't work out. I had my 1 1/2 year old Siberian Husky on it for six months, and while he didn't lose weight during that time, he would regularly skip 2-3 meals. His bowel movements became very liquidy, and he had to go poop so many times every day. It even got to the point that his stomach would be so upset that he would just go in the house - keep in mind that this is a fully potty trained dog. He just never seemed to enjoy this food, and it never seemed to sit well with his stomach. The final straw was when the bag I received from amazon had a horrible odor to it and 1/4 of the pieces of food in the bag seemed covered in mold. It had definitely gone bad. I'm not sure if that was amazon's fault, or an issue with the manufacturer, but either way, I pulled my dog off of this food.
The ingredients in the food are quality and it is reasonably priced, but unfortunately it just didn't sit right with my pup. |
8,145 | These cookies are so good that, when they arrive, I have to write on each package what month I will eat them in. If I don't I have all six packages eaten within a week! These cookies make gluten free living much more enjoyable. |
8,146 | I use red clover tea a lot and so do my friends, it helps cure insomnia and is also known as a cleanser of the body organs. I feel rejuvenated, refreshed and cheerful after I use it, which is between once a week and once a month. |
8,147 | Eggnog is really a seasonal treat, and most people associate it with Christmas. For me, though, it means fall! Because as soon as it hits the shelves, I buy some. Sadly, though, eggnog is not my friend. It's delicious, but so rich even a small mug can make me a bit nauseous and regretful. Yet I still go back! This matcha is a great way to get that warm, creamy, custardy taste without any of the regretful stares into a fat and sugar filled mug. Because, well, matcha is healthy!
This is like eggnog's light, airy and more mature older sister. The grassiness of the matcha cuts through the custard richness, capturing all of the taste but none of that heaviness. The vanilla here is really nice, but my favorite part is the spices--that hint of nutmeg really brings together everything else! This is perfect as a hot latte, though even with just water it's quite delicious and dessert-y. |
8,148 | I don't think that anyone could ask for a better sugar substitute! For awhile I had used honey in my coffee, but switched after I tasted this product at a local health food store. Honey is good for cereal, but Agave is the closest that I have found to the true taste of sugar.
Online is much cheaper than at the health food store. |
8,149 | Don't buy this if you're American and you think you like salty things.
Don't buy this if you love licorice, but have never tried Dutch double salt licorice.
Buy this if you want the saltiness of the Dead Sea packed into a tiny drop of something vaguely resembling licorice. |
8,150 | This is a great coffee. Has a very unique taste so you have to love coffee with a little flare. It is fresh and great for an afternoon break. Adda scone with lots of whipped cream for a moment of heaven. These are pods so you cannot use it in your Keurig but in a regular coffee pot use it instead of a filter. |
8,151 | My whole family is addicted to these. They are sweet but not too sweet. A wonderful,quick,& healthy snack.
I keep a bag in my car at all times for a quick snack on the go. |
8,152 | I have to say that I'm pretty disappointed in these dates in comparison to others I have purchased. They were rather shriveled and not plump. I felt that for the money I did not get much.
Maybe it's the wrong time of the year to purchase dates...
In my mind they should not be shriveled and they should be soft, otherwise they are old. |
8,153 | I have purchased this flavor and all the other flavors that I was able to find and they were all pretty much a disappointment. When purchasing something called Cherry Blend, I expect that it should have a fair amount of cherries. However, that wasn't the case at all. All the formulas pretty much consist of about 90% or above just apples and very little anything else.
If I wanted just apples, then I would purchase just apples but I didn't, I purchased something that claimed to contain more but I don't consider a couple bits of cherries to constitute a product called Cherry Blend. |
8,154 | I must say that I bought this product with no much hope for it to work, but I really help to relax my muscles actually I use it even for the times that I felt like I was going to be sick and it helps a lot. if you are seriously stress and have constant pain well you may need something stronger but for general discomfort this is a good way to go. |
8,155 | My favorite of the Wolfgang series discovered when trying all of the flavors in the available sample pack. Very good flavor, consistent with each pod and not overdone with added flavors. Very good dark roast Colombian cup of coffee from the Wolf. |
8,156 | These are so good. They a different from any banana chips I ever had. I think it is the way they dry it and the honey. Once that first chip goes in your mouth, you look down and the whole bag is gone. Perfect for movie nights!
YUMMY in my TUMMY! |
8,157 | I must say, this organic juice is one of my favourites and even better than Odwalla. Sometimes it is out of stock but if you keep it on a watch list, you will see when it is available with Super Saver Shipping. Great tasting juice at a great price. |
8,158 | Great coffee. It is hard to find but you can get a case of 12 for $63.00 at [...]
I bought the 6 can pack from Amazon several months ago and it was the same price as the 3 pack.
What happened Amazon? Instead of $5 something a can it is $10????
Too bad you have to charge double... Amazon should shop around and so should you.
Again Great coffee - not as good as the original that Maxwell put out but the best Vanilla coffee we can find out there.
Just shop around though.. Sorry Big A this time I cannot recommend you. |
8,159 | I found this shampoo to be not only effective but markedly better than my standby- Head and Shoulders in a number of ways.
First: It appears to be much more effective.
Second: Less irritation - both to eyes and as I tend to shave while my wife is in the shower then get in after her, head an shoulders always reminded me of an nick form shaving while this shampoo is mild enough that this is not an issue.
Third: It does a better job cleaning hair than Head and Shoulders
Fourth: You need less shampoo to do the job
The price places this product in the upper middle range for dandruff products but given that you need less this may actually make cost lower than products slightly less.
Unilever does animal test their products and this may be a make or break issue for some. |
8,160 | We consume kipper snacks often! And these are some of the best we have tried! Much better than the store products and very low sodium content! Will buy again! |
8,161 | I decided to expand my horizon with the Happy Family brand and also tried this product with my little one. She really enjoyed them and I loved them too...so much, I had to restrain myself from eating the entire bag! This product is the perfect size for snack time with the kids, but also just right for mom's late night snack attack. |
8,162 | These mints came as a big surprise. They are the best mints to freshen your breath that I've ever tried. They aren't so powerful that they burn or make your eyes water - but they have the great effect of making your mouth feel cleaner. Not the sugary coating that many mints (like tic tacs) leave.
I think these work even better than altoids for actually freshening your breath. I will definitely keep them on hand! |
8,163 | It's didn't work like proper food coloring at all. It ruined my red velvet cake and it is also a very messy product. |
8,164 | Delicious as breakfast or a snack.
I bought these as an alternative to
non-organic cereal & milk for breakfast.
They were a big hit & I do not have to keep
non-organic milk on hand. I have not been
able to find organic powdered milk they will
drink. |
8,165 | My dogs lOve these things. I have two different toys they go in and whenever they see me picking them up they follow me to the kitchen and wait fir me to fill them with he treats then immediately start rolling the toys around to get at them. |
8,166 | These are delicious, especially if you like cranberries and almonds. The cranberries are not too tart or sour, so they provide a nice sweetness to the bar. The whole almonds while delicious make it a little harder to chew, so if you've got fragile teeth buyer beware. I switched to these for a while from the macadamia and mango ones, which are also great, and I noticed a bigger energy boost from these, the cranberry ones. A great product. Bit pricey though, at $1.50 a bar. |
8,167 | Absolutely love these! Full of good stuff and easy to toss in your bag for a quick snack. My only con is that when it is warmer, they are quite sticky and hard to get out of the package. |
8,168 | The best tasting K-Cups out there. It is like drinking an amazing dessert, but without the calories! Always stocked in the pantry. |
8,169 | A light lunch for today consisted of a can (4.25 ounces) of Crown Prince Sardines in Louisiana Hot Sauce. I think I bought it at a local Fresh and Easy Market and I've had it in the pantry for some time. Well, I was surprised. It was a fairly good-sized can but had only two sardines. Well, I read somewhere that there is no legal definition to the word Sardine, so anything can be used as far as small fish are concerned. It doesn't say what kind of fish these are, but they're said to be wild caught and a product of Morocco. The hot sauce is zesty but not particularly flavorful. All in all, it's a good can of sardines, but not a great one.

8,170 | The caviar actually received bears NO RESEMBLANCE to the photo posted on Amazon. The eggs are tiny, mushy, ill formed, and taste awful!
The ingredients, listed as "salmon roe, salt, vegetable oil and sorbic acid" create a big mushy mess (think "salmon egg soup") that tastes bitter and is inedible.
I am VERY disappointed by this purchase. |
8,171 | My mother gave me this to try. It is wonderful! You only need three or four drops to sweeten a tall glass of iced tea. I have tried other Stevia products in the past and found it diffucult to regulate the amount. It is very easy to use too much stevia powder leading to an overpowering taste. This product is perfect because the Stevia is already dispersed in liquid and ready to use. The dropper makes it easy to dispense--one drop at a time. I have known for years that you can make your own Stevia liquid sweetener by adding stevia powder to water, but that has been too much trouble to bother with. SweetLeaf has done it for me and added some flavors to boot. Thank-you SweetLeaf.
The flavoring seems mild to me, but I only use a few drops of this sweetener at one time. If the lemon flavor was stronger I would probably buy the plain stevia. A hint of flavor is just perfect. If I want lemon, I squeeze it fresh. In fact, I squeeze fresh lemons and/or limes daily for their health benefits. I sweeten my morning "lemonade" with organic grade B maple syrup (high in minerals) and I will continue to use the maple syrup in my morning beverage. I will use the Stevia to sweeten other things throughout the day.
Off topic: The BEST citrus press I have found is by Kitchenaid (not the stand mixer attachment), the free standing juicer. No metal parts touch the fruit and the machine is FAST. Easy to clean up too--goes right into the dishwasher. If you are interrested in learning more about the benefits of fresh squeezed lemon and/or lime juice, you may want to read the book EATING ALIVE. My vision has improved significanly as a result of drinking my fresh squeezed lemon/lime juice daily.
I am looking forward to trying the Chocolate Raspberry and English Toffee liquid Stevia in my coffee. I am a big Torani fan, so I will be delighted if the flavored Stevia offers the same or comparable flavor and sweetness to my lattes.
Another reviewer mentioned using coconut oil in her coffee. I much prefer organic coconut milk in my coffee. I use organic coconut oil from Tropical Traditions(the BEST)--the original hand processed (not green label or expeller pressed)--but didn't care for coconut oil straight up in my coffee--it floats on the top. Even the higher fat content coconut milk blends with the coffee without leaving an oil puddle on top. Coconut oil is very healthy. You can read more about it at www.coconutoil.com Also note that not all coconut oils are comparable. I have tasted some that are NASTY!
I store my opened bottles of SweetLeaf Stevia in the refrigerator.
If you are an artificial sweetener fan, I encourage you to visit www.mercola.com and enter your artificial sweetener preference in his search field to gather some info on it. Then, consider trying this product.
I also use agave (similar to honey, only better) and real maple syrup as sweeteners. They have more calories than the Stevia, but are both excellent choices for sweeteners.
When using Stevia, I encourage you to start with less and add more if needed. It doesn't take much to add sweetness. This is a great product if you don't add too much. |
8,172 | Every single can of Jyoti Natural Foods Delhi Saag, Spinach and Mustard Greens was dented. At first I thought it was just because they were poorly packed, but I realize that Amazon sent me a box of pre-dented cans, since the interior box was not sealed as most bulk orders from Jyoti are, and other items in my shipment were not damaged. Amazon, this is the way you lose customers! |
8,173 | Great,organic,and it has a great price!The only not so good part is that it foams a little |
8,174 | This is my favorite pasta ever! It tastes great, it's organic, and has good ingredients. |
8,175 | My partner and I both work from home, and so we often need quick-fix meals for lunch in the middle of the day. So we gave these a try, and were quite pleased! The pasta softened up very well, and the sauce heated up with no problems at all. Very tasty as well, and while the portions could have been a little bigger, overall we were pretty happy with them. |
8,176 | I love this stuff. In the first week of taking it I immediately noticed a difference in my energy level. Where before I'd be lagging at the office, now I can keep my sustained energy up without eating sugar or coffee. I swear by this stuff and am a loyal customer from here on out! Thanks AMAZING GRASS.....(p.s. I started off mixing it with juice, and now I mix it with just water to avoid the sugars. It's super delicious, taste like a naturally flavored juice) |

8,178 | Its really pretty good! I found this is a pretty handy addition to many menu items, and a great alternative to basic taco sauce or salsa all the time. I like it best as a sauce for nachos and tacos, as it can stand up to heavier ingredients like beans and ground beef.
I was a little concerned it would taste really artificial, but think it really is a good thing to have around the house actually. Its got a spicy yet well balanced flavor. I found it tastes especially good stirred in with a little sour cream to add lightness, and think it tasted really good with chicken. |
8,179 | I just love the breakfast blend. I hate bitter, strong coffee and rarely made coffee b/c it was awful. I became a DD lover and now I have the K-cups to drink at home. |
8,180 | We are big Pepperoni fans in my house but can't eat that much of the unhealthy real stuff. This is the closest to real Pepperoni that I could find and I've tried them all. (even Boars Head Turkey Pepperoni can't compare) I have had this coming in through Subscribe and Save as long as I can remember. Great on Salads. Even better heated. |
8,181 | This review applies specifically to the loose leaf variety of PG Tips. I would give the bagged version five stars.
Following the directions printed on the box to use 1tsp of tea per serving, the loose leaf variety of PG Tips does not offer substantial savings over the bagged variety. These 250G boxes contain as much tea as the eighty-bag boxes, and this six-pack of 250G loose leaf boxes contains as much tea as the two-pack of 240 bags also offered here on Amazon. The price difference? Three dollars.
The savings is negligible for such a large quantity of tea, and, as far as I can tell, the loose leaf form of PG Tips is actually the same exact stuff that is inside PG Tips teabags. That's disappointing. When you pop open one of these loose leaf boxes, you may be disappointed to find that the contents aren't really leaves at all. Rather, you get finely ground (or perhaps more accurately "pulverized") clippings of tea leaves--the same dusty powder you'll find if you rip open a PG Tips teabag. Factor in the need for some kind of infuser or tea filter and you've already overstepped the price line between the bags and the loose "leaves." Then you also have the extra effort of filling your infuser and washing it afterward to deal with.
To make matters worse, this stuff is hard as crap to brew even with an infuser. The fineness of the tea particles is, well, too fine. These little clippings have a tendency to escape from whatever you put them in and get into your cuppa, and it's not very pleasant to get a mouthful of them at the bottom of the cup. There are two working solutions I have found. One is to use spice bags made out of cheesecloth. These can be homemade, but I purchased mine at Bed Bath and Beyond. Reusable bags take a few minutes to clean after each use but are inexpensive and can last a good long while. Alternatively, there are premade paper tea filters out there that are exactly like tea bags. If you buy these, you will pay more than the cost of just buying the already-bagged version of the tea. Either way, regular infusers probably won't cut it.
The flavor of PG Tips--both bagged and loose--is perfect. It's the best black tea I've had. It's basically a very strong English breakfast tea that brews very dark but does not get bitter (even if oversteeped). This tea also makes great iced tea. Something like four teaspoons of this or four bags of the bagged variety steeped in three to three and a half liters of water with a quarter cup sugar added makes iced black tea that tastes very much like something you would get at a restaurant. Though the loose leaf version of PG Tips makes the same excellent tea that the bagged version does, I cannot rate it above one star because it is essentially a less convenient and more expensive version of a similar product. I'm disappointed. |
8,182 | What I first look for in a bag of cacao beans is size consistency. With some cacao bean products there are a lot of nib-type pieces and smaller, shriveled looking beans. The vast majority of the Live Superfoods Raw Organic Cacao Beans were full and plump. They tasted very fresh all the way to the bottom of the bag. I will be buying these beans from Superfoods again. |
8,183 | These soy based pretzels are a little sweet and contain protein which makes them perfect for a mid afternoon snack. They help cure the munchies and hold off the appetite until suppertime. Love them and keep a constant supply on hand. |
8,184 | I love chai tea in the mornings and this is good stuff. I used the International mix before but this is just a good for a lot better price. |
8,185 | I bought this cheese locally and it has a great flavor (it's not a mild cheese) with a hint of beer. My son liked it as well. |
8,186 | I confess I am addicted to most of the Kind Bars. My first try of the Blueberry Pistachio bars sealed my problem They are delicious, fairly low in calories and I sometimes use them as a meal substitue and feel satisfied. Try them! |
8,187 | Honestly, it's good food. My dog eats 1/4 of a can with each meal (mixed with kibble) and he loves it. He's a 3-year-old male Ridgeback, and he looks great. He's healthy, has a nice coat, and eats well. |
8,188 | Certo pectin is easy to use and it works advertised. Clear, concise directions, and a few recipes in the box; plus more online make this product work purchasing for jelly making. You can also use it to make jam.
For recipes go to Kraft Foods and search for Certo. There are many jam or jelly recipes available that use this product. |
8,189 | Great product at a good price. It used to be possible to buy edible silver and gold leaf (vark) at Indian groceries, but there seem to be problems nowadays importing it. So I was thrilled to find it here on Amazon. You can use the silver leaf to cover an entire cake, if you wish. I made an Indian-inspired cheesecake, putting a thin layer of rose-petal jam on top of the cookie crumb/nut base, making a traditional cheesecake filling using rosewater for flavoring, and then covering it with silver vark. It was an amazing success -- nobody had ever seen anything like it before and they were just fascinated by it! To cover the cake, just carefully slide the sheets of silver onto the cake from the paper leaves they're packed on. Smooth the silver using a brush, like a cosmetic brush. It won't be perfectly smooth, but good enough to impress your guests. You can further decorate the cake with some silver dragees, if you wish. Don't overdo, but it doesn't hurt to be a bit excessive with a dessert like this!!! |
8,190 | My Yorkie takes them from my hand, but then he just drops them. It's like he thinks it's a piece of cardboard meant to be shredded and then spit out.
I am disappointed. |
8,191 | I was sorely disappointed in these cookies.. They are pretty tasteless and damn hard too.. I wouldn't buy them again and I've certainly tasted much better low-cal cookies.. I definitely recommend saving your money, folks.. |
8,192 | I was skeptical ordering vanilla beans online - let alone you get so many for such a low price (by comparison to one dry shrivelry bean for $12 at the grocery store). The beans are beautifully plump and fragrant. I've already cooked with three (vanilla strawberry jam) and a double batch of vanilla ice cream. Thank you! |
8,193 | I love Yorkshire Gold tea. When I found out that one of the main differences between Yorkshire and Yorkshire Gold was the addition of Ntingwe Kwazulu to the Gold, I thought I would be getting 100% of that special "note" I find so enjoyable in YG. Not so, unfortunately. There is a flatness to this tea which is disappointing. For me, it works best as an addition to other loose teas where it seems to round out the flavor. Guess I just like blends. My daughter brought back some grocery store teas from South Africa which were really great and I was hoping this tea would be as good but it's not . Maybe the years have jaded my taste buds and my palate is not as sensitive to the nuances of this tea, but I would never buy it again. |
8,194 | This food is so full of chunks that my cats just love. They are normally on a variety of top quality pate foods, but I wanted to give them something to chew on and would take them longer than a few minutes to eat. This is stuff kitty dreams must be made of for sure. It is for both of mine anyway. |
8,195 | We started growing Wheat Grass with this first bag of wheat with the intention of juicing the grass. It has been a learning experience but definitely positive. We currently have 4 trays of grass growing in trays on the patio. I believe this wheat was a very high quality. We are very happy with the end result |
8,196 | I wish I could return this product. It tastes like instant coffee, and it doesn't work too well with my Keurig machine. I get half a cup and it quits mid-brew. |
8,197 | Our favorite olives are in the mix - always tasty and never mushy. The Byzantine Country Olive Mix is a staple in our household. |
8,198 | These are for some reason, one of my dog's favorite treats, which is great because with his dental issues I always have a package in the house. They are a little expensive i think, 30 cents per treat even at this great Amazon price of $10 (at Petco even the non Hextra version is $22!) but it's a great treat because of the 10% chlorhexidine coating. I don't give them to him every day because of the high percentage of the antiseptic ingredient, even though everything i've read indicates that is not at all harmful for doggies. I give him a half of 1 every other day.
Other rawhide treats have made my dog throw up but he has never had any issues with these. Love them.
I do have 2 gripes though. 1 is that one of the ingredients is maltodextrin, it's a chemical used in sugar substitutes, which is another reason i don't give him these daily. 2ndly, I always prefer my dogs treats made in the U.S., but these ones are "A product of Mexico".
Even though my dog naturally accumulates plaque and tartar and an unbelievable fast rate, with the regimen i have in place he's doing well. I will always include these in my regimen unless something better comes along.
Keep in mind, doggy dental chews cannot replace brushing. Pet dental gels can if brushing is not an option, special water additives and even the plaqueoff powder, but these chews are great for maintenance. I also have Chlorhexidine tooth wipes for dogs, i only use them 2x a week, i brush his teeth every other day and use dental gel on days i don't brush or wipe the teeth. |
8,199 | I was a little surprised to find myself buying canned fish on Amazon. And now I'm even more surprised to find myself inspired to write a review of it. But this fish is so good I can't help myself. Hands down, Bar Harbor has the highest quality canned fish I've ever had, and it's also the least expensive. What a find! I've had the Smoked Kippers, the Herring in Mustard, and the Smoked Mackerel: all stellar. I expect to be ordering these again and again. My only wish for the Mustard variety is that it were more mustardy. It's called "Stone Ground mustard," which I usually associate with a mustard that is strong with a coarse texture. This is a thin, lightly-flavored mustard sauce. Good, but could be better, IMO. Still, with fish this good, 5 stars! |
