Packaging gets a 5. Product gets a 1. $20 glass jar.
This is the best packaging I found. Easiest to get the syrup out of and reclose. Container is glass, not plastic.<br /><br />On the other hand, the product is awful. It is runny and thin with no sweet taste at all. How they claim to be a replacement for molasses is beyond me. It would only replace molasses if you want no thickness, no sweetness and poor taste.<br /><br />I have been using different yacon syrups for a couple of years. It does not magically make you lose weight but it does sweeten my morning oatmeal with few calories and good taste. Moreover, when mixed in after heating the oatmeal, it coats the oatmeal and prevents it from turning into organic concrete. I never need more than 1 teaspoonful with my breakfast. Not this version of yacon. It is too liquidy to coat anything and adds nothing - neither sweetness nor taste nor coating. It is absolutely awful.<br /><br />Well, there is one advantage. When buying the other yacon syrups, I can pour the liquid contents into the nice glass jars, cut open the others' plastic bottles, dig out the hardened materials, and can mix the contents to my hearts content in this glass jar.<br /><br />Biggest waste of $20 yet.
