Question: How is the cereal we bought from Germany?

I was looking forward to trying this cereal, because not too long ago I was able to try a wonderful granola cereal by Nature's Path, which I liked very much.So, I expected to like this cereal too.  Unfortunately I don't!  I poured alittle bit of the cereal into a bowl.  On my first bite what I tasted seemed salty to me.  I also do not really taste a vanilla flavor, or much of a vanilla flavor.I love the flavor vanilla, especially if it's real vanilla flavoring, but there is also another mainstream brand of cereal that also came in a vanilla flavor that so many people also seemed to love, and I didn't really care for that cereal either.It does look interesting when you pour the cereal into your bowl, different shapes, which consist of corn, rice,flax, quinoa, buckwheat and amaranth.When I read the nutrition facts, except for the fact that this cereal is organic, which to me is major, the health benefits really are no better than even alot of mainstream cereals, this cereal is no higher in important nutrients.The total carbohydrates per 2/3 Cup serving is 25 grams, which is 8%,dietary fiber is 3 grams, which is 12%, and sugars is 7 grams.  The sodium level is only 130 mg, which is only 5%.  There is only 1 gram of total fat, and 4% iron.  I would call this a reasonably healthy cereal, and it is gluten free.Iam not impressed.  I wish I were.  It does not keep me from wanting to try other Nature's Path products, but Iam disappointed to find that I did not like this cereal after reading such wonderful feedback about it.Maybe I just don't like vanilla flavored cereals?

Answer: I liked very much

Question: What is the effect of caffeine?

I received one 8.4 oz. Can of Jamba Juice Crisp Apple Energy Drink from the Vine Program. Here's my take on it.It tastes like apple but there's a bit of an aftertaste-not unpleasant, but there, nonetheless. A can equals a serving, and at 90 calories, that is acceptable. However, it has a whopping 20 grams of sugar, and even though natural, it equals more than my daily allowance.Ingredients consist of apple juice, lemon juice (water, juice concentrates), water, apple puree, natural flavor, caffeine, green tea extract, extract of stevia and carbonation. The product description states: All Natural Nestle Jamba Energy Drinks deliver great benefits. All Natural (No artificial ingredients, no taurine, no glucuronolactone). Great Taste (made with 70% Fruit Juice). Sustained Energy (80mg of natural caffeine per can). Lower calories and sugar per serving than Red Bull.  While the taste is crisp and pleasant, I feel there are better choices if low sugar (natural or otherwise) is part of your eating plan. Plus it's a bit pricey at a little over $2 per can.I am somewhat ambivalent on this one. You'll need to weight the good ingredients against the high sugar and cost and see if it works for you.

Question: How is the bar?

The top part of the wrapper advertises, "Wheat-Free, Gluten-Free, Non-Dairy" and that it's good whenever. In the spirit of whenever I decided to try a bar as my breakfast; the question I had was would one bar provide sufficient nutrition to carry me to lunch without getting hungry mid-morning. I can report that it did just that; I didn't even think about food until after 12 PM. So I would count that as a success.In all fairness I must admit that my lifestyle that morning was much less than vigorous and active and one who is engaging in an active lifestyle with much physical exertion will probably need to supplement one bar.The bar is rather soft and chewy and has a fruity flavor that reminded me of dates; I checked and there are no dates listed so I'm not sure what I tasted. The list of ingredients starts with Gluten-Free Oats with Organic Agave as the second ingredient; the agave is also known as the Century Plant. The third ingredient is a rice blend which includes some rice flours, tapioca starch, and xanthan gum. Walnuts were pretty far down the list and I don't recall encountering any chunks of walnuts. There was, however, a warning for people with allergies that the product was processed on equipment that makes other products that use peanuts and other tree nuts, soy and milk.From a nutritional perspective each bar has 180 calories, 9 grams of fat, 15 mg of cholesterol, 140 mg of sodium, 2 grams of dietary fiber, and 2 grams of protein.I enjoyed my bar with a cup of coffee and found it sustained me all morning. It is not a cookie or a particularly sweet treat but it is a tasty and convenient food. The package is easy to open if you pinch the wrapper on the front and back and pull it apart.

Question: Is this coffee very strong?

No sediment, just great tasting (and smelling) coffee.  Tired of Emeril's constant price changes and packaging changes.  This is as hearty as Emeril and as smooth with less waste to Mother Earth and much less money.  Very impressed, been using Keurig for over 5 years and this coffee is great.

Question: How natural does it taste?

Simply put, this drink is delicious, and I didn't reach this conclusion on my own. I introduced Izze's Sparkling Apple to more than three people, and everyone who tried it loved it. Even my dad, who's pretty picky about drinks, really liked it a lot. It's not too sweet, it's not too carbonated... it's like apple cider with a twist! It's great!It smells delightful, and I liked the packaging as well. I thought the cans were some of the most appealing I've seen in awhile.I definitely recommend Izze's All-Natural Sparkling Apple, and I'm sure you'll like it too!

Question: Is it all about taste?

These have an odd initial taste (tart like a Granny Smith apple with lemon juice), but after that, they are tasty. The texture is a little odd, as they are basically dried apples chopped into tiny pieces and then melded into small balls with apple juice and potato starch and a bit of cinnamon.I was surprised at how fitting they were, with one serving feeling sufficient unlike other snacks on the market in which one serving is a joke. It must have been the high fiber content - love a snack that can make me full! The texture was a bit to different for me to make these into a regular purchase, though I might try them again from time to time.

Question: What is coffee like?

The coffee is wonderful, I will order again.  You must store these in an airtight container since the "cup" is not sealed, it is like a coffee filter material.  As I already said the coffee is wonderful.

Question: How is the texture of the cream?

I found this cereal very wholesome.  It's made with whole grain and an assortment of berries.  What I really liked about it was the flakes did not turn soggy when I poured milk on them.  I like to have a good crunch in my cereal and they were quite tasty, too.  I wish there were a bit more berries but it's not really an issue.  Also the box is a bit small.  I think with an average-size bowl,  I can get at the most 4 servings out of the box.  Speaking of the box, I like that it has minimal print and is recyclable.  I would definitely purchase this cereal off the shelf as long as it has a reasonable price.

Question: Is sugar enough?

Okay, I admit that I'm a bit of a coffee snob. Enough so that I roast my own beans and grind them fresh before each cup and I look down a bit on Starbucks and Peet's. Still, just like I believe wine in a bag or box could be good if you actually use good wine - better, maybe, depending on the wine and what you intend to use it for - I also believe that using good beans and processing them properly you could, maybe, get an excellent cup of coffee in a can.Normally I wouldn't be trying coffee in a can simply because it usually seems to have milk in it and I don't consume any dairy, but this illy issimo contains just coffee, sugar, potassium bicarbonate, and potassium citrate. I'm not sure what the last two ingredients are for, but wikipedia says they both impart a slightly salty taste and are used to regulate ph...so maybe it's either of those or both. The can says "100% natural arabica". Not sure what the "natural" part is supposed to mean - maybe it's just a way to sneak "natural" onto the label - it's a term that's not really regulated so it's slapped on a lot of stuff without really meaning anything. Not too impressed with the "arabica" part...75% of all coffee produced is arabica and some of it is pretty nasty dross. Still, illy is supposed to have a good reputation, so despite the meaningless hype on the can I have tentative high hopes for it.These cans are kind of small, closer to a Red Bull than your traditional can of soda. I put my can in the fridge to chill it, then opened it and took a sip. Well, blech...I did not like that at all, but then I normally don't like coffee and sugar without any (non-dairy) milk, so not really a surprise. I put four ice cubes in a glass and then the coffee and it filled my glass most of the way. The rest of the glass I filled with one of my two favorite soy milks, Sunrich Naturals (which is the one they use at Blue Bottle) gave a little stir and sipped again. This time, it actually tasted good! Good enough to drink the entire thing, even though really I'd had my coffee for the day. Oh yeah, and better than an iced latte from Peet's or Starbucks!Would I drink this again? Yes, actually I would. The main thing stopping me would be that I'd only want to drink it if I had access to a glass with ice and some soy (or other non-dairy) milk, which certainly could happen but if I'm at home I might just as well roast and grind my own beans and if I'm not at home all of a sudden the whole ice/glass/soymilk thing requires some pre-planning. They should make illy issimo canned coffee drinks with soymilk right in the can...then I bet I could think of lots of reasons to keep a case of it on hand.

Question: How is taste?

I did not test the pH and I don't know if I received any long term health benefits from drinking Essential, but I can comment on the taste which is almost nonexistent. There is no chemical taste, and no aftertaste either good or bad. It doesn't taste fresh like spring water that's bubbling up from its source, but I don't find myself near a spring very often and no taste is better than bad taste. It comes in a large plastic bottle that is sturdy enough to reuse.

Question: How is the soup?

This is a really great soup. The price is a big high, but it makes up in quality and value. The bowl is biodegradable and the paper that covers the bowl can be recycled anywhere, making this one of the most environmental friendly food products on the market. However, what it helps in the environment it does not take away in taste. The taste is very mild, which considered ideal in Japanese cuisine. You can dilute the taste or give it more taste depending on how much water you put in, but the ideal amount of water is the amount instructed to put in. If you added to much water, the water will not be as brown as pictured! there is not much veggies as pictures but the noodles are soft and delicious. It is a great meal for those who work at the office, just heat up a cup of water in the microwave and pour.  For the large males, it might leave you a bit of wanting more. For children, the serving is more than enough. On average, it leaves you feeling just right!

You can dilute the taste or give it more taste depending on how much water you put in, but the ideal amount of water is the amount instructed to put in. If you added to much water, the water will not be as brown as pictured! there is not much veggies as pictures but the noodles are soft and delicious. It is a great meal for those who work at the office, just heat up a cup of water in the microwave and pour. For the large males, it might leave you a bit of wanting more. For children, the serving is more than enough. On average, it leaves you feeling just right!

Question: How was the coffee?

I've been looking for a good cinnamon-flavored coffee, and I've tried several different ones.  Some were better than others, but none had the taste I was looking for.  When I was offered the opportunity to try this one, I thought "Why not?"I realize that coffee is a very individual thing -- what tastes great to me may not float your boat.  But I really REALLY like this coffee.  The cinnamon flavor isn't overpowering, but it's there.  The coffee is smooth, with none of the sharp bitterness I find too often in flavored coffees.  I HATE the charred over-roasted flavor of a lot of coffees (sorry, Starbucks), but I do like robust flavor.  The key is BALANCE: flavored coffees should taste like coffee first, with the "other" flavor providing a highlight, not a shadow.I use the 8-oz setting on my Keurig K75 Platinum, and find that usually gives me the depth of flavor I like best.  It was perfect for this coffee.So for me, this is it: my new favorite cinnamon coffee.  WIll definitely keep this on hand.

Question: Why is this coffee too dark?

I received both the Caffe and Cappuccino versions and did a side-by-side taste comparison to see which of the two I might prefer over the other.First I tried the Caffe version and was surprised to discover it was just black coffee. I prefer cream in my coffee, so I was hesitant to taste it as it was. But I tasted it and found it to have a nice medium coffee strength with a bit of sweetness to it. In my everyday coffee I don't add sugar, but on occasion it's nice to have a special coffee drink, and since it's been hot here lately, I had poured it over ice as well. I added cream and found it to be quite enjoyable. It's one of those conveniences that one could easily become addicted to.Next I tried the Cappuccino which had a similar taste and flavor as the Caffe, but was milder. I prefer my coffee stronger, so my preference was for the Caffe and still I would have liked it stronger (perhaps this is offered in another version). But the Cappuccino was also good and I had poured it over ice as well. I was concerned about both coffees being packaged in cans as I don't like my drinks to have a metallic tinge to them, but I did not notice anything out of the ordinary. I had, however, poured the drinks over ice into a glass, so that may have helped. Regardless, it was really nice to have sitting out on my deck on a warm day. Hot coffee just does not sit well with me in hot weather.All-in-all, if you're looking for a mild, sweet coffee drink that's quick and easy to take with you on the go or to pour into a glass at home, this is a good choice. It's small and convenient to slip into a purse or briefcase. While the coffee is mild, it still gives a quick pick-me-up in the morning, or in the middle of the day if need be.

Question: How is the cracker?

Each cracker is about 5x1.5 inches and sandwiched between is a cheese-whiz type spread. The multi-grain cracker sounds healthy, except 60 out of the 130 calories per cracker is fat. There is no trans fat, but there is 10% of your daily fat and sodium intake in this one snack.The taste is decent, but instead of the cheese spread a peanut butter or jelly type spread would work just as well and would probably lower the fat content.I would personally suggest a PB&J; on multigrain bread for a far healthier and less expensive snack.

Question: What are the ingredients in this cracker?

I've always loved Honey Maid Cinnamon Graham crackers, you know, the ones dusted with cinnamon sugar.  So I thought I would love these apple cinnamon oat graham crackers too.  Boy was I wrong!  These crackers tasted stale and bland with only a hint of apple flavor.  Sure, they are 100% natural and maybe a little healthier than my regular graham crackers but since these are a "treat" and not a significant part of my diet I would rather enjoy the eating experience.  I'll stick with my tried and true favorites.

Question: How is the cracker?

These are tasty crackers.  They do not break on the perforations, but that is not a prerequisite for delicious--and that is the word.  The crackers are good alone, or smeared with something, or combined with custard and bananas.  A box of these will not last long, once it is opened and sampled.

Question: How is the bar?

If I could describe these bars in one word it would be: meaty. Yes, because they're big, thick and filling.  They have really big peanuty taste and the nuts on top are large and plentifulThey remind me of another granola bar, the Nature Valley Sweet and Salty Peanut bars. Those too are coated with peanut butter and have big peanuts on top. These bars are very similar to those and to be honest, I really couldn't find a difference between the two. One pro I did find was that the peanut butter coating did not start melting while eating. I did not find myself needing to get a napkin to wipe sticky fingers.While these bars are filling, it's also due to high calories and fat. This would scare someone from eating this as a snack everyday but they are good for a meal replacement if you're busy and can't take a break for lunch. In fact, one bar is much more filling than eating a Slim Fast meal replacement bar.Overall, I did enjoy these bars. They are tasty, filling and portable to carry around.  If possible share with a friend, for maximum enjoyment.

Question: How is chocolate?

Question: How much fiber do you have?

The clear selling point of anything labeled "back to nature" is going to be its healthier ingredients and the crackers do a good job of stacking up against most popular brands in that area.  They have no artificial preservatives, flavors, or colors and no high fructose corn syrup--that alone puts them ahead of the usual in my book, especially the lack of HFCS which is so hard to avoid. They have slightly less sugar (7 g vs 8-10 for other brands), significantly less sodium (130 g vs 200 and up), slightly more fiber, slightly fewer calories (about 15 cal fewer per serving).  So yes, they're certainly better for you.The question of course then goes to taste, a much more subjective aspect.  Personally, I found their taste slightly less rich, which is a negative, but better in two categories. They are noticeably less sweet which I prefer as I'm not a fan of sweet foods; obviously others may have a different view on that.  They are maybe a bit more dry, though it's hard to tell as graham crackers in general seem a bit dry to me.  But they are definitely crispier than the usual other types.We don't go in much for crackers in our house, but on the few occasions we'll do so, I'd certainly pick up these rather than the larger brands due to their healthier ingredients, less sweet taste, and similar overall taste.  A plus as well for their focus on sustainability and recycling

Question: What is the quality of sugar?

I was pleasantly surprised with the great strawberry/banana flavor of this drink.  It was fizzy, like soda, which was also unexpected but great- I thought it would be more of a fruit juice.  My kids were clamoring for a taste, so I let them each have a sip.  Both kids enjoyed it.  At 22 carbs per can (serving), it has less sugar than most fruit juices.... however, I wouldn't let kids have any sort of energy drink on a regular basis.While I can't really say that I felt a huge increase in energy level, I am happy to say that I didn't experience any kind of crash after drinking it.I received my can of Jamba's All Natural Energy Drink for free in return for posting my honest review as a part of the Amazon Vine reviewer program.

Question: Why do I have a pleasing taste?

I'm not big on the energy drinks and haven't used them a lot but I will use one when I need that extra boost to get through the night shift. This one is pretty good and different. It has a kinda odd flavor, kinda tart, very sweet, with a faint baking soda flavor in there somewhere crossed with very light carbonation. It's supposed to be Strawberry Banana but I couldn't really taste much that I could recognize as strawberry or banana. But other than being a little too sweet it was ok. I can say that I liked the taste of it just a little, at least I didn't hate it or dis-like it as I do most of the energy drinks. I can also say that I like it better than Red Bull. It would have been better if it wasn't so sweet and maybe had some carbonation. As for its effectiveness as a energy boost I'll have to get back to you on that. If it gets me through the night shift then it will be one that I wouldn't mind using again and probably will if I can find it.After using this last night it did help me a lot. I had more energy through the night shift and didn't have that much of a drop when it was running down. The best part was that it gave me the energy boost that I needed without making my jitter around like a frog on a hot sidewalk. It was good enough that it could possibly become habit forming since I could really use another shot of it today to help get over the slight hangover feeling that I had this morning. But fortunately for me they are expensive enough that I cant indulge myself and end up using them on a daily basis.

It was good enough that it could possibly become habit forming since I could really use another shot of it today to help get over the slight hangover feeling that I had this morning. But fortunately for me they are expensive enough that I cant indulge myself and end up using them on a daily basis.

It has a <hl> kinda odd flavor <hl> , kinda tart, very sweet, with a faint baking soda flavor in there somewhere crossed with very light carbonation.


Question: How is the quality of the idea?

The white chocolate chips add an extra dimension that takes this cookie to another level!  The chocolate cookie taste is good, the creamy center has a great texture and flavor, and I didn't feel these were to cloyingly sweet as some creamy cookies tend to be.  In fact, the cookie portion itself was a bit crumbly, but it wasn't a turnoff.The cream did have a slight odd crunch to it, which I'm assuming was the edible barrier to keep the creme from soaking into the cookie (I have noticed this same odd crunch in other creme-filled snacks as of late, which makes me think it's a normal manufacturing technique).Serving Size: 2 cookiesPer serving: 150 calories, 7g fat (3.5g saturated), 0g cholesterol, 110mg sodium, 80mg potassium,  21g carbs (13g sugar, >1g fiber), 1g proteinOverall, these are fairly decent for a storebought packaged cookie.  I don't usually buy storebought cookies, actually, we prefer homemade, but everyone in my house enjoyed these!  I don't usually like regular Chips Ahoy at all, I don't enjoy the flavor or the very crunchy texture.  But these Chewy Gooey Megafudge cookies are much better, and have changed my opinion of the brand.

Question: How is the seed?

I just wish it was a Fair Trade product since that protects employees. I do not buy rainbow quinoas since they sell for a high price without having enough red or black but more of white but C & F sells one of the best white and red mix since C & F offers more red than white in the mix. I usually buy the white, red and black separately and mix as I wish as well since quinoa is just an important part of my diet.KEEN-Waah... A complete protein source, a seed related to other healthy cousins like spinach and beets. In a pot I place quinoa, frozen peas, carrots, corn, add water and tomato paste. Spinach is added at the end the last minute. Stewing tomatoes for a half hour increases the cancer fighting lycopene content by 35 percent. Cooking also unlocks another nutrient, beta-carotene, in corn and carrots since heat breaks down the fibrous cell walls, releasing more of these antioxidants. The same goes for spinach but then you need to get your vitamin C from something else since that is the first vitamin which is depleted with heat. I saute lots of onion separately then in ten minutes I add paprika, cumin, dillweed, gram marsala, crushed red pepper, turmeric and lots of garlic2 x 2 Pound Fresh Garlic USA California Heirloom Monviso Gilroy Finest (4 Pounds Total), mix it well and add the mix to the pot and let it sit without heat for five minutes. This is what vegans consume instead of beef since it is a complete protein. Greens, vegetables, nuts, seeds, etc. may have protein but the fact is that only quinoa has a complete protein and all others do not since all others are missing few amino acids here and there but not quinoa. I rarely ever consume beef, chicken, etc. so fish and quinoa are the only source of complete protein with all amino acids for me. Organic, whole grain, very fulfilling due to some starch with host of vitamins, minerals that no beef or chicken can even come close to. Cooks in ten minutes with some water, no fat, no salt, no sugar... I consume it with eggplant, onions, okra, smoked hearings, curry type dishes with lots of spices and delicious juices. I never ever have to wash and rinse before cooking either. I keep the uncooked portions in double zip lock bags in freezer. I consume so much that I never have to worry about the unused portion going rancid and unlike brown rice which loses its oil in less than six months and becomes worthless even if kept in freezer, quinoa will last longer. Obviously I never ever do that with any food since I only purchase what I need in order to get the nutrients which are a healthy portion of my diet. Gluten free, the best product for me when I go camping since all I do is add lemon and tomato and that way I never have to worry about paying arm and leg for that lousy, awful tasting dry foods. I ground chia+flax+sesame, mix it with cocoa+isolate+soy milk before my workouts every single day or no workout regardless. Three tbsp of quinoa in my power drink offers me 4gr of pure, complete protein with all amino acids. I add organic paprika to regular yellow quinoa and it turns the dish into a beautiful red color. Healthy, healthier and healthiest of many seeds, delicious sprouts only in 3 days with all amino acids. I am an athlete with a healthy diet. I used to consume brown rice heavily years ago but no longer. I can consume quinoa with tomato and lemon juice and it is the best food I can take with me anywhere on any sports trip and I do not even have to wash it either. Delicious, delicious, delicious.FRESHNESS: Fresh means nutritious and delicious. I consume lots of seeds, beans, grains, vegetables, etc. and freshness is a priority regardless of the brand so I always purchase my food ingredients in small quantities from reputable sellers with high turnover. When fresh, food is nutritious and that goes for any food in any form, from frozen to canned. Fresh food is nutritious as well as delicious since nutrients give food its delicious taste. When old or rancid, nutrients are gone and any food item becomes an empty calories with no taste and absolutely worthless regardless of the brand or price, organic or conventional. For few years I consumed seeds in oil form since physicians advised me to do so not knowing that majority are not aware that seeds hardly offer any nutrients unless; seeds are fresh, not old which means rancid, not in oil form, not in supplement form, not hulled, ground and consumed within few days, kept in dark cold temperatures, away from light-sun-moisture since the oil in seeds and nuts go rancid regardless. That is why brown rice which has its nutrients will go rancid even if kept in freezer while white rice will last for years at room temperature since it hardly has any nutrients or oil. I ground in my coffee grinder sesame, flax, chia, amaranth, hemp then add cocoa, isolate protein, soy milk and consume it before my workouts on daily basis for its vitamins, minerals, protein and many nutrients, without much spike in my glucose. Un-hulled seeds are full of nutrients. I never consume hulled seeds which are empty calories, absolutely worthless since the nutrients have been removed.STARCH: Some carbohydrates, such as sugars and most starch are rapidly digested and absorbed as glucose into the body through the small intestine and subsequently used for short-term energy needs or stored. Resistant starch on the other hand, resists digestion and passes through to the large intestine where it acts like dietary fiber. Sugar, honey, maple syrup, white flour, white rice, whole-grain pastry flour, packaged cold cereals, commercial fruit juices, and fruit-juice sweetened beverages are the same foods some dentists claim rots the teeth from the inside out by changing the balance and ratio of calcium to phosphorous in the bloodstream. Your immune system goes down when you wolf down sweets, especially around events and holiday meals. High Glycemic foods quickly turn to sugar in your blood stream, causing excess insulin to pour into your blood to get rid of the excess sugar. The excess insulin pushes the calcium and fat into your arteries, especially if you have only a few cholesterol receptors on your liver (which is genetic). Whole wheat and white bread have essentially the same impact on blood sugar so I try to consume bread with whole sprouted grains, even flourless breads, and no-yeast breads. Black beans, northern beans, navy beans, red kidney beans, lentils, split peas, black-eyed peas, brown rice, rolled oats, millet, corn, black rice are all Resistance Starch. King of starch for me is quinoa and Navy Beans before and post expedition trips, 17.6gr vs. 15.4gr for 100gr serving. No wonder the price of quinoa is going up, up, up...

Question: How do you like hot or cold chocolate?

I've had chocolate covered soynuts from other places, but these are the best I've tried so far. The chocolate is nice and thick, not too sweet and not too bitter. The soynuts are well-roasted with a nice nutty flavor to counteract the sweet chocolate.The small package size is very convenient for dropping in my purse. Also, the packages are easy to open because of a notch in the wrapper at the corner.I like the fact that this snack provides something sweet, but also some protein. Most snacks are high carb with no protein.

Question: How is the index?

Ii have been reading all the information on coconut EVERYTHING and tried this product to replace regular cane sugar. Measures cup for cup in any recipe and is free flowing, two very positive aspects. The taste is different than cane, but not in a bad way, just different. Still very sweet but it has almost a bit of molasses undertones. I love it and have re-ordered it since my original purchase. The sad part it that the price has increased significantly since I first bought it (from $18 to $24 for a 6 pound order). Pretty sure if it goes up anymore, I will not buy, but the product is excellent and I would recommend!

Question: How is taste?

A co-worker and I tried a packet of this gourmet, organic pureed juicy pear and garden greens before we gave it to the baby.  Honestly,  baby food never seems to taste spectacular to me.  This tasted better than most of the stuff that I'd feed my own children years ago.  Over the years, I've tasted some baby food that I immediately spit out, and never fed to our children.  This wasn't bad and, in a pinch, I'd eat it again.  I think that the price is about $1.50 a pack ... is it worthwhile to you?  The taste is better than most, in my opinion, and it was very well received by the baby who ate it and wanted more.  It's packaging is convenient.  As parents, we can put the lid on a refrigerate as needed, although lids can easily get misplaced.  Since it is shaped like many juice containers today, kids are "primed" to accept this.  The nutrients appear to be very good.  The only "downside" that I see is - "plastic" containers that'll sit in landfills for ages whereas the old glass jars would be recycled easily.  I give everything that I review a grade, and I believe that this merits an "A-".  I'd try this or one of the other flavors to see if your child likes the taste.  Review the contents first to make certain that there are no known allergies.  I highly recommend this pureed baby food (something I'd never imagined that I'd ever say before).
