Soursop Leaves Tea Review

Soursop Leaves Tea
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Description of the product says: "Soursop Leaves Tea". Actually, I have received a small bag (about 1/2 once) of Soursop Leaves not the TEA. Besides that, the quality of the leaves is marginal - they were not dried properly and look and smell similar to brownish autumn leaves in the late autumn forest. And to make it all just a bit better: the bag contains in addition to the bad dried leaves - small particles of grass and herbs dust. Now you got the picture - if it describes the product you are willing to brew a tea from - go ahead and order, otherwise STAY AWAY!

Emily's Dark Chocolate Covered Blueberries 5oz Review

Emily's Dark Chocolate Covered Blueberries 5oz
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First of all, just because you see "dark chocolate" and "blueberries" doesn't make something healthy. Adding lots of sugar and processed, non-organic milk to raw cacao and/or blueberries quickly reduces their potential health benefits. (Plus corn syrup, etc.) Also, these are NOT all-natural ingredients in the sense of "from nature," as many of these ingredients are highly processed. They do not have any artificial colors or flavors though. (But "natural flavor" can mean a lot of things, and these include natural flavor.)

Anyway, I was specifically disappointed not to find any ingredient labels online, even at Emily's website (so I've listed them below), but did want to try out the taste of these and the strawberries as well. The strawberries were much better. The blueberries had sort of a funny taste to me; some actually were pretty good, and then you'd get one that really DIDN'T taste good. Of course this is subjective, but I like the strawberries better. Both are pretty good, considering that they're packaged fruit.

For those wanting the ingredient list before buying them, here's what the package says:

INGREDIENTS: Dark Chocolate (sugar, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, milk fat, soy lecithin added as an emulsifier, and vanilla), Dried Blueberries (blueberries, sugar, natural flavor, citric acid, sunflower oil), Corn Syrup, Tapioca Dextrin, Confectioner's Glaze (refined lac.).

I love these fruit snacks.I have bought them from other stores in the past, and they were great.The ones Amazon delivers will come fast, but just as fast as they are delivered, is how quickly they will go stale.I don't know what it is, but within a few weeks these were already starting to taste...well...not so fresh.So unless you plan on going through the 48 packs in 48 days, I would say to look elsewhere.

Naked 100% Naked Coconut Water, 11.2-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12) Review

Naked 100% Naked Coconut Water, 11.2-Ounce Boxes
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have tried about 5 brands of coconut water, Amy and Bryans, ONE, Nature Factor, Zico, and VitaCoco.This one has the most subtle taste of all of them and looking at the nutritional listing on the box, seems to contain the least amount of sugar.For some, it might taste like water since the flavor does not seem to come out compared to the other brands.

Amy and Bryans and Nature Factor coconuts are way too sweet for my taste and I think they get their coconut water from Thailand.Vita Coco tastes a bit tart.

Zico used to be my favorite before they switch from all natural to concentrate and though I have not tried it, based on other people's reviews, it does not come close to any of these particular ones.

So in the end, ONE coconut will be the brand I will continue to buy and if Zico comes back into the market, I might pick them second.For my taste, the ONE brand tastes the best.

I would rate this at 3.5 star but since that is not available, I guess I will put it at 3. It just tastes too close to water.

Fresh Tropical Gold Hawaiian Pineapples (Case) Review

Fresh Tropical Gold Hawaiian Pineapples
Average Reviews:

Unless you're allergic and your tongue feels like it just brushed a cactus, I don't know anyone who dislikes the taste of pineapples.I actually love to grill my pineapple and have it with grilled chicken or other meats.The searing brings out its juices and makes it even sweeter - you don't have to grill it for very long.

Pineapples are not only a delicious fruit high in various nutrients, but they can also play a role in your skin care regimen.Pineapples are high in alpha hydroxy acid, a skin cleanser and exfoliant.The next time you want to give your face a nice cleaning, take a piece of freshly cut pineapple and rub it all over your face in slow circular motions.Wait 5 minutes and rinse.Follow up with moisturizer and I guarantee your face will glow and feel nice and taut.

Average Reviews:

"without any sulfites, preservatives, hydrogenated oils, artificial colors or flavors."

...but not without a great deal of sugar and high-fructose corn sweetener. Like the previous reviewer I bought these at Costco. Brought them back due to the sickly-sweet taste. There was so much added sugar it was getting a little difficult to taste the berries.

If you prefer berries au naturel or with just a little extra sweetness, watch the ingredient list on these. Sugar is the second ingredient by weight - and corn syrup is the fourth.

Gjetost - Pound Cut (1 pound) Review

Gjetost - Pound Cut
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Gjetost is a Norwegian delicacy.

My fiance's beloved Aunt (at over 80 years of age) still gets up every morning at 4:00 in northern Norway to (single-handedly) tend her goats and cows.Gjetost is made from a blend of cow's milk and super-nutritious goat milk.

It has a slighly sweet disposition which comes from carmelizing the sugars in the blended milks.

This cheese is an excellent morning starter. It has a concentration of natural sugars in it (most Norwegian dairy products are organic even if they are not labeled so).

My fiance has to go to her Norwegian church in New York to get this delicacy as you usually cannot find it anywhere in the U.S.. There, on weekend mornings, the ladies prepare fresh waffles with this cheese melted over them. YUM!

It doesn't get any better.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Gjetost - Pound Cut (1 pound)

Product Description:
This Norwegian cheese is made from a mixture of cow and goat's milk. It has an unusual, sweet flavor due to the way in which it is processed. The milk is cooked until the sugars in it have caramelized, giving the cheese its distinctive brown color and sweet flavor. The milk is then curded and pressed. The cheese became popular as a skiers' snack and thus the label on the whole cheese is emblazoned with the words "Ski Queen".It is widely popular among Scandinavians, and children in the United States are drawn to its sweet flavor.

    Made from pasteurized cow and goat's milk.

This is really a great way to have breakfast at your office or practically anywhere.However, they don't give you an equal distribution of the various cereals.Here is the breakdown (from the side of the box):

16: 2.1oz Frosted Flakes
8 : 1.5oz Froot Loops
12: 2.8oz Rasin Bran Crunch
10: 1.5oz Apple Jacks
10: 1.5oz Corn Pops
4(!): Cocoa Rice Krispies

The main reason I got this over using regular boxes was that I wanted a variety of different cereals.However, there are way too many Frosted Flakes and far too few Rice Krispies.Kind of takes the "variety" out of variety pack.

Yuzu Juice - 5.06 Oz Review

Yuzu Juice - 5.06 Oz
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit, eaten during the winter, sometimes translated as "citron."It has a very unique and luxurious taste.I have one cookbook that attempts to replicate the flavor by combining grapefruit, lemon and lime juice, but it just doesn't work.

I got addicted to cooking with yuzu when I lived in Japan, as it adds a special touch to many dishes.The juice isn't used as often as the aromatic peel, but even just splashing some of grilled fish adds a really nice layer.

The fruit is ubiquitous and cheap in Japan, costing no more than lemons and considerably less than limes.There are some growers in California, but the fruit is still too obscure to show up even at specialty grocery stores.Because of that, even this small bottle of juice is going to cost quite a bit of cash.I have seen it sell for somewhat cheaper at local Asian specialty stores, but if this is your only access to the product at least it is available!

You can get the yuzu flavor in the peppery pesto-like Yuzu Kosho, which is a must in my kitchen.The yuzu flavored soy-sauce ponzu is also available for less than the pure juice. (Although check the label. Sometimes ponzu is flavored with another Japanese fruit, sudachi, rather than yuzu.)

But be careful.Once you go yuzu, you won't be going back.

Product Description:
Yuzu is a sour Japanese citrus fruit, used both for its juice and its aromatic rind. The yuzu (which is about the size of a tangerine) has an aroma and flavor that is distinct from any other citrus fruit, somewhat akin to a cross between grapefruit and lime.Traditionalists will insist that many Japanese dishes are not authentic without this rare and hard to find juice!
