Lime Extract Review

Lime Extract
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I first bought this lime extract to flavor "home-made" seltzer water without the use of sugar or real lime juice in July of 2009. This extract has been very easy to use - about 6cc per liter of seltzer. I've gotten lots of compliments on the taste of the lime-infused seltzer and I'm no longer throwing out perfectly good bottles after just one use.

The shipment from JR Mushrooms was prompt... two bottles arrived in a well-padded box with lots of bubble-wrap and foam peanuts to keep them safe and sound. The bottles themselves are dark brown glass (presumably to shield the juice from the sun) and have well-fitting plastics caps. All in all, I was very happy with this purchase and the quality of the product, as of July 2009.

Recently (August 2010 - that is how long the initial 32 oz order of the old extract lasted), I ordered another set of extract. Sadly, the supplier of extract to JRMushroom has changed and so has the formulation - the extract now arrives in a clear plastic bottle, not the dark brown glass bottle of 2009. I am not convinced that the present version if terpeneless, as there is a fairly bitter aftertaste. Amit at OliveNation/JRMushrooms was very nice to refund the unopened bottle (I had bought 2) and also informed me that he is negotiating a new supplier for the stuff.

So here is what I suggest for any extract order over the internet: Order a small sample bottle ($6.5) and make sure it fits your flavor expectations before ordering a larger bottle. Plus, before you re-order, contact the seller and make sure that the flavor/supplier hasn't changed. I am a bit disappointed that Amit has not updated the Amazon web pages to reflect the new packaging, which would have been a good clue not to go ahead with a large-bottle purchase but to sample the present product first. Live and learn, I guess.

Lakewood Organic PURE Lime Juice, 12.5-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 12) Review

Someone has produced bottled lime and lemon juice that taste like fresh juice! These juices are truly delicious, with none of that skunky quality of the junk you see everywhere, and can be used in baking, sauces, on fish, etc. Throw out those plastic squeeze fruits and get yourself one of these in each flavor. Keeps about a year after opening. Would make a great stocking stuffer--hopefully I'll remember that next year!

The Beauty of One Ingredient: Coconut Water
Vita Coco is about hydration, and hydration is important no matter what you do. So while other beverages claim to be the before-, during-, and after-sports hydrator, Vita Coco is the hydrator made without added sugars, artificial sweeteners, or pick-me-ups.
In fact, the beauty of Vita Coco is that it's made with 100% pure coconut water from young, green Brazilian coconuts. (Okay, so in this case we also added a touch of 100%-pure passion fruit for a refreshing splash of flavor.)
The coconuts that are used to make Vita Coco drinks are young, green coconuts -- each one cracked by hand -- from northern Brazil that have an average age of about seven months, which is the best age to extract coconut water because it's still fat-free.
Hydrate Naturally with Five Essential Electrolytes
Sure, you may not be a marathon runner, a football player or Tour de France winner, but your every day life is hectic enough--you should be hydrated while you live it. Go ahead, get hydrated and remember that life is a sport!
Loaded with the five essential electrolytes that your body craves -- including potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium and phosphorous -- Vita Coco has what it takes to keep you hydrated and refreshed throughout your busy day.
In fact, each serving of Vita Coco has more electrolytes and 15 times more potassium than the leading sports drink, and more potassium than two bananas (about 700 mg of potassium is in each 11.2-ounce serving size). These electrolytes work to keep the body cool, help boost poor circulation, replenish your body's fluids after exercising, and aid in the detoxification process while boosting your immune system.
This cholesterol- free, fat- free and pucker-free drink can also help soothe an upset stomach, and when paired with a healthy diet, it can even promote weight loss. All this from a single, natural ingredient, and without any artificial sweeteners or added sugars.
For the Love of Passion Fruit
With a name like passion fruit, you'd expect a ditty about how this will make you more passionate. But don't go professing your love to anyone who looks at you -- just yet. The truth is this product won't be turning anyone into an irresistible Casanova. However, it will help you kick back and relax after a long stressful day. What you do with your new, relaxed self is up to you.
11.2-Ounce Tetra Pak with Peel-Away Opening
The perfect solution for an on-the-go lifestyle, the 11.2-ounce Tetra Paks give you just the right amount of Vita Coco to get you through your next task. A convenient peel-away opening makes it easier than ever to access the great taste and benefits of Vita Coco wherever you go.

Mariani Berries 'N Cherries, 6-Ounce Units (Pack of 12) Review

Mariani Berries 'N Cherries, 6-Ounce Units
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Because of the unhealthy ingredients in this product I would have rated this a ZERO, but that wasn't an option.

I bought this product thinking it would be of the same caliber as Mariani cherries, which contains "dried cherries and sugar."I'm not a fan of white sugar, nor do I buy or use it in my home, but at least it's the only other ingredient.

After I received my delivery I read the ingredients for this product- "Mariani Berries 'N Cherries, 6-Ounce Units (Pack of 12)", as I have done with everthing food item have purchased over the past 25+ years, and I found the following quite disturbing!

In addition to the fruit there are the following ingredients:1)"Sugar" (who knows what kind. I can only assume it's refinded white sugar, but it's not as bad as the following 3), 2) "High Fructose Corn Syrup" (Nasty stuff this is!), 3) "Corn Syrup" (More nasty stuff and also useless), and 4) "Sucrose" (also known as "Splenda" with the Blueberries, and linked to health problems more than the previous 3 ingredients).ALL 4 of these are unhealthy and should be baned from all foods!I was looking for something natural and healthy. There's 'nothing' natural and healthy about white "Sugar", "High Fructose Corn Syrup", "Corn Syrup", and especially "Sucrose" (better know as "Splenda")

There is quite a bit of information available that proves these 4 ingredients are unhealthy.Search each one, or search "artificial sweeteners", and you will be surprised at the negative effects these have on the health and well being of both humans and animals, despite what the manufacturers claim.

If 'all' of the ingredients had been listed in the Amazon product derscription I would NEVER have bought this product!

I will NEVER by this product again, nor will I ever buy Mariani "Wild Blueberries" again!They contain the same 4 NASTY ingredients as the "Berries 'N Cherries" product does!And they taste awful!NOTHING like real wild blueberries!

Mariani:You should have left nature alone, not tampered with the taste of fresh fruit, and only added some sunflower oil or Vitamin E.

P.S.I wonder if "High Fructose Corn Syrup", "Corn Syrup", and "Sucrose" are Kosher?

I've only used this in tea so far and it's great.It gives a nice subtle orange-y taste to regular tea (haven't tried it with green tea yet).

2) Perfect Amazon.com reviews

Everyone who has tried these cherries loved them.They're perfect.Only amazon is tricky for making them cost a few cents under the free shipping value, so you'll have to add something else to your purchase to get free shipping....maybe another box?
