Wonka Everlasting Gobstopper Movie Box 4 boxes Review

Wonka Everlasting Gobstopper Movie Box 4 boxes
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Willy Wonka's Everlasting Gobstoppers are a box of small jawbreakers you suck on. These really do keep changing colors while you eat them just like in the movie, and they do last a very long time. The only minor drawback is that they are not the same strange shape as the one in the movie, but the common round shape instead. They do not have gum inside like a gumball, but are candy all the way, good fruity flavor too.

Navitas Naturals Organic Goji Berries Himalayan Superfruit, 10 Pounds Bag Review

Navitas Naturals Organic Goji Berries Himalayan Superfruit, 10 Pounds Bag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was so excited to get a good deal on raw gogi berries. They are usually $15 a lb or more. I have tried them several times before and they were always quite chewy, like raisins, but less plump. The goji berries I have eaten in the past were also raw with no additives(unlike the mass marketed kind with sugar and oil added), so I expected these to be the same. These actually crack and turn to powder when you crush them with your fingers. I tried soaking them, but they just taste like waterlogged, goji-flavored bark. I wanted to return them, but the return info says food items must be returned unopened. I am pretty disappointed in the texture of these goji berries. The expiration date indicates they are fresh (one full year before expiration). I guess I will just grind them up to make powder to add to smoothies and raw chocolate recipes. In the future, however, I will pay the extra money for the chewy goji berries, which taste great on their own and in recipes. The ones I bought here have OK flavor, but they are just so dry. A friend suggested i soak them and try dehydrating them again. I don't know if i want to bother with that, or if it will even work. the good news is that because they are so dry, the 10 lb bag is pretty big. I imagine that it would take fewer goji berries to make 10 lbs if they were more chewy. Also, this product is much more expensive elsewhere, even when purchased wholesale with a huge minimum order, so if you don't mind dry berries, this is an inexpensive way to get all the benefits of goji berries. Plus, i didn't have to pay shipping with Amazon Prime. That's a huge savings.
The raw cacao powder I bought on Amazon, also from Nativas, was quite good.Navitas Naturals Raw Chocolate Powder, Organic, 16-Ounce Bags (Pack of 2) I highly recommend it. I also bought raw agave nectar (2x 46 oz raw) here, and it is excellent.Madhava Organic Raw Agave Nectar, 46-Ounce Bottle (Pack of 2)

Navitas Naturals Organic Raw Chocolate Nibs, King of Cacao 16 Ounce Pouch (Pack of 2) Review

Navitas Naturals Organic Raw Chocolate Nibs,  King of Cacao 16 Ounce Pouch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm a certified chocoholic with a weight problem. I had heard that cacao nibs had all the health benefits of dark chocolate (way more, actually) without the sugar and junk food aspects. They are loaded with antioxidants and have those powerful endorphin releasing stimulants. They are also quite high in fiber (but also in saturated fats).

I got my big pile of Navitas Naturals nibs and dug right in. Well - these are a bit of an acquired taste; but once acquired, they really satisfy. Cacao nibs are broken pieces of raw whole cacao beans that have been dried (and that's it). They are brown, with a dark cocoa smell, and a seductive texture that's partly like a coffee bean (crunchy and hard), and partly like a piece of chocolate (buttery with a crisp and then melting fat). The flavor initially gives you a cocoa hit and then a winey fermented flavor that is hard to describe. The aftertaste is bitter like baking chocolate. Like a coffee bean, there's some fibrous grit with the aftertaste after the creamy fats have dissolved on your tongue. My first impressions was "phew - that's disgusting". The winey flavor was off-putting and the bitterness in the aftertaste was hard to take. That didn't prevent me from immediately having more, however - as the crisp rich creamy quality made me want more. After a few pinches (maybe 3/4s of a tablespoon) I was flying! I mean, these things are POTENT. They really are loaded with all those endorphin releasing stimulants - and man they wake you up and then make you feel loved. Over the next few days I kept a big baggie of these in my pack and ate them whenever I wanted a cup of coffee. The stimulant effect is totally as strong as coffee - and more. To go with the speed, there's a feeling of well being and intellectual stimulation that's seductive in the extreme. I began to almost enjoy the odd powerful flavor. My only concerns at this point are whether these are addictive! About 1/2 way through my bag I have yet to hit a stem or a stone or an inedible piece (unlike what I've heard with some other brands). The flavor and texture is pretty consistent as I work my way through too - pretty good for a totally raw organic product.

I found that I could grind them up into powder in the blender and use the powder to "cocoa" up various foods (especially ones bearing some sweetness). For example, after my workout I'd put a tablespoon of nibs and a tablespoon of chia seeds in the blender and grind nice and fine and then toss in a fist full of frozen blueberries, a glug of Walden Farms zero calorie chocolate sauce, 8 oz water and two scoops of whey protein powder (chocolate flavor, of course) and then blend. It all whips up into a rich chocolatey blueberry shake that packs the nutritional wallop of a steak dinner with omega 3 oils, TONS of antioxidants, and a wicked emotional and blood sugar pick-me-up. You can buy the powder pre-ground, but I imagine the goodies keep better in this coarsely cracked version.

All in all - I think of cacao nibs as much as a drug like coffee as I do a food. People who eat ultra-dark chocolate for the health aspects should absolutely check nibs out because my body tells me they have WAY MORE of the chemical goodies of chocolate with far less sugar and fat. They also are brimming with a rich raw cocoa flavor that's weird and wonderful and hard to describe. If you are bent in this way - this stuff is wonderful.

Sun Maid California Raisins, 6-Count, 1.5-Ounce Cartons (Pack of 8) Review

Sun Maid California Raisins, 6-Count, 1.5-Ounce Cartons
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Sun Maid raisins are the best brand of raisins on your grocer's shelf--period. These raisins are rather healthy for you. There is no fat, no cholesterol and almost zero sodium to boot! They offer fiber and potassium and that's good, too.

However, this food is not an invariable substitute for a vitamin or other fruits with fiber, minerals and vitamins. They are relatively high in sugar (29 grams per 1/4 cup) and they lack vitamins. I'll have to take off one star for that.

However, if you want a healthy snack or something to add to your breakfast cereal or oatmeal, these raisins are excellent. They taste great and they are far better than any candy to sweeten your food. Moreover, Amazon correctly notes that the raisins do not require refrigeration nor do they bruise or spoil easily.

These raisins are great for persons everywhere who prefer to feed their children fruits as a substitute for candy. They are perfect for people who want to sweeten their food with something 100% natural, too. These 1.5-ounce cartons provide us all with a healthy snack; and that's a huge plus.

Highly recommended--to life!

Newman's Own Organics Organic California Raisins, 15-Ounce Cans (Pack of 6) Review

Newman's Own Organics Organic California Raisins, 15-Ounce Cans
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you're used to those best-selling boxed raisins that feature a health woman happily working in the fields, get real, and then get Newman's Organic Raisins.

These may be the best-tasting grocery raisins you've ever had. Nothing even approaches these for their flavor, texture, and all those Newman Company extras that aficionados like me adore. (We're talking organic ingredients, environmentally sound production, profits donated to the needy, and supporting the goals of one of the most compelling actors of all time, and a heck of a nice guy as well.)

But back to the food at hand.

These are plump, JUICY raisins, startlingly different from the usual fare. I don't know how they do it, but Newman's Organic California Raisns retain their natural flavor; pleasant scent, and a succulent mouth feel that one expects from fine port.One "secret" may be the ingredients: Raisins. C'est tout. Make that ingredient, in fact. THe only thing missing is Newman's usual story on the package--usually some wild, adventurous story shedding light on the product, and featuring Mr. Newman as raconteur-narrator.Perhaps with raisins this classically delicious, we must resort to the Latin --"Res Ipsa Loquitor" -- the thing speaks for itself. Unbelievable.

Fruits of the Earth - 360 g - Powder Review

Fruits of the Earth - 360 g - Powder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm not a big fruit eater, generally preferring the taste of savory fruits, vegetables, and greens. Incorporating fruits is so important, however, so I find consuming about a serving of this almost daily to be a very satisfying way of ensuring I get not only high-quality fruits, but such a diverse array of them. Healthforce is a company passionate about quality, and everything this company makes is truly organic, wildcrafted, full of natural soil organisms, and so much more. Best of all, the company is actively evolving each product (they are actually versioned, how cool is that?).

Some strong points specific to this product:

1. No fillers
2. Strict, high quality organic standards ("Truganic")
3. Balanced with about 20% alkalizing super foods
4. Massive array of probiotics ("Natural soil organisms" or NSOs)
5. Lots and lots of different kinds of quality fruits that wouldbe hard to get from the average grocery store (e.g., graviola, goji berry, acai, lacuna, bilberry juice, and so on)
6. Homeopathic
7. Blood sugar balance built in (Actual food chromium, nopal cactus)
8. 100% food/grocery (not a supplement)
9. Versioned (so you can keep track of its evolution)
10. Dried at low temperatures to preserve heat-sensitive elements (it's "raw")
11. Vegan

The taste is OK--not bad, but it probably won't taste like your favorite fruit. It's not cheap to buy, but neither is the quality cheap. You really get a lot of health-bang for you buck with this or any of the Healthforce products. I consider this my #1 health food/supplement company, and one look at my pantry demonstrates this (another favorite is Garden of Life).
