These beans do not contain gelatin so vegans can feast.I love the gourmet flavors, the standard fruit flavors not so such.

Tang Fruitrition, Orange, 12.3-Ounce Unit (Pack of 6) Review

Tang Fruitrition, Orange, 12.3-Ounce Unit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If the bottle doesn't say "artificially sweetened" then the consumer has an expectation that formulations have not been changed. Tang is now just nasty tasting and gave me a serious migraine.

Tang has been reformulated to include not one...but Three artificial sweeteners, two of which have not had significant peer reviewed human testing and one of which is a known cause of migraines.

I realize that companies want to make a profit by using something cheaper than sugar, but this is ridiculous.

sucralose = splenda: Splenda (sucralose) is trichlorosucrose. It contains a primary unhindered alkyl chloride that one would not be surprised to find reactive as an alkylating agent with protein pendent lysine residues and other nucleophiles (including anchimeric assistance with one anomer and the open form). One is generally ill-advised to chronically ingest halogenated organics as food.

Acesulfame potassium: Several potential problems associated with the use of acesulfame have been raised. They are based largely on animal studies since testing on humans remains limited. The findings showed the following: Acesulfame K has been shown to stimulate insulin secretion in rats in a dose-dependent fashion thereby possibly aggravating reactive hypoglycemia ("low blood sugar attacks"). Acesulfame K apparently produced lung tumors, breast tumors, rare types of tumors of other organs (such as the thymus gland), several forms of leukemia and chronic respiratory disease in several rodent studies, even when less than maximum doses were given. According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, it was petitioned for a stay of approval by the FDA because of "significant doubt" about its safety.NeoTame: As its patent for aspartame was running out, Monsanto developed a new, more potent version of its synthetic sweetener. By adding 3-dimethylbutyl (a chemical the Environmental Protection Agency lists as hazardous) to aspartame, scientists at Monsanto drastically increased the sweetening power of the additive. The new version was named neotame. The non-profit group, Truth in Labeling, gained access to some of the neotame studies. They write, "At the time of our review of Monsanto's application, three human studies on the safety of neotame were presented. The studies had few subjects, all of whom were employees of the company. Some of the subjects reported headaches after ingesting neotame, but the researchers concluded that the headaches were not related to neotame ingestion. Not mentioned in the studies was the fact that migraine headache is, by far, the most commonly reported adverse reaction to aspartame in the files of the FDA."

La Vie Les Citrons, Naturally Flavoured Lemon Drops - 5 tins Review

La Vie Les Citrons, Naturally Flavoured Lemon Drops - 5 tins
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The title above refers not only to a semi-obscure Damon Runyan-based movie with Bob Hope (we ALL knew that), but to these classic lemon drops with a truly international pedigree:

Made in Spain; owned by the French(Cadbury France, located at 143 Boulevard Romain Rolland, Paris; imported by New Jersey's own "Euro-American Brands," Paramus, NJ07652.

All the way from Paris to your local candy seller or movie theater (which is where I experieced my first taste of La Vie en Lemon).They were everything a lemon drop should be: A sugary entrance, developing into a deeply satisfying, soul-stirring essence of pure lemon. The mouth-watering joy of the lemon drop is seductive and addictive, and I am nearly certain that sucking on these golden gems made Kurosawa's "Savage Dogs" even more enjoyable.

They're hard candies. but not so hard that you couldn't cheat and bite into one, breaking it up into ten or so smaller candies, zig-zagging around your mouth like offshoots from a single magnificent fireworks explosion.

One 2-ounce tin lasted longer than the 2 hours or so of Kurosawa's brilliant detective drama, one of his first with Toshiro Mifune, who once again delivers a compelling performance.Although the packaging is a bit precious, there's nothing pretentious about the taste of Les Citrons, and as for value, these drops are the working man or woman's workhorse.They're far less expensive than other candy (to say nothing of popcorn), and their staying power is extraordinary.

Still, this vendor charges more than some others, and with the added shipping fee one may wish to purchase theseat a local outlet (or occupying it until your lemon drop demands are met). If you're serious about your lemon drops, tt's Paris 1968 all over again.

Nutritional Information per Package (30 pieces; you could try to eat the suggested serving size of 3 drops, but I find this highly unlikely). 240 calories, no fat or sodium, 60 grams carbohydrates, 60 grams of sugar, no protein, and no trace of food allerges. Sugar, corn syrup, citric acid, natural flavor, and tumoric for color. THh lemon-decorated little tin adds a touch of Europe to any room, and is ideal for holding cuff links, tickets, keys, small, delicate make-up products, or quarters for the laundry.To paraphrase the great Margaret Dumont:
"Les Citrons, Toujours...Les Citrons!"

I first had these mints at a conference.They're great!The flavor is strong, but not overpowering.They're tiny (roughly a centimeter in diameter), but made a great centerpiece in a small bowl on the table.The mints are wrapped in colorful silver, green, blue, pink, and brown foiled papers - each color associated with a different flavor.

We had the mint variety and everyone enjoyed them very much.The variety includes such flavors as Deluxe Mint (my favorite - peppermint; in the blue wrapper), Cinnamenta (pink wrapper), CocoaMenta (brown wrapper), Meeting Mints (green wrapper), and Mentissimo (silver wrapper).

Overall, these mints taste very good and are the perfect after lunch breath freshener.I highly recommend them.

My favorite English cheese, crumbly yet with a creamy finish as it warms up in the mouth. Perfect withaplate of fruit and crackers and a mild salami. Wish it were available in larger portions as the shipping is pretty steep.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Wensleydale with Cranberries (7 ounce)

Product Description:
The only true Wensleydale cheese in the world comes from the milk drawn from cows that graze the sweet limestone pastures on farms in Upper Wensleydale, England. First made there during the Norman invasion, when French monks from the Roquefort region were brought over to practice their cheese-making skills. The Wensleydale pastures give the cheese the unique, refreshing flavor for which it is renowned. The cheese is a fresh, young cheese taken at only three weeks old. It has a clean, mild, slightly sweet flavor with a honeyed aftertaste. The superb texture of fresh Wensleydale is perfectly complemented by the addition of all natural cranberries of the finest quality. Wensleydale with Cranberries is an innovative blend of flavors and a superb visual experience.

    Made from pasteurized cow's milk.
    Suitable for vegetarians.

Golden Island Mandarin Orange Beef Jerky 4 oz Bag Review

Golden Island Mandarin Orange Beef Jerky 4 oz Bag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm a salty-snack fiend. I've always liked the dry, salty strips of jerky. I'm a little odd in my tastes in that I like stuff typically dry and crunchy, so sometimes I'll even leave a bag of jerky open and leave it in my glovebox for weeks to get it just right. I am not a big fan of marinated jerky - it's usually just slimy, and you nearly rip your head off biting a piece from it and then your jaw is sore for hours from all the chewing to get the gristle-filled lube-fest masticated enough to swallow safely.

During a road trip, I stopped at a gas station and picked up some staples. I knew from experience that the other brands available at this pitstop were jerky's I was not fond of, and so I gave this one a go.

This stuff practically melts in your mouth. Marinated, but not greasy. Easy to chew, and no noticable gristle or fat globules. It's not the type of jerky I would have normally gone for, but I'm so glad I did. On the way back from my road trip, I stopped at the same gas station and bought all the packets they had.

Beef jerky has gotten so expensive over the years, you'd think they were marinating it in super-unleaded gasoline. This is one bag of beef jerky that you will not think is over-priced once you try it. If jerky were served at gourmet restaurants, this would be the brand to serve. My hat is off to Golden Island Cuisine for re-inventing the ancient art of drying meat to preserve it and making it taste good without pumping it full of MSG and formaldehyde.

Sugar-free (Nutra-sweet) grape has been remade in a cannister form, similar to Crystal Light's packaging.Each packet makes 2 quarts.

This is a better value than what I buy at the store, even when it's on sale.At the store it's 4 familiar looking packets in a box for $3.35; $2.50 on sale.The Amazon product has 6 packets for $3.30; so it's like you're getting 2 packets free! I had free shipping because I'm a Prime member so it won't be as good a deal if there are shipping costs.

Kashi TLC Fruit & Grain Bar, Raspberry Chocolate, 6-Count Bars
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My love affair with Kashi products is recent but no less intense for that.My pregnancy inspired me to try to adopt a healthier diet and one of the things I've been concentrating on is eliminating high fructose corn syrup.After looking at boxes and boxes of cereal bars and granola bars, I've come to rely on Kashi products because I know they don't use high fructose corn syrup.I saw this particular flavor at the store one day and quickly became hooked.I now order them by the six pack via Amazon.

The bars are a chewy sort of granola bar with a layer that's a mixture of raspberry and chocolate, topped with chopped almonds.There isn't a strong chocolate flavor to them; rather, it is more subtle with a nice hint of raspberry.In short, the bars are truly delicious.It's nice to eat something that feels like an indulgence but is providing your body with lots of healthy whole grains.I've found that eating these bars has really helped curb my sugar cravings and has made me less inclined to want highly processed foods as they are beginning to taste cloying and artificial to me in comparison with the natural, delicious flavor of these bars.

Yogi Green Tea Kombucha, Herbal Tea Supplement, 16-Count Tea Bags (Pack of 6) Review

Yogi Green Tea Kombucha, Herbal Tea Supplement, 16-Count Tea Bags
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
*****
This Organic Green Tea Kombucha from Yogi Tea is certainly unique. It tastes like a mixture of passion fruit, plum, ginger, and green tea. It is mild, and not bitter at all, even when you leave the tea bag in the whole time you drink the tea, as I do. Best of all, it is an easy, convenient way of benefiting from Kombucha, if you don't grow your own (and I don't anymore, as it is not easy or convenient for me). I have never before obtained my Kombucha from a tea; this is a tasty way to do so.

I am definitely impressed with this tea and with Yogi Teas in general. Organic Green Tea Kombucha comes with an expiration date (a good thing, because it's not full of preservatives, plus you can tell if it is fresh). Yogi Tea seems to be another company (like Numi, Aspen, Traditional Medicinals) that values sustainable and healthy practices. Their web site has a helpful glossary of tea ingredients and is beautifully designed, with info about each tea they make.

Yogi Tea writes this on the box about the tea's benefits: "Green Tea Kombucha is based on an ancient remedy and offers a convenient form of Kombucha designed for daily use. Legend has it that some 2,000 years ago, Kombucha originated in Russia, and from there it traveled to Japan. Since then it has been used to detoxify the body, enhance the immune system, fight fatigue and soothe an upset stomach. This special healing formula is made withOrganic Green Tea (Camellia sinensis), which is organically grown and, unlike other green teas, has a delicate flavor with no bitterness. Green Tea has excellent antioxidant properties. To it we have added a concentrated purified extract of Kombucha-Pure(tm), which is produced without the use of refined sugar or black tea, and is made from Kombucha grown in a unique medium of 32 supporting Chinese herbs. The recipe is complemented with Organic Spearmint, which can help to relax the body and aid digestion; Organic Licorice Root, to support the adrenals and enhance the effects of other healing herbs; and Dong Quai Root, a well-known tonic. Once the benefits of these ingredients are released by hot water, you are ready to enjoy a delicious, delightful and soothing cup of tea - and one that is naturally rich in antioxidants and other health-supporting qualities."

Yogi Tea's use of "Kombucha-Pure", grown in 32 Chinese herbs and WITHOUT black tea or sugar is very, very appealing, and a new and exciting way of producing Kombucha.

Note that Yogi Tea also makes a decaf version of this tea that has exactly the same ingredients except that the organic green tea is decaffeinated---naturally, of course!

Highly recommended.

Vita Coco 100% Pure Coconut Water, 11.2-Ounce Containers (Pack of 12) Review

Vita Coco 100% Pure Coconut Water, 11.2-Ounce Containers
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Each of these three products has a number of reviews.I don't have much to add to any of the individual reviews.Coconut water is great, if you are in the market for a case of it you already know this.But which of these three is the best?

I went around town and found 5 boxes of each of the three brands (15 total) each, with no two boxes of a the same brand coming from the same supplier.The goal was to get a wide range of product batches.This I am happy to report was pointless.All three brands produce an internally consistent product.

I then ordered a 12 pack of all three brands from Amazon.The only significant difference in packaging is that O.N.E. glues a little telescoping straw to each individual box, the other two brands do not.If you are a straw person this is a feature if not this is just more trash, you decide.The amount per container varies slightly by brand but given the price fluctuation on Amazon I don't consider the 0.1 Ozdifferences an important factor.

All three are made in Brazil, O.N.E. mentions that it is pasteurized the other two do not (nevertheless, I suspect all three are).

On pure taste, at refrigerator temperature, I found Zico to be the best (say 5/5), but only nominally better than O.N.E. (4.5/5), Vita was a distant third (3/5).Both Zico and O.N.E. taste almost exactly like drinking right from a fresh green coconut.Vita, on the other hand, has a grape aftertaste which I did not like.At room temperature the order remained the same; however, the differences in taste became more obvious: Zico (5/5), O.N.E. (4/5), Vita (2/5).Obviously all of this is subjective.

I observed the price of three on Amazon over the course of a month.Zico (~$24) was consistently more expensive than the other two (~$18-21) which traded places as the least expensive.

Considering the price and quality, O.N.E. is my choice and the brand to which I now subscribe.I consider Zico an excellent, but over priced, product and Vita an inferior product.If, however, I preferred my coconut water at room temperature I would give strong consideration to paying the extra money for Zico.If I used my coconut water as a mixer I would buy which ever one is cheapest at the time.

All three products are better than nothing (the previous option) and I am happy to see them on the market.

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.
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.
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.

These bars are relatively low in fat--and there's no trans-fat--thank goodness! They have no cholesterol and they are low in sodium. They do have 26 grams of carbohydrates per bar, however.

The vitamin and nutrition information is good but it could have been better. I suspect Kellogg's "sugars these up" to make them sweet and a bit more addictive than they really should be. There's no vitamin C but you do get some vitamin content including B6 and A. Of course, these bars don't provide 100% of these vitamins. They're not truly health bars. In addition, they do contain some sugar. If that is a concern for you, ask your doctor before eating these cereal bars.

Overall, as another reviewer notes, these are great for kids who don't want breakfast before school; and if you're on the go these are better than candy bars for sure! Try some and see!
