MaraNatha Organic No Stir Creamy Peanut Butter -- 16 oz
Granted, it's "organic palm oil", but the palm oil industry is guilty of horrific ecological atrocities, including the systematic genocide of endangered orangutans and decimation of rain forests. (If you google "orangutans and palm oil", it'll break your heart). And palm oil labeled "green" or "organic" is generally considered "greenwashing" it's still grown in palm farms which have replaced vital rain forest so I'm skeptical.
Plus palm oil is not so good for our health. I'm surprised that Maranatha would include it.
Maranatha DOES makes a good quality, tasty organic peanut butter that is a better option than their "no stir" type. It's delicious and has "no additives, sweeteners, chemicals, preservatives or trans fats" and less ethical concerns too. You can find it here on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Maranatha-Pnut-Crmy-Salt-16-Ounce/dp/B00060N592/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1354476981&sr=8-2&keywords=maranatha+organic+peanut+butterI have tried them ALL even making my own, which would be the best if I could get fresh organic peanuts. In lieu of that, I've been eating this p.b. for over four years. It's great with anything p.b. goes with, even better all alone on a spoon.
Eat and enjoy!

In the weight control program that I follow, peanut butter is either a "fat" or a "protein". With that in mind, I have tried different peanut butters and have narrowed my preferences down to two brands, Maranatha being one. My reasons:-Organic: made with certified organic peanuts and if that is important to you, then Maranatha is a great choice.
-Additives: NO hydrogenated oils, NO sugar added; no nothing except for a tiny trace of salt. But, this does not taste salty at all
-Great taste: This should have been first. Maranatha has a mild, mellow, peanutty taste. I really do like it.
-Great texture: truly smooth and creamy. Easy to spread even on soft bread
Hint: This is NOT homogenized; the oil is on the top of the peanut butter when you open the jar. You have to mix it in but, fear not! Stick a butter knife down into the middle of the jar and move it ever so slightly, creating an opening into which the oil can flow. Repeat this a few times and most of the oil will be gone from the top. Stir and then enjoy. You will NOT have to mix again.
Summary: A wonderful way to get those "fat" allowances from a healthful type of fat. This peanut butter has made my weight control easier because I substitute it for far less satisfying fats and it seems as though I am eating something sinfully sensational.

This product has a good taste, it is also fortunate that unlike other brands this seems to be the easiest to spread on toast after taking out of the fridge (though it still is not as easy as it should be and does require patience)Want MaraNatha Organic No Stir Creamy Peanut Butter -- 16 oz Discount?

- Buckwheat Pancake Mix are a delicious, nutritious and energizing start to the day
- It offers many health benefits
- Certified organic by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA)
I find that pancake/waffle batter is a wonderful place to hide healthy additions like soy protein powder (add a little water), flax seed, etc. I use organic coconut oil and add fun items like chocolate chips, banana, or walnuts to the batter for a breakfast that makes me (and my whole family) feel upbeat and energetic for many hours into the day, even if I only have one pancake!
Well done, Hodgson Mill!

Its been a long time since I had Buck wheat pancakes and waffles. Just had a desire to try them again.

Rating: 4/5 (Excellent)
I bought a pint of this yesturday in the self-serve grains aisle at my local Whole Foods store yesturday. I was initially curious because I like to keep informed on new culinary trends, and this was listed as a "raw organic superfood cereal" (one of several), and I was hooked after trying a small cluster.
Likes:
* High Nutrient Density: This cereal is jam packed with a wide assortment of organic sprouts, spirulina, hemp protein, spinach powder, coconut ... and they even use gourmet himalayan salt and organic palm sugar. They clearly didn't skimp on anything when they made this stuff.
* Taste: Flavor and texture wise, try to picture a blend of assorted sprouted & dry toasted cereal grains, hemp protein, GREENSuperFood powder, coconut, and raisins, which are then lightly sprayed with organic liquid palm sugar (to sweeten and bind it together), and then everything is coarsely ground into a dark green semi-chunky granola-like grit. You can either nibble it straight as a dry mix snackfood, or eat it like a classic swiss granola with your favorite milk or non-dairy substitute (ex: almond milk).
* Semi-Sweetness: I liked the fact that this product is sweetened with restraint there's just enough to balance and bind the cereal, and there's also just enough salt to round out and counterbalance the other flavors. Make makers of this product clearly put a lot of effort into getting this blend just right.
Minor nits:
* Bite: As with some raw foods products, this can seem a bit hard and tiring to chew after a while ... until you get used to it. Perhaps not a first choice as a snack mix for people with dental issues.
* Price: As of this writing, my local Whole Foods had this in their loose grains bin aisle for $11/lb ... a bit pricey at first glance, but still reasonable given the high end ingredients that go into it, and surprisingly competitive compared to other premium granola cereals. This is also a very dense cereal 1 cup (about 5 oz), with milk, is a good sized serving.
Highly recommended, if you can find it at a decent price.

I ordered this product because I was looking to add some lesser known nutrients to my diet and I was really surprised by how good it tastes! Even my toddler likes it, which is amazing. I realize that some of the ingredients are not regulated by the FDA which means the health claims aren't "officially" substantiated. But, I think we all know that alternative supplements can be very good. In any event, if the health benefits are even 50% of what is claimed, I'm totally happy with it and planning to buy some for my extended family.Bigelow K-Cup Portion Pack for Keurig Brewers, English Breakfast Tea

There was a problem with the packaging. I received the item and three of the six containers were open. I called Amazon and they sent a replacement right away. The second shipment also had three open packages, so I got my six undamaged however, I don't know if I'll order these again.Read Best Reviews of Klein's Naturals Apricots, Organic, (Pack of 6) Here
The actual apricots are quite good despite an occasional apricot pit not being removed. Yes these apricots are untreated and brown in color!Basically the only problem is the packaging of the product is flimsy and the lids do not secure well. Beneath the lid is a very delicate seal, usually slightly raised with air. Secondly the individuals containers are placed into a divided cardboard box which is slightly too small. This is how I've never received a box that didn't have ruptured seals. My 1st box arrived with 2 of 6 seals ruptured, the free 2nd box arrived with 4 of 6 ruptured. For all my hassle, I only ended up with exactly what I paid for, no more and no less.
That being said, I still rate 4 out of 5 stars because I did eventually get what I paid for, and I do appreciate organic at this price.

I'm a daily tea drinker and I like my tea strong, which is why I use loose tea. It is easier to control the strength than it is to add 2 or more tea bags to a pot. Who wants to deal with those strings? And it's nice to have the tea floating loosely within the hot water. Anyway, I had been drinking another brand because of its reputation and the bulk price, but found that this tea also had a good reputation and a better bulk price, so I tried it out. It tastes good, in fact very similar to the other tea I had been using. Maybe a bit more body and flavor, but fairly similar. The packaging is better. It is easier to re-seal and feel confident that the tea is kept fresh. At any rate, I'm very happy with this tea and would recommend it to anyone who drinks tea.Read Best Reviews of Barrys Gold Loose Tea 250g Here
Bought this at an Irish shop, WOW. I have had all sorts of tea from all around the world.. each proclaming that they are the best or most popular.Let me tell you, once this hits your lips.. you will never seek out another brand of black tea.
WOW.Barry's Tea is a ground tea not a leaf tea. You can only get one cup of tea from each spoonful. The flavor is full bodied. I enjoy it any time of the day but especially at breakfast. I will buy this tea again.
Coffee People Tree Hugger Fair Trade & Organic, 24-Count K-Cups for Keurig Brewers (Pack of 2)
I just compared my first morning cup of this coffee with my favorite k-cup, Timothy's Rainforest Espresso, and find the Tree Hugger to lack depth. It has neither the strong coffee scent or taste I desire but it is smooth, with no chickory-like bitterness and not nauseatingly weak like some of the flavored coffees.
Unless my family requests it, I won't buy it again.
Added note: I thought I might be too harsh in my review so today I had Rainforest first and Tree Hugger second. Tree Hugger is a decent cup of coffee and better than McDonald's but still not as good as Rainforest.My favorite K-cup as been Timothys x-bold rainforest blend, and I think treehuggers every bit as good. For me, a 10oz.cup is strong yet mellow, but usually I make it a 14 oz. (take it plain) which is about the strenght of most restaurant coffees. Good restaurant quality pretty much describes this blend. I love that it's it fair trade and organic, but doesn't specify rainforest alliance certification. That is important to me, enough to spend more money, and drink less. Timothys rainforest is certified and that is enough to sway me to their side.If you like a light to medium roast coffee you can't do much better than this.
This is the absolute best tasting coffee I've tried to date and I've tried quite a few of them. I used to think CP donut shop was good, CP kona was a little better IMO, but tree hugger puts them both on the back burner for me.
This was so good I had to get it on auto delivery, which by the way makes this coffee only $17.25 per 48 k-cups or 36 cents a piece, you can't find a cup this good for a better price.Tree Hugger is good for those who drink coffee black.
If you put cream in your coffee then you may like Santa Buzz better since it is like Tree Hugger but a little stronger.
In many of these reviews people don't say whether they drink coffee black or with cream, etc. Coffee seems to get toned down when things are added to it.
