Bear Valley Pemmican Bars, Fruit & Nut, 3.75-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12)

I always buy two cases of Pemmican bars, one chocolate and one fruit & nut. When they arrive, I put them into the freezer and take one out whenever I want to take one for lunch at work. It is defrosted by then and ready to eat. I really like the fact that it is not too sweet.

This product will keep you alive. Significant calorie count. Fairly high carb/protein ratio for energy. Oddly nice, mild taste; reminiscent of fruit cake. 10g (40% daily) of fiber! It will power through your digestive system with the inexorable force of a fruit-n'-nut-flavored glacier. You know that saying about the bear doing something in the woods? That'll be you. Not a bad thing, just keep it in mind.

Buy Bear Valley Pemmican Bars, Fruit & Nut, 3.75-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12) Now

Before we moved to our current location, I use to buy these bars at a local health food store. I haven't found them locally where we are now so I was pleased to find them at Amazon. I like to take these bars to work for lunch or take them when I am traveling. When I am on the road I have had them for breakfast as well. I like the taste and they are really filling and curb your hunger for some time, although I often have a little something else with them at lunch. They keep well, do not require refrigeration, and are just so convenient. You would need to try them for yourself to see if you like the flavor and texture but I like them very much. I feel good about eating them too as they are a sensible food.

Read Best Reviews of Bear Valley Pemmican Bars, Fruit & Nut, 3.75-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12) Here

I was introduced to Pemmican bars at Philmont Scout Ranch. Specifically the cocoa karob. I ate pretty well when the kids I was with turned up their noses at these bits of real food. The cocoa karob, specifically, was just too far removed from the candy they wanted in a bar. This was food.

These things rock. It's really a food bar, though they get lumped with energy bars a lot. They have a ton of complex carbs, good fats, fruits, fibers, food, etc. lumped into a hunk that you can easly find room for in a backpack. Then, provided you have enough water to get some portion of it down... you're good to go.

The flavor is not very exciting, and the bars are very dense. The fruit and nut is fairly sweet, but not what I would call a fruit bar. I prefer the cocoa karob, which is less sweet and seems to have less of the malty flavors going on in the fruit and nut.

I've taken these for ultra trail runs that had no aid stations. They are a must on backpacking trips. I grab them when I need food during the day, but am not going to get a full meal in. I can eat these fairly regularly without getting too tired of them, and unlike all the other bars out there, when I eat a Pemmican bar I feel like I have eaten something. I feel full, and ready to move on.

Want Bear Valley Pemmican Bars, Fruit & Nut, 3.75-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12) Discount?

Forget Clif, Luna, Builder's, Power Bar, Nature Valley or any other goop/grain brick you see in the stores. They can't carry the wrapper for a Pemmi Bar. Tasty, energy-packed, nutritionally balanced and all natural, these gems rock. I discovered the Raisin Nut variety 30 years ago, and they've been saving me ever since. They banish hunger, taste great and don't punish you with a sugar crash (I'm sensitive to this).

NOTE: Eat these babies slowly. If you don't take small bites, you'll think you just bit into a chewy cotton ball. Pemmi Bars need saliva. So if you give them the space and time to generate it, you'll be a happy camper, biker, worker, traveler, spectator, parent or any other human who needs quick, big-time sustenance.

BONUS: Pemmi Bars keep amazingly--probably indefinitely in the freezer, where I store mine. But I've eaten unrefrigerated bars literally years old. Taste and consistency suffer, but they still get the job done.

At 420 calories a bar, Pemmi Bars outpunch all the rest and can easily replace a meal in a pinch. Don't want the whole thing? Rewrap it, and save it for a week. Or two. Or...yeah, I've eaten open ones pretty far down the road--with no problem. I'm obviously a major booster, and I put Pemmi Bars in the elite class of brilliantly effective, bombproof products including bow saws and the Concept 2 rowing machine. So do yourself a big favor. Try a bar.

Go Raw 100% Organic, Chocolate Granola Cereal,. 16-Ounce Bags (Pack of 2)

I have been raw for over 3 months now and I am always looking for creative ways to satisfy my crunchy sweet tooth. Go Raw Chocolate Granola really fulfills my need for chocolate and crunchy cravings! All the ingredients are organic and the seeds/nuts are sprouted to help maintain essential enzymes. Is it really crunchy? Yes. To hard to chew, No. (Well not for me. I always let me granola soak in my nut milk for a few minutes anyways. I found the agave/chocolate ratio was just right as this granola is not to sweet or chocolaty, it is just about right.

I usually have two ounces at a serving which gives me eight servings for the entire bag which comes to about $1.25 per serving for the two-package 16 oz bag combo. For raw food, that is really a decent price. And I love the fact I get free shipping with Amazon Prime.

The fact that it is Gluten free is awesome as I am always trying to avoid gluten.

I have tried the Apple Cinnamon Go Raw Granola and really prefer the Chocolate flavor.

Happy Raw Eating!

I love this product and have been using it regularly for 2 years. Originally, I bought it when I was trying to eat mostly raw food and wanted to make some blender drinks to take with me to work. While I have moved away from the mostly raw food diet, I still use this product several times a week. I put it in a Blendtec blender with chocolate flavored coconut milk or chocolate flavored whole grain rice milk and in 20 seconds I have a very healthy and great tasting breakfast drink that I consume on my way to work. I cannot comment on how it tastes when consumed in other manners, however, I think it tastes great when mixed in a blender with a healthy chocolate flavored milk. I really like the fact I can get this from Amazon on their autoship program as it saved me 30% 40% off the local health food store price and it gets delivered to my door every month.

Wild Cloudberry Preserves (14.1 ounce)

I would not have even known about such a thing were I not watching a PBS program about Sweden and its native recipes. Great with crepes, they taste like a cross between an orange and raspberries. I highly recommend giving them a try.

Cloudberries, of course they would taste wonderful. This is a remarkable preserve from Sweden. Cloudberries, where have you been my whole life?

On the PBS television show New Scandinavian Cooking, a beautiful cake called for the addition of a small amount of this lovely preserve on top. A search turned up this fantastic preserve from Sweden.

Hafi of Sweden has done a remarkable job creating a jam that is just the right amount of sweet and maintains some whole Cloudberry shape. Cloudberries are difficult to describe, they have the texture of strawberries, the color of peaches, and have the flavor more like gooseberry slightly tart, slightly earthy.

Although this is an expensive preserve, it is worth every penny for the little bites of heaven on toast.

Great Grains Crunchy Pecan, 16-Ounce

This particular cereal is a favorite, but I also like all the, various, LIFE CEREAL variations.

If you were to visit me at my German farm, and I was out of home-made Cinammon Rice

Pudding, I would get out some 3.8% fat Milk and pour it all over some of THIS stuff...

mmmmm good!

I have tasted cereals --all-over-the-world --but, it just does NOT get a-n-y better than

GREAT GRAINS CRUNCHY PECANS or LIFE CEREAL with FRESH strawberries... or maybe blueberries...

mmmmmmmmm!

Nay-sayers will say "It's CHEAPER at SAM'S or WAL*WART!"

I remind folks that AMAZON SERVES FOLKS world-wide... there IS NO WAL*WARM down the road from

my place!

There is...

Nature's Path Organic Heritage Flakes Cereal, 32-Ounce Bags (Pack of 6)

If you're looking at this bulk item, chances are you already know you like the cereal, so I'll skip trying to explain what it tastes like, and tell you about what you'll get and how you'll get it.

The package you get is a pretty big Amazon box with another cardboard box inside it--that inner box is manufacturer packaging/shipping material which holds the 6 bags of cereal. You can open that box as normal by cutting the packing tape, or the box has perforations so grocery stores (the obvious intended recipients) can rip off the side & top of the box, making what the box calls a "presentation display", I guess because the bags, lacking their own boxes, might not stand on end by themselves. So you get the package Nature's Path sends to grocery & health food stores, and I guess that's the way Amazon does it with most of their grocery stuff.

This was my first Amazon grocery order. The flakes didn't seem to be damaged from their trip. The flakes on this product are pretty hard and small anyway, which I'm sure helps. Looking at the six bags of cereal (I cut the packing tape instead of doing the "display" rip-out), you kind of wonder to yourself and say, "That doesn't look like x amount of dollars worth of cereal". But cereal boxes are packaged so inefficiently, that part of it is an optical illusion. I was able to fill up my refillable cereal container and still have maybe 1/4 of the bag left. One of these bags (32oz) is a little more than two of the "box" versions (13oz).

I'll probably close and maybe even re-tape the box while I deplete my mass quantities to keep any curious pests out.

While I did get this econo-bag version over the smaller 6-boxes version in order to save money, buying online in itself was not in order to save money. As two reviewers so far have noted, Whole Foods (when they have them) will sell these bags individually or in bulk for a little less. However, that's probably the only reasonably-priced thing in the whole building, as one of my friends calls the place "Whole Paycheck", and which is why I don't shop there anymore (that... and also because I moved to a state where they don't have them!).

So getting to a store which actually stocks this cereal is difficult to me. Amazon's free shipping mitigates the price to where it's at least a fair price: close or even with whatever else your best deal would be, especially if you factor in gasoline to make a special trip. You might end up saving money, but for me it's a time and fuel saver, without paying more. Yes, I had to purchase a lot, but it WILL get eaten, even if it takes me a looong time. The upside is that I'm not gonna run out anytime soon! I haven't had this cereal for a year, since I moved! I really missed it!

Further product info: it took me awhile to figure out the difference between Nature's Path "Heritage" and "8 Grain" cereals. They look and taste similar, and have very similar ingredients. The biggest difference (in my book) is the use of Kamut for Heritage. Kamut is essentially a "proprietary" grain, supposedly an extinct form of durum wheat obtained from ancient tombs in Egypt. This is disputed by some, who believe it's a "landrance", or regional variation, kind of like how a border collie is still a collie, not a whole new breed. Regardless, the importance to many consumers is the lack of genetic modification. But Kamut planting is strictly licensed, and it's only allowed to be grown organically, so there are extra costs and controls involved--in other words, it's more expensive, or at least more involved, for cereal makers to make stuff using Kamut than just buying wheat off the open market. Interestingly, Nature's Path charges exactly the same amount for both cereals. So, all other things being equal, I choose "Heritage" over "8 Grain" because of the Kamut. Further comparison: 8 Grain has rice and corn, which I consider to be almost fillers, especially rice. Heritage has neither, but has Spelt AND Quinoa, both very nice grains in my view. 8 Grains is heavier on oats.

AMAZON DOESN'T LIST MILLET IN THE INGREDIENTS, but it is in there (a good thing) (it is listed in 8 Grain). Millet is an underrated grain, too often associated only with cheap birdseed. 8 Grain also has Buckwheat; Heritage doesn't. Because of the near-equal tradeoffs, I used to buy both 8 Grain and Heritage locally, and mix them together. Bulk-buying on Amazon precludes this at the moment. Either way, you can't lose. I see Amazon sells a puffed Millet cereal; it's cheap and I might 'spike' my mix with that. I also hear Amaranth will pop like popcorn; I don't know if that would work for cereal, too.

Heritage/8 Grain are not as sweet as traditional cereals, and it takes about 2 seconds to get used to that, and after that i find myself wishing it were even less sweet (cane juice is the second ingredient in Heritage, but the fourth ingredient in 8 Grain).

This product has the benefits of organic whole grains and environmentally responsible packaging, but it's also my favorite cereal flavorful and super crunchy even if left in milk for a while.

Buy Nature's Path Organic Heritage Flakes Cereal, 32-Ounce Bags (Pack of 6) Now

This cereal meets three major criteria:

1. It is low in sugar no longer a kid and hate cereal that is too sweet.

2. Stays crunchy the best flaked cereal I have found for staying crunchy in milk, maybe because the flakes seem a little heartier/thicker than standard flakes.

3. Taste last but not least, too many of the healthier flakes taste like cardboard, but this cereal is so good I can eat it right out of the bag like a snack.

This cereal is one item in my ultimate breakfast cereal mix. The other ingredients are Kashi's 7 Whole Grain Puffs, dried cranberries, pecans, and flax seed. With Heritage & Kashi combined you get all the following grains in one breakfast:

1. Spelt

2. Quinoa

3. Kamut

4. Millet

5. Buckwheat

6. Triticale

7. Rye

8. Red Winter Wheat

9. Barley

10. Oats

11. Brown Rice

12. Sesame Seeds

Then I add the following to the bowl:

13. Flax Seeds about a tablespoon

14. Pecans about 2 tablespoons

15. Dried Cranberries about 2 tablespoons

Want Nature's Path Organic Heritage Flakes Cereal, 32-Ounce Bags (Pack of 6) Discount?

We love heritage flakes, not too sweet and not too bland and oatey. The texture is great too, not rough and thin like some raisin brans. It holds up well if you let them soak in the milk because you have to chase down a child. They are the perfect source for whole grains.

We love buying them from Amazon too because we save so much. We live in Chicago. The only place you can find them is at Whole Foods, already a huge markup. Add to that Chicago city taxes and you end up paying 1/3 more. Plus WF sometimes doesn't even have them or has them only in the smaller size. Amazon doesn't run out. Its subscription program automatically sends us the bulk size every few months. Great deal! Great program!

Coombs Family Farms 100% Pure Organic Maple Syrup Grade B, 32-Ounce Jug

There are generally 3 grades of maple syrup. Grade A is the first run Mild in taste, sweet and with fewer minerals than the other grades. It is more expensive and less desirable (health and taste wise). Grade B is the second run with more minerals plus more maple taste. Grade C is the third run with even more minerals and an even stronger taste of maple and it's slightly less pleasant for most people.

Maple syrup has a large variety of minerals and vitamins and Grade B Organic is my favorite, considering it's stronger flavor and higher nutrition content. Of course, Organic is the only way to eat food now, but that's another story.

Coombs Family Farm provides a very satisfactory grade B organic Maple Syrup! I've used a lot!

Having grown up in sugar maple country and bought syrup from the farmers in unmarked gallon cans ('store syrup' never entered our house), I have plenty of experience with maple syrup. [Tip: maple trees and maple syrup are 'organic' by definition. Farmers who tap trees add nothing. Don't pay more for 'organic'.] At our house we 'sugared off' every Winter. For those who know what I'm talking about, read on. For those who don't have any idea, you may be happy with this product.

The Good: This syrup is priced right (purchased at $17.31). It is a good buy and you should not be shy at purchasing. It's really about a 3 star minus or 2.5 stars.

The Not So Good: Grade B syrup is normally 'mapley' with caramel notes. This syrup LACKS the strong maple flavors that make it suitable for cooking or a good match for those who like strong flavors, but it does NOT have the complexity or finesse of a Grade A Amber. In short it is rather bland and pedestrian for maple syrup. What we don't know is whether the trees tapped for this label vary from year to year but this batch is uninteresting. I bought it as an alternative to Whole Foods label (about $20) but quite frankly the Whole Foods Grade A Amber has a stronger maple flavor with more complexity and the Whole Foods Grade B is significantly stronger in flavor. I would rate the Whole Foods Grade A Amber as a 4 star minus, and the Grade B as 4-5 stars.

My husband and I have been enjoying Trader Joe's Grade B Maple Syrup for years, and the Coombs Family Farms Grade B is equally good and darker, with perhaps an even deeper, richer flavor! Anyone who appreciates a true maple flavor will love this syrup.

Want Coombs Family Farms 100% Pure Organic Maple Syrup Grade B, 32-Ounce Jug Discount?

There's maple syrup and there's maple syrup. My wife and I are from the East Coast (she from Vermont) and we've tried maple syrup from other regions and those just don't measure up to a Vermont syrup. Although this product does say some of the raw materials come from Canada, this is an excellent example of a Vermont Maple Syrup. As a "Grade B" product, it has the rich, deep-bodied flavor and color one would expect, but this one makes pancakes and waffles a different experience entirely. I would recommend the Coombs product highly to anyone who's looking for a top quality maple syrup.

Have a delicious day! Wish I wrote that but it's off the box.So is this "We make glutenfree delicious..it's what we do" and boy did Glutenfreeda do it again.I've been hooked on Glutenfreeda products since they introduced their frozen cookies years ago. I was delighted to see them come out with instant oatmeal and I wasn't disappointed.I was doubly delighted to see the oatmeal offered on Amazon.com. Win,win! When you read the ingredient list you will see whyOff the Maple Raisin with Flax box :certified gluten free oats, raisins, organic maple sugar,brown sugar , flax meal and salt.That's it and yes you read the ingredient list correctly.Real ingredients for my real family.I was very happy to see a very low sodium content and the addition of flax.

And for my Celiac college student this product has made his life so much easier.He can have a healthy breakfast in his dorm room or at the food court with no worry of cross-contamination.Like me he always has a packet in his backpack for snacks or a quick lunch.

Thank you Glutenfreeda!

I love this oatmeal. If I wasn't GF, I would still get it! I wanted a way to have oatmeal for breakfast on those mornings where I had to get kids off to school early and I did not have time to make myself an omelette. I add a bit of butter and a bit more brown sugar and it tastes so delicious!
