ok How about the brutal truth...are they dyed, are they really organic, and are they dirty, as one or more reviewers have complained?

Geez, I don't run a lab I've just been buying Goji berries online for many years and these are some of the best. I hope there no dye, dirt or chemicals. If there is I can't tell. I do know that in the whole sale market the grade of Goji berries is bases on the size of the berries. The larger the berries the higher the cost/grade. With the exception of buying bulk wholesale from Cheezheng in Tibet these are the best I've had. It's only my opinion.

Well to be fair, they have the usda organic seal of approval which I thought was supposed to be a pain to do, but I couldn't guarantee they are for sure organic. I've bought a couple of bags now from them, they taste good, but have only once mixed them w cereal etc n had any grit or anything to them. Don't know if any red dye has been added, sorry not much help. Those are excellend questions though. ..did healthworks have a response about it? Im curious about the red coloring now though

Well they are certified and the integrity of the company and the length of time they have been doing this is real. I met the owner at a Raw food event and he is hard core, only the best products .. always. He cured himself of some serious health issues with organic and raw food healthy lifestyle and really does walk the walk. If it is not organic and the real deal he will not deal with it. period. NO way these are dyed and must be organic. The reviewers that complain are the competition that are scandalous business people stealing customers by spreading false rumors. It is common on amazon.

I wondered about if it was dyed since when I washed it in still water, the water changed its' color. I am wondering if I should throw it away.

Goji berries are naturally this color. Yes, they will change the color of the soaking water, if soaked. But so do nuts, dates, and raisins. Doesn't mean they have dye in them. I'm pretty sure with most dried fruits, the brightness of color is an indicator of freshness. And if you don't know what you're getting and have never had them before, they can be a little off putting at first. These aren't like blueberries or something where everyone knows what they are. The first time I ever tried one, I thought "man..this is weird" but after a few, I really like them. They have a more earthy flavor to them than some other berries.

It's been a long time since I ordered them. If they say organic that usually means they are.

I have the chocolate coconut ones. Does not say raw. Says organic cocoa processed with alkali

Sounds like they are bad to me. You should contact the seller and/or amazon and let them know so that you can get your money back. None of the ones that I received were bitter. I tried to sprout one also, and it did not sprout. That leads me to believe that these are not truly raw. They were delicious though...

The short answer is no. I have had no problem with them except they are not soft but I have noticed they are getting better with each wash. Having so much cotton in them (820 grams) I expect them to last a long time and to get progressively better with age, and yes I will buy them again as I am impressed by them.

It's wrong. They are not organic. Even the Bob's Red Mill website doesn't show any organic potato flakes on their site. Since they make numerous organic products, I'm sure it would say it on the pkg. I wish they were. We eat almost all organic foods. These are a spurge for us. Basically like our take-out night since we don't eat any of that stuff (we're gluten, dairy and chemical preservative free). They are easy and tasty. I add s&p; and avocado oil and a but of garlic powder and they're great!

The description states there are no chemicals ever used. I did not find the words organic. I can tell you though that the fiber is left natural, no dye, no bleach. We have very sensitive skin and use these and no added softeners. No reactions from any of us with these. No smells straight from the box.

I believe they are organic: very fresh appearance with pleasant natural smell, much better than another brand I bought before!

There is nothing on the packaging to indicate if organic or not. I suggest you go to there website, you might find the answer there. It's a very informative site

There is a greenish tint. They certainly aren;'t white/cream. They look good to me, but to be honest, I don't know how authentic they are color-wise. In my judgement, they are greenish

Yes. They are 100% cotton. They are unbleached, so they're kind of a very light khaki color. They are natural and organic 9 in appearance and feel.

I have only bought the beige ones, not the green ones, but I'm considering trying the green. I notice that the beige, in addition to being a few dollars more, are called Stay Dry "Ultra," while these green ones are just Stay Dry. Apparently we are paying a few extra dollars for this "ultra" dryness. :-) Also--it's hard to believe product photos completely, but the beige "Ultras" appear to have a kind of quilted appearance on the white cotton fluff side, which may be what makes them so "Ultra." If I decide to try the green I'll report back.

I was concerned at first too. But they were labeled USDA certified organic. I found the chestnuts to be consistent. Fully cooked. Stored well in fridge.

Hi! Unfortunately these aren't organic cotton. Probably why they give you so many at the low price. Still good though but if you want organic it won't hurt to pay a little more even if you don't get many.

I guess I assumed that there are standards for organic products that they would adhere to. I did not investigate, but hope that the dyes etc are non toxic.

I think if a company says they are 100% organic pillows and they lie, they are breaking a law. I don't know if they are GMO. I love the pillows and I covered them with an allergy 100% organic cotton cover, and a 100% organic cotton pillow case.If you BUY one and bring it for testing, please let me know if they were lying about organics.
