How do these compare in taste/texture to store brands like dixie lilly or house autry?

Toothier than store brands. I have to cook longer, and with a bit more fluids. But I purchased these for their high fiber content so it works well for me. Just as tasty :) and more fiber! Hope this helps.

Julia's Pantry grits are whole grain and store brands are de=germinated. Even the organic grits sold by WholeFoods are de-germinated. The grits are steel cut courser grain than Dixie Lilly or House Autry. We steel cut to preserve the quality of the whole grain which in fact also provides more fiber. If you want a less gritty grit you should purchase any of these less course quality grits.

I'm in the same boat as we go through Fage so quickly and I'd love to find a way to make it. Fage has an extra think texture, unlike a lot of the other yougarts and is very high in protein. The price, however, is tough on my grocery budget. I hope someone can help!

Both have good flavor. I just think the flavor of Gravy Master is better. I've given up on the small bottles and have started buying the 28 oz size. I bought both Kitchen Bouquet and Gravy Master and give the KB to my sister. I always used GM in my early married years and I still like it best.

Since I've only bought the darkest roasts, I can't give a taste comparison. However, according to the 8 O'Clock website, if there is a difference, it appears to be one of minor difference or "name only." There may be some who have very refined pallets and can taste very minor nuances, but I'm not one of them.

My last 2 orders tasted terrible, too. That's 960 bags of bad tea. I abandoned the brand after 20 years and switched to Yorkshire Gold. The stuff PG Tips is currently selling inside the US is not the same as the UK blend, and it tastes about as bad as any US grocery store brand.

Yes. The shelf life isn't that bad, as Janet has said. Just try and be dedicated to them before you get a lot of them, even if you do not like the taste.

The taste is pretty much the same. What's different is the texture. Reeds are hard more taffy like where Gin Gins are like gummys soft gum drop like

They aren't bad at all. I haven't tried honeyrose so I can't compare the two but these have a really good smell and an okay flavor.

Since they're primarily sugar, they should be, but I never could get an answer from them about whether they used corn starch or something else to prevent them sticking so I went back to buying Bassett's. Do not buy from TopStore though, I had a horrible experience with them.

Hi Alyssa, this is honestly a tough question. There's not much you can really compare these to; they're very unique. The best description I can give is that the filling is like a gelatin (sort of like Jello, but thicker). They will be a bit softer if you leave them at room temperature and a bit firmer if you refrigerate them (my wife and I preferred to eat them cold). It's not like biting into a custard or jelly donut where the filling pours out, it's nicely contained in the rice cake. The flavor is really good, so don't let my description scare you off. I hope this helps! Hi Alyssa, this is honestly a tough question. There's not much you can really compare these to; they're very unique.

They sweet enough for my taste , but not super (over) sweet. I am comparing to the "Mariani" dates from my local store. I order them few times and I like them more then from store.

I have had Skinny Girl, but not La Croix. How do they taste? These are pretty good, especially the Black Raspberry.

I've not bought this brand but my research showed: never freeze beans; keep cool are dark and as airtight as you can and - this is a wonderful plus - they 'age' and they do it well. I've had bourbon beans triple bagged in a plastic container for over four years [I got around 50 or so at one time] and they smell better than they ever did. Just my experience. BTW I found bourbon far superior to Tahitian, but this just might be my taste.

Yes, I think it is. I compared it to three other brands I had on hand, and it looked to be smaller grain and felt finer when rubbed between my fingers. Honeyville is very good, but Wellbee is the best in my opinion.

In any Wal-Mart store, great value brand. Much cheaper than the original ones and I have been using them for about 4 years.

The source part of your question has been answered already. As for taste, I have only had these several months so I can only answer how they taste when relatively fresh. I sampled one after it had been in my truck for several weeks (temps 50-90 degrees) and it was no different than most bottled water. You may want to search through all of the feedback comments to see if anyone has done a long-term taste test. Bottom line is, in an emergency, as long as it is palatable it will do the job. It doesn't have to taste like Perrier.

Locknlock are the very best. In my 70s, and if it's out there I have had it, but these are the best. Crackers, potatoes chips stay fresh longer.
