This may sound funny but I have no idea what this tastes like....is it anything like Thai food? Thanks!

Not in my opinion. I haven't had a Thai dish that is similar. This is a very good product. If you haven't tried Indian food it would be difficult to describe due to the difference in spices that are used in the Indian culture. It is spicy and very in flavor. It turns ordinary chicken into something awesome. You can use about a third less butter when cooking it and still get the intended flavor. For a true Indian meal pick up some naan bread at a localist or or Trader Joe's and enjoy the experience!

Most Tai Food is cocunut based and this is not. It has a creamier buttery (hence the name) taste and is rich without being overly spicy. There are some similarities though.

It is not an Asian flavor. It's a mild tomato curry base and on the spicy side. It is not over powering but does have great flavor. It's my favorite of Indian food. I put a splash of half and half at the end to cut down the heat a bit. Some grocery stores sell it, so you may want to look for it there just to try before you buy a big pack.

I don't think so, I've had both and its not similar. This is a creamy tomato based sauce that has curry for spice, it is wonderfully spicy, just right, not too much. Gives you the tongue tingles, but we have really grown to love it. We moved from a very large urban city to a very small rural area and miss our tastes from other cultures. This is now a staple in our home, and both my children cook it in their homes as well.

mine is not yellow...are you sure you ordered the white oil and not the one that comes with yellow/orange color/butter flavored?I have ordered two of the white oil and both are pure white, actually clear when melted...great stuff...it does not taste or smell like coconut like you think it would...it is not the same smelling stuff that you get for sun tanning! I use this for everything: cooking, skin, in my pets food...you can pay a lot more for small containers called organic or 100% pure but this is the same and a great quality and you can not beat the price...definitely NOT CRAP as someone stated. mine is not yellow...are you sure you ordered the white oil and not the one that comes with yellow/orange color/butter flavored?I have ordered two of the white oil and both are pure white, actually clear when melted...great stuff...it does not taste or smell like coconut like you think it would...it is not the same smelling stuff that you get for sun tanning!

Absolutely it is cinnamon - but a special type - like Thai basil is a specific type of basil...and it really really does have wonderful properties unique to Saigon cinnamon. This price is a steal! Once you try you won't ever go back to 'regular' cinnamon!!

I didn't notice that on mine. It sounds weird but you might try licking it and seeing if it tastes like anything. For better or worse your food will end up tasting like anything you cook it in. If it tastes like nothing you are fine.

Sorry you have had bad luck with the noodle-if you cook it for three minutes, the slimy seems to go away, and I found that by using a lot as opposed to a little, it works better. I have practically converted from my old pasta life, although on occasion..... I just need the original. And really great sauce helps-dont think of it as a pasta noodle-a friend of mine made pad thai with is and it was incredible-you just need to find what items it works well with, and which you need to use the regular noodles with.

I love the ginger snap! It's definitely one of my favorites. I agree that the ginger, cinnamon and cloves give it a nice amount of spice. I have not yet tried the carrot cake.

I ordered it only once. I had nothing to compare with since I have never tasted it before. Mine is light powder also. about the color of WW flour. Mine taste like a glass of lemonade, tangy, but not like eating a lemon that would be very tart. I put 1/4 teasp in a smoothie. I had read that it is good for the heart.

No I did not find it tasted salty whatsoever. If you are using this as a meal replacement, you need a source of sodium as that is necessary for your body's chemistry. If you have unique health needs (like congestive heart failure) and need a low sodium product, this may not be for you.

Actually I understand it does not taste like spinach and is heat tolerant. Dr. Andrew Weil at http://www.drweil.com/ has made favorable comments about it as well as John at GrowingYourGreens.com. For more information on gardening see https://www.youtube.com/user/growingyourgreens

I haven't used it myself yet, but my husband used it for cooking chicken breasts for dinner tonight. He "cut" it with regular flour. He said it had a higher heat tolerance and didn't tend to burn like all plain flour might. I could not taste any coconut flavor at all. I am thinking this might be gluten free as well, but I am not an expert in GF standards. I really liked it, and so did my husband, who is the main cook/chef in the family.

Not really sure, but it is yummy. Tastes sweet without sugar because it is young coconut. If you are truly concerned about "NATURAL" as you say then go to the store and buy a young coconut and suck it straight out of there, then eat the meat with a spoon. Tastes the same to me!!

I can't nail down the flavor...its more like a nutty taste but not strong like peanut butter. Its mild and taste good. Sorry I couldn't give you something concrete .

No it doesn't taste fishy. It is kelp and other sea vegetables. It is quite salty so use sparingly.

I could taste the licorice root, just slightly. It is not a sweet drink at all. Rather, its very hearty. Hope that helps.

I don't notice any seafood flavor, so I asked my family, and they say it's either a dried oyster or clam taste. At one time, they used to put actual dried oyster in it to give it flavor. I don't think it's fishy at all.
