When you say "American Cotton," you are being too general. There is one type of American cotton--Pima-- that compares favorably with Turkish cotton. Both have long, absorbent fibers that are necessary for a quality towel. According to "Google," only about 3% of the cotton in the US is truly "Pima" cotton. Most of the cotton grown in the United States is a lower grade cotton. I'm not an expert, but Turkish cotton and Pima cotton compare very well. Just remember, not all towels that claim to be "Pima" are from American Cotton, and very few American cotton towels are 100% Pima. When you say "American Cotton," you are being too general.

The difference between the Haribo Gold-bears made in Germany and Turkey lies in color, texture, and flavor. The ones made in Turkey have a lot of artificial color in them which is not allowed in Germany. You can see it at the bright color of the green gummi bears (and, of course in the ingredients list.) These bears sold here are not original German Gummi bears (Gold bears/Goldbären) which taste absolutely great! Unfortunately they are not available.

I'm not sure how they are different but I love mine. I had a yellow one and it died in a little over a year. I bought because it was made in USA AND it was so convenient.Decided to try again and got this model and use it all the time. NO more burned up ironing board covers! YEA!

It says on the container made in the USA but does not state the origin of the turmeric. I will do some research and if I find out I will let you know.

I am not sure what "turkish" style coffee is but I just set my mill on the finest grind and it is finer than pre ground black pepper by twice.

Pure cotton bedlinen produced from Egyptian cotton have long been associated with wonderful quality and superior handle and drape. Egyptian Cotton's winning characteristics are due to it's extra long staple. Quite simply, the long fibres make it possible to produce finer, yet stronger yarn which can be woven into any number of thread counts, and which can be finished with a super crisp or silky satin feel to the bedlinen

Yes, the tissues are most certainly made in the US, from both US and imported cotton!

Their website says they are manufactured in Turkey, India and Los Angeles. If you go to their website, www.organictextiles.com, and click on "about" there is more information. I've had my comforter for two years and I love it. It's very well made, keeps its shape and is very warm. I haven't washed it, but I have a quilt over it to protect it from dust and body oils. I switched over from down which I loved, but I find my body temperature remains more steady, and I sleep more soundly, with less respiratory trouble. I think you will be very happy if you get it, especially if you have allergies.

On the website they are listed as from California and Turkey (though the Turkish pistachios are labeled). These are raw and are not salted.

The tag says "Made in Turkey." So I would glean from that the fabric is made in Turkey also. Hope this helps. Lynn

It tastes definitely different than the under 1 lb bag. I was surprised to learn that it was made in Turkey. All the bears taste the same whereas Germany bears have distinct flavors.

Hi there, we sell this product as TurkishLux and we are selling a 100% cotton product. We believe the listing to have a typo, likely due to copy/paste error by the creator. You will see the 100% cotton information on the towel itself as well.

It refers to how the towels are made. The cotton yarn is either carded or combed. I'm not sure if Amazon allows for offsite linking so I'm going to quote from another website. It is just a basic summary so if you would like more detail just search " combed vs carded cotton". "When cotton or another fabric is "combed," the shortest, additional fibers of a batch are removed. The result produces high-quality, extra soft yarns with excellent strength and softness. Combed cotton uses finer fiber than carded yarns and is more regular and expensive than carded yarn"

the Turkish variety does have a strong taste. Some people take a spoon of honey to kill the taste. The Indian variety is very mild. Vendors switch between the 2 depending on what is currently available. Egyptian is supposed to be even milder. The strength of the active ingredient, Thymoquinone or TQ apparently is tied to the taste. The stronger the taste the higher the level of TQ.
