What does "GRADE: A-1" actually mean? I'd appreciate a technical and specific answer, please! :-)

As others have said, this is likely a question better asked of the Food-to-Live company rather than the consumer community. However, the food grading scale is standardized (for USA) by the USDA. As to the specifics of "Grade A-1" for poppy seeds, you can find all the answers you need in the USDA food grading handbooks (found on the USDA website).For me, If the USDA says its A (As good as it gets) and the seller has a spotless record of selling gently handled and unwashed/treated seeds, that's enough for me. Hope that helps and best of luck in your search for the right seeds. :) As others have said, this is likely a question better asked of the Food-to-Live company rather than the consumer community.

I found quite a lot of information about grading of poppy seeds on Google and contacting the seller " Food-To-live " would both probably be better choices than asking me. that since I couldn't actually speak for Food-To-Live, the poppy seed industry and don't grade poppy seeds commercially. for my own purposes , I would expect that grade " A " would mean first quality recently harvested fresh seeds , well sifted of debris , unwashed or very lightly washed , rich oily coating , large black round or oval shape, crunchy texture and that desirable rich natural poppy seed taste and smell. so far all the seeds I have bought from several companies on Amazon have met my standards as mentioned, Food-For-Life seeds probably being the best, most recent , I have bought on Amazon. thanks for asking for my opinion.

There are two types of poppy seeds on the market, A1 and A2. The grade A1 represents fancy or premium poppy seeds while the grade A2 represents regular seeds. A1 seeds purity > 99.95% while A2 purity > 99.8%.

WARNING these are not Papaver Somniferum seeds but in fact are Papaver Rhoeas seeds. Seller has refused to acknowledge my e-mails.

I put something on the digital scale and it didn't show anything so i'm assuming it was under 1 lb. It wouldn't even register and I had to ship an item so I was assuming it was under a pound. I paid for the postage at 1 lb and 10 ounces. If it is returned i'm going to be in trouble. Can you tell me what 0.2 lb resolution means?

Not sure I can post a URL but here is info about the new Grading standards. grade B is the syrup pulled later in the season, has more minerals and is more intense. I personally like it better than grade A. http://www.maplesource.com/markets/industrial-market/maple-syrup/maple-syrup-grades-infographic.php#sthash.mj5y2YfF.dpbs

grade A they are deceiving everyone I checked on the amazon site and grade A is less expensive . So you pay the price of B and they send you A

All those codes indicate is the number of readings that are stored in the system, and the "A" stands for the average of all those readings. So, "A11" means that the average of the 11 readings stored in memory is what is being displayed. Hope that made sense!

It is between a 1 and a 2. I have not used it in a quiet classroom environment so there has been other noise going on around it. Hope this helps

Not sure of grade ss but I give it A+. It looks great and is sturdy enough to hold without bowing or bending.

Hi Mark, Google says: "Grade B is produced later in the season and has a darker, grittier color, thicker viscosity, more robust maple flavor and more minerals. Grade B has a heavy maple flavor that lingers on your taste buds." Since the grading has nothing to do with quality I always prefer B because it is more maple-y and has more nutrients.

The difference is grade "A" is the 1st flow of the season, good but doesn't have the accents and rich flavors that the 2nd flow produces and are distinct from one stand of trees to another......the best.

They give some "free" grade b when they ship the grade A. The grade A are bigger, more supple, more fragrant and obviously way better.

I would think that +/- 7% is probably within the tolerance of the various components and you're running right at that limit. Yes, I think you should probably order up.

The cable is grade A. I haven't had any issues, whatsoever. Absolutely fantastic item at a great price.

From other research, the number after the - (dash) is a manufacturers revision number. Perhaps a slight redesign, or a new batch of manufacturing. The source I found indicated that a -2 was a replacement for a -1.

Yes it is. Grade 1 is bump proof. Everything below is not. Btw, I'm about to test mine in the next hour or two in cold temps. It's -14 here today.

Elizabeth, I "think" I got a class 10. It has been awhile. But which ever one I purchased, It works great. I hope you enjoy this unit. Have a great day.
