Just tasted my first batch of carrots. Only wish I could get a few more recipes with the original purchase.

Tasted great.  I accidentally ordered whole bean rather than ground but my blender made short work of the grinding.

Awesome! I've seen tutorials online for these and wanted to try them. Everyone was almost throwing up, but when I tried them they were delicious! Except the soy sauce and cola, but oh well. Thanks Japan!~

Just got it, opened a pack and drank it... tasted perfect. I mean in that it had no taste at all. Now I will be trying 1 per year and will update this review for any signs of taste issues or other deterioration.

Well, I just bought the first week of food to start this diet tomorrow. Plan on $150 for just the first week.  How fun to shop mainly veggies and meat, plus great seasonings. The book lost my interest during the scientific discussions, but the recipes were inspiring. Wish there were more "real people" stories.  I can't wait for the related cookbook to come out next fall. Good luck to me! and you, too.  You are worth another chance.

I bought these on a whim to see if they really were different colors. WOW! They even tasted like carrots! I didn't follow the instructions exactly and they were not spaced far enough apart...now I know for next year! I am definitely buying these again!

You guys rock.  Seems like I barely lifted my fingers off the keyboard after ordering that my Spiral Slicer arrived!  It's just what I expected. I'll enjoy making veggie noodles for years to come.

i tried the rice so far.. i was skeptical and took me a while to open one because of all the reviews of the fish smell.. and yes its true it does.. I quickly put in a collindar and strained it and rinsed and the smell was gone fairly quickly... i actually put it in my homemade turkey soup and it doesnt have any flavor.. and has a weird consistancy .. i have the noodles as well and was reading how to cook them.. once i  cook them i will come back and update the review...  I am on a low carb diet so  I really am trying to give this product a chance.. hopefully i can cook them better so i can enjoy them more lol

Product arrived wrapped in ice pack and sealed well, 4 days sooner than expected!  I was not aware that they would only last one week in the refrigerator, but you can freeze them up to one year so that works just as well. I froze them immediately as I knew I would be eating them sparingly, but to my surprise, I ate 2 the first day and soon realized I could over indulge very easily. For me it is the texture that I really like. They do taste good, but will say it is somewhat of an acquired taste.  I think it is because they are very low in sugar so you don't taste that sweetness that you get in most other bars. Actually since I am attempting to cut sugar, I am not unhappy with this aspect of them. The real test is when I went back to work, I had some Atkins bars in my drawer for snacking (which I have always liked very much). I ate about half of a very small bar and felt queasy in an instant. I could not eat the rest as it was way too sweet.  Having said that, I ordered the Choco Walnut, and they are full of nuts and chocolate pieces and very chewy which I LOVE. The bars are small, but frankly I have found that one is quite filling if you eat is slowly and don't devour the whole thing in one bite (like my husband! lol).  I know I will be ordering more very soon. I hope more flavors will be available, but nuts and chocolate are my favorite!  Thank you for a great bar that is GOOD for me.. oh and my husband if he gets to them before me! (lol)

Didn't get a lot of fruit first time around. Hope to have better luck next try. But the tomatoes are tasty and pretty pest resistance which is a big plus.

Just brewed my first cup. 3T, in a french press, one T honey and a touch of powdered ginger.... Fantastic.

Wow. Someone had raved to me about these noodles but I thought "They love all health food, I might not like them." Started a low carb lifestyle recently and cut out all carbs for the 1st few weeks....holy mackerel it's NOT EASY.  Really wanted to chow down on pasta, burgers, pretty much everything.
Brought these home today and was still skeptical. Guys, READ THE DIRECTIONS ON THE BACK---It clearly states that the smell will dissipate once you rinse the noodles under cold water. I added some stuff after heating them a bit, didn't dry them in a pan as directed...just used them like ramen noodles. Added spinach pesto, a hint of pink Himalayan Sea Salt and sliced ground turkey. YUM! That hit the spot and then some. Also, no bloating involved. Guilt free. Isn't that what we dream of? Im quite happy. Will buy again. Thanks for these. You helped my cravings. Try them out at least once.

As soon as I got these, I immediately opened a can and ate a few of the berries.....  what an absolute delight to the taste-buds!  Oddly, the smell was a little strange but, that's probably from the can.  I then opened a second can and dumped both cans into a 9" x 13" non-stick baking pan to make a boysenberry crisp!  I noticed that I would probably need a third can but, there was already too much juice in the pan so, I just drained the juice into a separate container.  I put a cup of sugar in a bowl and mixed it with 2 heaping teaspoons of corn-starch and poured that over the berries. Then, I added several drops of lemon juice to the mixture.  I then made the usual crumble or "crisp" part using 1 cup of salted butter, 1 cup of light brown sugar, 1 cup of quick-oats and 1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour and mixed it all up using a pastry blender.  I noticed these was still a bit too much juice in the pan so, I took some out.  *Next time, I'll probably only leave the juice from 1 can.*  I added the crumble on top of the berry mixture and spread it out evenly.  I baked it at 375 for 30 minutes.  The crumble did end up absorbing a lot of the juice but, over all, the crisp turned out fine. It tastes awesome and you can't even tell there's seeds in the boysenberries.  I wish they sold these berries here in Michigan.  I've tried growing them in the past but, it takes a lot of work.  You have to coil up the canes and cover them with burlap and straw to protect them from the harsh winters here.  So I will be sure to cherish each and every berry I got in this order!

Run, do not walk, to your computer and order this peeled black garlic.  It arrived yesterday and the fragrance alone had me salivating.  Here's how I used it in last night's dinner:  Cooked some frozen chopped spinach in the microwave;  cooked some fresh carrots from the garden in a few inches of water in the microwave; cooked some frozen organic mushrooms in the microwave.  After draining and discarding the water from each of those three veggies, I sauteed the cooked mushrooms in a few tablespoons of olive oil over a low flame in a non-stick pan for about ten minutes, then added the carrot chunks and sauteed for one more minute, and then added the spinach.  Sauteed the three of them together for another five minutes or so, then added a handful of these Culinary Elite Black Garlic Cloves for another two minutes.  I stirred the saute pan frequently throughout the whole time.  The dish was heavenly.  The black garlic cloves are soft and easy in the mouth, reminiscent of balsalmic aromatically, and added a subtle but distinct punch of flavor.  I'd never heard of black garlic and only bought it because a friend of mine recommended it as an immune system booster.  I do believe that plain ole white garlic is a genuine help to keeping healthy in general, and since some web postings suggest that the fermenting/aging process (used in turning white garlic to black) results in doubling the anti-oxidant properties of the garlic cloves I'm definitely going to eat some of these black garlic cloves EVERY DAY until the two tubs are completely consumed.  Going to spread them on toast with some sliced fresh-from-my-garden tomatoes for a midafternoon snack later today.
