Green Giant Little Green Sprout's Organic Riced Veggies Cauliflower Medley

Little Green Sprout's Organic Riced Veggies Cauliflower Medley by Green Giant tastes about as you would expect them to be. It looks like rice, feels nothing like rice in the mouth, and tastes bland. 

I did like the meatloaf I made with the second pack so my recommendation is to add these into other food that will flavor and texture them. 

I mean, these mix into food well but do very poorly as rice.
 

Nancy's Organic Plain Whole Milk Yogurt

Nancy's Organic Plain Whole Milk Yogurt is yogurt. I mean, it has the quality of being plain yogurt. I guess I’d call it good, but as yogurt goes it is what one would expect.

I don’t think I need much out of yogurt other than it just being something to, but my fruit in but this is great for that.

 

Field Day Organic Golden Round Crackers

Field Day Organic Golden Round Crackers are hippy Ritz. Ritz are known to be the buttery version of crackers to be used at fancy gatherings. These are about as good as Ritz. They are a little less flavorful, but that lets you taste the thing you put on them.

These work well for what they are. I wouldn't eat them on their own but they were fine. 
 

Wholesome Pantry Organic Concord Grape Fruit Spread

 Wholesome Pantry Organic Concord Grape Fruit Spread doesn't have the best presentation. The duller color that you get here is of greater authenticity than the purple you would get from a less organic spread. 

This is a lot more like home made only a home made spread would often be more lumpy. All said, this is a solid product. I'm not the biggest fan of fruit spread because I almost never eat toast now days. 

Still, I saw this, it looked good, it is good.

Vive Organic Sparkling Immunity Blackberry Elderberry Drink

 A crazy man handed me a few cans of this Vive Organic Sparkling Immunity Blackberry Elderberry Drink. It is indeed very berry in flavor. It's berry-ness reminds me of red wine or at least grape juice.

This will never be as good as a soda to me, not a normal soda anyway, but it may help with a hangover more. The fellow who gave them to me knows hangovers well but I think he found this stuff rather than paid for it. 

Well, I drank it and I'm not dead. Buy yours from the store and don't risk death. 

Miyoko's Creamery Vegan Butter with Hint of Sea Salt

 Miyoko's Creamery Organic European Style Vegan Butter Hint of Sea Salt has a name that makes me want to kick someone in their vegan balls. As butter goes it's not bad. I mean, it's very butter like which is good for vegan butter. Why it need so long a name I really don't know, but I guess the longer the name the more you know about the product. 

Just reading this name makes me feel like I had a lecture about how meat is murder. 

If you want vegan butter than this is not bad at all. I don't know if I want vegan butter, but I would hardly know this is not the real thing.

Zoe's Meats Organic Apple & Cheddar Chicken Sausage

 Zoe's Meats Organic Apple & Cheddar Chicken Sausage is a fully cooked sausage that has reasonable stability in your refrigerator. It being chicken sausage it does not have the texture of normal sausage and has a very different mouth feel. 

I could not detect the flavor of cheddar but there was some apple to this even as it wasn't much. Overall the flavor wasn't very strong.

Where this sausage does stand out is that it is on the wet side and will leave drippings in your pan. This is great if you want to grill some vegetables in them. If you wanted to stretch this sausage for a family you could cut it up, fry it, and add vegetables which would take on it's flavor. 

This is a worthwhile product for those of you trying to eat better. Me, I'm still a fat pig.

Seapoint Farms Organic Edamame Spaghetti

When you look at the box of this Seapoint Farms Organic Edamame Spaghetti you get the impression it will taste like spaghetti. That’s a big point for these odd pastas is that if they don’t taste as good as the real thing what’s the point?

Edamame Spaghetti tastes and feels very different from normal spaghetti and must be cooked in a different way. You drop it in hot water then turn the heat off to make this stuff, which is good because it is less fuel, but the result is not at all like spaghetti.

I ended up recooking most of this stuff by dumping it in a frying pan with other things. Mostly I used some frozen beef bowl like things which had all the flavor I needed to cover up the taste of this spaghetti like stuff.

Your enjoyment of this product will depend on how well you like what you put on it, but I would not recommend traditional red Italian sauces. I think it lends itself better to Asian inspired cuisine. It should be fine with a healthy dose of pesto, I think, but mostly it’s oyster sauce for this stuff.

Westbrae Natural Organic Salad Beans

 If you're like me than you're asking yourself how you can eat better in the new year. Westbrae Natural Organic Salad Beans sound like a great option for that. Half a can for one salad. You would need to open three cans to get the same beans in one salad otherwise. 

Truth be told, these are good for you and their only failing is that the beans all get stained by the red pigment of the red beans making this something you only put on your salad if you're eating alone. I would never serve these to a date because they just don't look good. 

If you are only eating one or two salads in a three day period than these are the beans for you. If you are looking for a major bean intake than do what I do and buy all the beans in different cans and put them together in a mason jar and cover them in water.  

If can do that with these beans as well to extend their shelf life in your refrigerator, but that just wont look as good in your salad.  

Good & Gather Organic Elbow & Cheddar Macaroni Cheese

 Good & Gather Organic Elbow & Cheddar Macaroni Cheese basically tastes like Mac and Cheese. Shocking I know, but I'm thinking it's about the organic for most people. 

If you are an organic eater this will do the job like most products of it's nature. I'm not sure what organic even really means for this kind of thing but this is just as good as any mac and cheese I've had.

Late July Snacks Organic Chia & Quinoa Crackers

 Late July Snacks is one of those hipster food companies that makes things like Organic Chia & Quinoa Crackers. The Chia seeds sprout in your mouth and make for an odd eating experience. 

A good cracker is just made to put things on and shouldn't stand out all that much on their own. These fit that bill so perfectly I'm surprised I don't see them more often.  

Serve these at your dinner party and people will remember them, but they will not detract from what you put on them. Good job Late July.

Trader Joe's Organic Brown Rice Spaghetti Pasta

 I don't know how long I've had this Trader Joe's Organic Brown Rice Spaghetti Pasta but it must have been too long, because the stuff wouldn't cook. 

After the recommended cooking time there were large sections that stuck together and they were still on the hard side. It tasted fine but was not as good as other brown rice pasta I had. 

Again, I think I had this stuff sitting around for two or three years. I got it a long time ago and forgot about it. I'm not even sure they still sell it but if they do it has to be better than my experience.  

Ancient Harvest Organic Quinoa Pasta: Spaghetti

 I normally don't think much of Spaghetti, but this stuff is really a step above. I mean, it's just spaghetti but it's light and has a great texture. Ancient Harvest made a spaghetti that is honestly better than normal spaghetti and I think it's even better for you. 

This is great stuff, and you should definitely try it. Next, however, is the salad test and I need to fined other shapes of this stuff. 

Pukka Herbs Tulsi Clarity Tea

 

Pukka Herbs Tulsi Clarity Tea tastes like tea, who knew, and sent me right to bed. I had it both as an iced and hot version and was able to get through two pots of tea before it became and issue. 

I have to admit that if the tea is what put me to sleep  it's some good stuff. The flavor is okay but the impact is great. 

Late July Snacks Sea Salt Organic Potato Chips

Late July Snacks Sea Salt Organic Potato Chips are the kind of thing you would have liked to have at your party in early July. They aren't as good as Lay's but they are much less greasy. This is a solid potato chip and they are organic. I can't say they wow me but they are what they say on the bag and that's just fine.
 

Annie's Organic Cheesy Ravioli

Annie's Organic Cheesy Ravioli is about as good or bad an any other canned ravioli I've had. I find the sauce to be runny and good for dipping with a sweet flavor that stands out. It's too bad the ravioli they put it on is so normal. 

All in all, this is about as good as anything else I have had but looks to be a bit more expensive. As a side to a grilled cheese sandwich this is one good dipper. On its own it's just okay.
 

Organic Que Pasa Tortilla Chips Sea Salt

 Organic Que Pasa Tortilla Chips are ground with volcanic stone and seasoned with Sea Salt. I have to admit these are thin and crisp chip that hold what you put on them just fine. They are thinner and crisper than most tortilla chips.

I couldn't tell you if that is a good thing, but I sure will buy these again.

Forager Organic Whipped Cream Alternative

I Don't understand Forager Organic Whipped Cream Alternative. It's not something you would put on pie or ice cream because it's not sweet. Is there something you do with whipped cream other than have it with sweet food? I would guess it was dairy if I did not know it was vegan, but it just is kind of there. I wouldn't buy this again but I almost never by whipped cream.

Seeds of Change Organic Red Beans & Brown Rice with Corn & Peppers

 Seeds of Change Organic Red Beans & Brown Rice with Corn & Peppers is one of those products with a long name that I dislike because it makes writing a review harder. 

Past that, it's a fairly complicated rice dish that makes sense to be prepacked like this. This is any easy way to add some spice to a meal without a lot of work, and so I have to say it's a buy.

Café Sarks Organic Espresso Roast

 

Café Sarks Organic Espresso Roast is a dark rich coffee free of bitterness and full of the flavors I love in coffee. Strong as an oxen it will get me through a hard night of work. I have to say I love this stuff. Would buy again.
