Reese Artichoke Hearts 6-8, 14-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12) Review

Let me say these aren't the "best" artichokes I've eaten because nothing is better than a good, fresh artichoke. So, if you want these artichokes to taste that good you will be disappointed. That being said, if you can lower your expectations to understand that canned vegetables never taste as good as fresh then you will probably enjoy these.
I would warn you if you haven't already read that these are in water that has citric acid in it - that gives them a slight tangy taste. I love limes so I enjoy this taste but for those that don't I think it would be very difficult to get that taste out completely by rinsing them.
They're good for you (iron, fiber, 2 carbs per can), easy to eat (pull tab in case you want to just take the can to work) and taste pretty good in my opinion.
Price-wise they seem to regularly go on sale for $18 or less so with subscribe and save you may get them for as little as $12.75 for 12 cans which is a GREAT price. I wouldn't buy them for the $31 or whatever that is the "regular" price.

The product is fine, but the packaging was a disaster because the cans were shipped in very thin cardboard and most arrived dented - some severely.
I would not purchase this product again via Amazon.

Thanks to Farmer’s Market Organic Butternut Squash, everyone can enjoy the sweet flavor and silky texture of this rich and popular super food. All year long without hassle we’ve eliminated the difficulty in preparing it by cracking the “nut" ourselves and creating this amazing and versatile puree. We’re seeing it used more than ever in homemade recipes such as our own Homemade Organic Butternut Soup, and we’re seeing it appear more on menus of some of the top restaurants in the country in everything from risotto to ravioli. Besides its great taste, butternut squash is very low in saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium. It’s a good source of vitamin E, thiamin, niacin, vitamin B6, foliate, calcium and magnesium, and a very good source of vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium and manganese.

Reese Quartered Artichoke Hearts, 14-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12) Review

At my local grocery store, these cans sell for almost $3 each, so I was excited by this bargain. However, the price didn't totally decide me on buying them, as I love artichoke hearts.
These are excellent. They're quartered, so they're much easier to use in recipes, etc. I like to chop them up even more and add them to salads, pasta sauces, pizza toppings, etc.
They are NOT marinated, so don't expect all sorts of olive oil and vinegar tastes. These are a mite salty, so rinse them if you're not a huge salt lover (I am not one myself, so I rinse pretty diligently).
My fave way to use them:
I heat up some olive oil in a skillet and add minced garlic. Once the garlic is beginning to brown slightly, I add 2 cups of chopped tomatoes, 1 cup of the chopped artichokes, some chopped black olives, and whatever Italian seasonings light my fire that day. I cook this down until the tomatoes are soft, then add the mix to some whole wheat pasta and toss. I sprinkle some fresh parmesan, and voila! Sometimes, I add chopped chicken breast to the mix. Sometimes I use chopped sweet Italian sausage. Delicious!
Anyway, these are an incredible bargain, and you can't go wrong. Just using the artichoke hearts is enough to go through several cans.
Enjoy!

I read the two bad reviews with surprise. I am ordering the third case of pumpkin this year. It's always been good. And the price is fair or less than Whole Foods.

When it comes to sweetness and spice, nothing beats our mouth-watering Organic Pumpkin Pie Mix. This rich and smooth organic pumpkin puree is delicately mixed with all-organic spices and deliciously sweetened with organic evaporated cane juice, saving your time and sparing you the job of shopping for each individual organic ingredient! The bright orange color is your first clue that our Organic Pumpkin Pie Mix is loaded with beta-carotene, which may help protect against heart disease, regulate blood-sugar, and reduce the severity of conditions such as asthma, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis with its anti-inflammatory effects. Also, Farmer’s Market Organic Pumpkin has large amounts of dietary fiber and antioxidants, is very low in fat and calories, and high in potassium. It also contains a fair amount of vitamin C and other nutrients such as niacin, vitamin E, calcium and iron.

Farmer's Market Organic Sweet Potato Puree, 15-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12) Review

This 100% pure organic sweet potato puree is slightly tart, so it can be used in many recipes--like sweet potato pie or casseroles--without adding lemon juice.
For a fast side dish, dip a couple of tablespoons of puree straight from the can, stir in a little of your favorite sweetener and spice and serve.
Cover tightly before refrigerating the leftovers--air causes the puree to discolor.
Overall it's a tasty and very handy way to add a nutritious super vegetable to your meals, plus it works great in classic sweet potato recipes.

Heinz Beans in Tomato Sauce, 13.7-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12) Review

These beans are the real deal if you're a British ex-pat like my hubby who needs a "beans on toast" or "beans, sausage and chips" fix. So much easier than begging Mum to pack a few tins in her case when she visits! However, be aware that Amazon ship these cans individually in a big box with air pillows for padding which means they roll and bang about. More than half of the dozen cans were badly dented. Still, everything's going to be happily eaten. Just would have preferred more care in the shipping. BTW, when you sign up for Amazon prime, you can get 12 tins shipped 2-day air with free shipping. (For us regulars, that's a fantastic deal!)

Farmer's Market Foods Organic Canned Pumpkin, 15-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)

Our dog gets pumpkin in every meal -- if yours does too, you know why. You also know that one can only stash so many cans of pumpkin, and that somewhere in the spring most supermarkets start running out of canned pumpkin and can't get more or stop ordering it (understandably). So, I was happy to see this product on Amazon.
Unfortunately, as other reviewers experienced, many of the cans arrived dented. In fact ALL 12 CANS were dented, most severely so. Thing is, unless Amazon wrapped the cans to the case flats, this was not an Amazon issue. The case pack was well buffered in a larger box that was completely undamaged; neither the shrink-wrap nor the flat were damaged; and even the inner cans in the case were bashed up.
This clearly indicates that the manufacturer -- or whomever wrapped the cases -- shipped already and obviously damaged cans. I checked the product listing and there is no mention of these being seconds. My message to manufacturer, distributor and/or Amazon: check the product or change the description so people know they are taking their chances.
Thankfully, Amazon customer service came through with an offer to replace or refund. I'm giving this one more shot for my dog's sake, and will hope for the best.
