Grape-Nuts Flakes Cereal, 14-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 4) Review

Average Reviews:

I always liked Grape-Nuts Flakes better than Grape-Nuts. The regular Grape-Nuts are too much like chewing gravel to me. The flakes have a great nutty flavor. They do get soggy very quickly, though. Sometimes I like them that way. If you don't like soggy cereal, I recommend cutting the serving in half, eat the first half with milk, then add the second half to the remaining milk. Or just eat fast :)

Uncle Sam Toasted Whole Wheat Flakes & Flaxseed Cereal, Original 10 oz (284 g) Review

I discovered Uncle Sam cereal in the local supermarket in 1977, searching for something for a friend that was suffering from constipation problems. I've been hooked on it ever since - it has 10 grams of fiber, and it really does keep your system cleaned out - it's tasty (I eat it with Soymilk) and I do like the texture (it's crunchy and the flax seeds also add an interesting twist). Be sure to chew the flax seeds thoroughly. It is very filling, too.

Since 1908100% Whole Grains10g FiberOmega-3 Fatty Acids from Flaxseedless than 1g SugarRecommendations for all the right reasons!Whole Grain & Fiber: Just take a look at the flakes and you can see the shape of the original grain. Our traditional "rolledberry" method preserves the natural fiber, nutritional value, and flavor of the wheat making every flake of Uncle Sam® cereal a true whole grain.Why choose whole grains? Whole grains are complex carbohydrates. This means they are the type of carbohydrate that is an excellent source of fiber. A single serving of Uncle Sam cereal provides 10g of dietary fiber, including both soluble and insoluble fiber. Fiber helps maintain blood sugar levels which is important for those trying to lose or maintain weight and improve energy. It also helps to lower cholesterol, reduce the risk of diabetes, and promote regularity. Whole grains are rich sources of several vitamins and minerals including antioxidants and phytochemicals - all of which may help reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer and the effects of aging.Flaxseed: nearly all of the fat found in Uncle Sam Cereal is "heart healthy" fat based from flaxseed. Flaxseed is one of the best sources of plant omega-3 fatty acids - "essential fatty acids" that cannot be made by the body and must be provided by diet. Omega-3 fatty acid may help prevent cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and inflammatory disorders as well as lower the risk of some cancers and aid in mental acuity and metabolism. The fat found in Uncle Sam cereal is working hard to keep you healthy! In addition, flaxseed contains both soluble and insoluble fiber as well as lignans, plant chemicals which may help to reduce the risk of certain cancers.Low Sugar: A serving of Uncle Sam cereal has less than 1g sugar! We use just a touch of barley malt to enhance the natural flavor and sweetness of the whole grain. A diet low in added sugar

Bob's Red Mill Unsweetened Medium Shredded Coconut, 24-Ounce Packages (Pack of 4) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been using Bob's red mill unsweetened coconut for about 2 years now and it's great. My favorite use for it is as part oif a coating for chicken or fish. You just toast the coconut in a nonstick pan until nice and deeply browned and then mix it half and half with Panko crumbs or regular breadcrumbs. Dredge your chicken pieces in flour, dip in egg and then coat with the coconut & breadcrumbs. I bake mine in the oven but you can also deep fry. This coating is also excellent for shrimp or scallops. Since it's unsweetened, you can use it in carribbean stews or any other savory dish. For baked goods it's especially helpful in controlling the amount of sugar in the final product. Coconut doesn't really need to be sweetened when it's added to other sweet ingredients. For example, those 7 layer dream bars with chcolocate and butterscotch chips as well as sweetened condensed milk don't really need sweetened coconut now do they? I also add this coconut to banana nut breads, chocolate brownies and icings for cakes. If you are making a regular white cake with coconut icing, you can punch up the coconut quotient by trhwoing in a half cup or so into the mix and then some more into the custard filling and get triple coconut cake! Yum. It's not hard to toast this coconut but be aware that once it starts browning, it browns VERY fast and will continue browning even after you remove it from the heat. Once you have bought this and used it, you'll find a hundred other uses for it. try the coconut encrusted chicken for something different!

I decided to go on the low GI and found that this cereal was low gi and high in fiber. I get 50% of my fiber from one bowl of this and don't have to worry about the usual added (or hidden) sugar or sweeteners that is in many other cereals that say they are healthy like fiber one. Also, this tastes very good!

A unique blend of toasted whole grain wheat flakes and whole flaxseed, Uncle Sam Cereal provides a natural way to start your day.

SweetLeaf All Natural Zero Calories SteviaPlus, 100 Packets, 3.5 Ounce Boxes (Pack of 2) Review

SweetLeaf All Natural Zero Calories SteviaPlus, 100 Packets, 3.5 Ounce Boxes (Pack of 2)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Postives:
1.The price is right. Stores in my area charge $14.95 per package. Right now Amazon's price is half that.
2.It is sweet.
Negative:
1. The first package contained small brittle pieces which dissolved easily. The other dozen I've opened have one piece which has the consistency of taffy and does not dissolve with ease. Makes no sense why this would be the case but it is.
Personal opinion:
To me, the taste is so-so. Take a lot to sweeten a 32 oz smoothie. The licorice taste is detectable even if you use small amounts. I like licorice (a lot) but not in the background of everything I sweeten.
I'm not using what I bought but others might find the product to be wonderful. Especially if you absolutely must restrict your intake of sugars. It is very popular in Japan and growing in popularity in the USA. It could be exactly what you are looking for and it certainly is better than any near zero calorie alternatives I've found. I would suggest trying one packet someplace before buying 200 of them.
10-11-06 Update: Wisdom Natural Brands saw this review, emailed me and said they will replace any box which contains hard packages. Because of the weather, they had some product which absorbed water making the Stevia, as I mentioned above, taffy-like. A limited problem apparently. Doesn't affect quality or taste, just makes the product slower to dissolve. Didn't take the company up on the offer as the product is usable, the price was good and the relatives I gave it to like it a lot (one has to restrict sugar..a couple others of us should...).
