Good Sense Organic Cherries, 4 Ounce Bags (Pack of 4) Review

Good Sense Organic Cherries, 4 Ounce Bags (Pack of 4)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Mine arrived from amazon with 3 months out expiration. They were dry and wrinkly like raisins. Straight out of the bag they are edible but not enjoyable. I may try them in cooking to reconstitute and reduce or maybe bake into pancakes, muffins or bread. I wouldn't buy again but will use. What I do highly recommend is Eden Dried Montmorency Cherries, 4-Ounce Pouch (Pack of 3)
UPDATE 6/16 there is something seriously wrong with these "dried cherries" - i used them in chocolate chip cookies and muffins; both times it changed the cookies and muffins bright orange like the color of carrots and the "cherries" themselves turned to the color of raisins. very wierd. i don't think mine are safe to eat.

Oskri Organic Kosher Bars Review

Oskri Organic Kosher Bars

I bought a box of these bars as an organic alternative to the usual Joyva sesame snaps that I buy. The date syrup also seemed like a good alternative to sugar and HFCS.
However, when I received the box of sesame bars I was dismayed to realize that the bars are mostly syrup (over 75%)!!
Regardless of the organic ingredients and alternative sweeteners, these are much less healthy than I thought - they're basically sugar with a few sesame seeds thrown in - and they taste that way.
On the Amazon website it lists the ingredients for these Oskri bars as:
Organic Sesame Seeds (49%), Organic Date Syrup (26%), Organic Brown Rice Syrup (25%).
The ACTUAL ingredient list on the package is:
Rice Syrup, Sesame Seeds (23.5%), Date Syrup (12%)
I realize that Amazon has a disclaimer about ingredient lists, but this is a real disappointment!
I would argue that the packaging is really misleading - these aren't sesame bars with date syrup, but rice syrup bars with sesame seeds and only 12% date syrup! I expected a quality product and feel like I vastly overpaid.
Looking at the original (Amazon) ingredient list, I assume that Oskri changed its ingredients to cut costs, but whatever the reason these are neither a good deal, healthy or delicious.
UPDATE:
After writing this review, I checked out Oskri's website and the box that the bars came in - BOTH the website and the box had the old ingredient list (49% sesame seeds) - it was only the bar wrapper that showed the true ingredients of the bar.
Then, I contacted Oskri about the ingredient list issue and the fact that my sesame bars had far fewer sesame seeds than I paid for. I received a very unsatisfactory form email in return - and nothing in response to a second email.
BOTTOM LINE: Do not buy products from Oskri - they seem to have no problem (a) making inferior products and (b) misleading people into buying them and then (c) providing unsatisfactory customer service.
Basically - I wouldn't trust any of their other products to contain the ingredient formulations advertised.

You read the nutrition info and see it has 13 grams of fiber. What could taste good with 13 grams of fiber, has low sugar and is gluten free? Well, this does! I was pleased with the texture, easy to chew--you are not trying to swallow sawdust with this bar. The fruity tastes is loud and clear but not over powering. It holds together nicely and fills you up!
I am pleased with my purchase!

Flavored with almonds and cranberries, these gluten-free fiber bars from Oskri Organics are ideal for those who want to boost their fiber intake yet limit sugar. Chicory root extract is used as a binder, which, in turn, increases the bar's fiber content. In fact, each bar provides between 12 and 13 grams of fiber-- more than 40 percent of your recommended daily intake. In addition, the bars are low in calories and carbohydrates and are lactose-free. They're well suited for diabetics, vegans, or those who follow kosher or halal customs--and their taste makes them appealing to kids and adults alike. Each bar contains a mere 3 or 4 grams of sugar, and there are no additives, preservatives, trans fats, or artificial sweeteners. Included are 20 Oskri Organics fiber bars, each weighing 1.5 ounces.
