Many do not know any better, and some actually substitute Annato - 2.75 oz. Jar (also known as achiote). You will get a rice dish, but I would not call it risotto.
I've used various brands and types of saffron and to me the best come from Iran and Afghanistan. This particular brand is, as another reviewer stated, very high quality and is reasonably priced.
There is about a 12 month supply of saffron in this package (assuming normal use), and at the asking price there is no excuse to use cheaper grades of saffron or annato. |

I was teaching a high school class in central Los Angeles
a number of years ago, when
a sweet Asian girl (an "A" student of mine), offered me some.
("Hey, Mr. _____, want some squid shreds?").
Clever girl.
I was hooked.
Leave it to the "A" students of the world! |

Arrived promptly without issues. | I've always liked Hormel chili, No, it isn't healthly eating, but when time is at a premium, a quickly heated bowl will do your taste buds and tummy good. I bought these based on other reviews and I was pleased buy the taste. This is the BEST canned chili I have ever tasted. I bought this along with some other canned goods. (See other reviews.) I'm working on building up my emergency food and kits and this 6pk of cans fit the bill nicely in quantity, price and expiration date of 12/14. Name brands aren't important to me as price, but this package was a good deal.
The pop-up cans arrived promptly in advertised condtion without dents. No issues here. Whether you're stocking up your home or emergency food supply, I can recommend these without any hesitation. This is yummy for your tummy. |

Two of them popped open, likely due to the pull-back-type tops (no can opener needed) and insufficient packaging that allowed the cans to get banged up. The mess was all over the rest of my shipment. It had time to mold and begin giving off a rotten odor. I had to remove the labels from all the cans because they were covered in this mess, as well as unwrap other items in the shipment.
A week later, we decided to eat a seemingly undamaged can of chili and when I started opening it, it EXPLODED. I cut my finger on the can lid as it popped up and chili went everywhere - even on the ceiling!
Basically, I paid this price for three cans of useable chili, not six. Maybe mail-order chili isn't such a good idea.
I give it 3 stars because the product itself is good when it's edible. |

I ordered this chili almost a month ago and it has been sitting in my pantry until tonight when I finally got the courage up to try it. I am not really sure what I expected. I have vague memories of canned chili from my childhood and it tasted a lot like an old sock in a tin can. I was pretty scared to try this stuff out. But things seem to have improved since the Time of Cave Man and this Chili is not bad.
When I first tasted this, it seemed really good, but then I realized that I was really hungry as I had not eaten a real mean, even a canned one, in two days, so I was prepared to adjust that opinion.
After, the first few bites where I was in the "starving" mode I began to notice some other qaulities that were not solely based on How Good the Chili tasted. The next thing I noticed was a pronounced Saltiness. I believe you could leave this stuff stored and salt alone would keep its shelf life good for years. That is how it tastes. The can states that it has 45% (or 1080 mg of a total 2000mg) of Sodium/Salt. It also states that it has less than 2% of salt. That may indicate that, by volume, salt is less than 2%. And that is true. But the average person should have no more than 2000 mg of Sodium/Salt a day. So I do not know who did their math, but 1080 is slightly more than half of 2000, so the RDA should be about 54% not 45%. Take it from me, this stuff is salty. I had my crackers out to eat with my Chili and after a couple of crackers, I ate Chili only. No need for crackers. A shame, as Chili is best with crackers. But they are not needed; in fact, it is painful to try to take in more salt than the Chili itself gives you.
The next thing I noticed was that the Chili was sort of "gummy." The consistency is not quite right. Chili, right off the stove, has some "soup" to it. This does not. It is closer to the consistency of gumbo or chowder. It is quite thick. I am not used to it, so I felt it was a bit "too full" or "gummy." Others may not be used to that small amount of soupiness. But, which ever side of the fence you eat your chili on, this is not the soupy side.
The consistency that I experience as gumminess may be fat. The Chili has 15% of your daily allowance of fat. That is a whole lot of fat for a 15 ounce can. That means 10% of the can is fat. That makes my arteries shudder. The only ingredients are water, beef, beans and crushed tomatoes plus spices. The only thing on that list that has fat is the beef. So, they are not using the best grade of beef in the world. But, then goodness, this is Canned Chili. That must be where the lower quality beef goes! Into my canned chili!! It certainly is not the beef that I put in my own personal chili!!!
So, that about sums it up for the Canned Chili. The taste is pretty good but salty. You get more than half the salt you need in one day from this can. Forget the crackers and the chips for today. You also get 15% of all the fat for one day in this can. The percentage for the fat is not so bad as the percentage for the salt, but if you think of 10% of the can being fat, it is not quite so appetizing as it once was. But then again, I point out that this is Canned Chili. The Health Nuts of the world are not out eating it. It is those others of us who won't or don't cook, and who are not really into all that health food suff. That is who eats Canned Chili.
So, for Canned Chili, I give it four stars. I knew I wasn't buying the most healthful stuff to start with. Really, I just wanted to have something to eat on the nights when nothing else was available. So, I figure, I really do not care about all that health information. I am just ticked because it is too salty to allow me to crush my crackers up in it. Dang! Chili without crackers!! So, four stars it is. I would give it three and a half and take off for the fat, the salt, and the less than perfect taste, but they won't let me do that. So, go ahead and give this a whirl. I'll eat it every two or three weeks. If you have to eat it more often than that, I recommend Something Else to protect your arteries and kidneys. Perhaps a salad would do the trick. So, eat it, but not too much of it!!!! |
