However, just recently, the taste has changed dramatically. It tastes like wood now and sometimes, I can taste some pesticide. I called Amazon to return all 12 boxes, and they immediately replaced them without any hassle. However, once I got the new boxes and opened them, it tasted the same, quite awful. I called Food For Life and let them know about the taste change and a lady said that she would bring it to the manufacturers attention. I also have a twin brother in California who also said the taste has changed. Then, I went to Whole Food Market to see if the same problem was occuring with the cereal in the store. And sure enough, it tastes awful.
I hope they change the taste back to how it was. Unfortunately, due to the change in the taste, I will not be buying this cereal anymore and warn all other buyers to stay away from the GoldenFlax due to its sour and bitter and woodlike taste. I am on the search for a new cereal. Also, I noticed the packaging insert is different. Usually, it is a frosted plastic bag that has the cereal in it. Now, it is a clear like plastic bag. I wonder if the new packagaing has changed the taste.

However, a 41% price increase since November 14, 2010, for their flax cereal is extreme. The current price $41.54 for 6 boxes comes out to $7.00 each for a small 16 ounce box. The other Ezekiel cereals are priced normally ($24-$29/box). |

Hall "Gary" | 2 | 4 | 3 | 1316649600 | Healthy but not much else | I'm going to start by saying that I do enjoy this cereal and may purchase it again. The fiber content and the fact that the ingredients combine to make a complete protein make this a vegetarians delight. That being said, it isn't remarkably tasty without some doctoring. I put dry blueberries and a touch of honey on mine and it's delicious. But I can't responsibly give the cereal a perfect star rating if I have to alter it in order to enjoy. |

For one bowl of couscous you will need about 1/3rd can of this to have a hearty filling meal. The saffron in this and other Jyoti sauces (all of them have it and taste almost similar) makes up for a special addictive taste that you will keep coming back to regularly.
To make a tasty bowl of couscous that will feed 1-2 person, use the following below.
1/3rd can of one of the Jyoti sauces below. All have saffron in them
Jyoti Natural Foods Saffron Cream Sauce, 10-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)

Whole wheat couscous
Hodgson Mill Whole Wheat Couscous, 11-Ounce Units (Pack of 8)
8 oz of water
3 oz of some other curry/sauce/coconut milk. Try some of the below options.

| 298799 | 298799 | B003ZXG2VA | AIJOUSLU6MG26 | Balexander | 0 | 0 | 5 | 1338422400 | It's food? | Okay so the disappointing thing about these things are is that they are SUPER SMALL pieces of brownie. I believe there's roughly 10 in each little package. Who can eat 10 TINY LITTLE PIECES and be done? I don't know about you but 100 calories may be great but I end up eating like 3 packages at a time. I suppose the only good thing is that I'm underweight by about 15 lbs or so which means it won't kill me but still it seems a bit senseless. |

I have to admit I was somewhat disappointed after eating the first small bowl, but I think that was just because the flavor was different than I expected. At that point I was thinking that I just bought way too much of this cereal. After eating a few more bowls I've really grown to enjoy it. It's pretty amazing for a cereal with no sugar. I'm going to try some of the serving suggestions I've read in the other reviews here just to see what it's like with a touch of sweetness, but I enjoy it with just milk. |

Lee | 0 | 0 | 3 | 1328140800 | Average at best | I'd rather have half a hershey bar or snicker than eat this to be honest. first you open the package, the brownies are about 1" by .5", in other words, you can fit one on your thumb's finger tip (and as a 5 foot-2 woman, I have small hands). it was like eating one small brownie, broken up into smaller brownies. to be completely honest, these would probably go great in some ice cream, eating them alone is quite uh... boring. and unsatisfying. I'm giving it 3 stars for concept and effort, but I will be giving these to my toddler (which would be the ideal target market for these LOL). He will love them. |

I ordered this cereal not realizing that it contained 190 mg of sodium per half cup serving. The product is advertised as having no artificial flavoring and no preservatives. This claim is misleading because salt is the mother of all preservatives. Perhaps sodium is used in this product only for purposes of artificially enhancing the flavor and not as a preservative? If you have been off the processed food grid for a awhile, you will probably find, as I did, that this cereal has good flavor and texture. However, because of the comparatively high sodium content, I will not purchase this cereal again. There are other good tasting zero sugar cereals on the market with no or low sodium content. |

It may take a tiny bit of getting used to, but it is a wonderful cereal. You do need to be a little careful though....I wound up with some sort of seed (maybe Flax) that was as hard as wood and incapable of being chewed. That could have been a problem if I bit into it the wrong way.
Cereal in general is not good for you. It is not the worst thing you can eat, but it is not really good. I think this cereal is a rare exception, and you can feel great about eating it with your favorite milk or yogurt. I double the portion size, add a cup of milk and it is a great meal and not too high in calories. |

| 298777 | 298777 | B000LKYX48 | A3NMSFP1NY3LN4 | Ken McFarland | 1 | 1 | 5 | 1304294400 | Super Great Stuff! | I've used Ezekiel 4:9 bread for a lot of years and enjoyed its no-flour, high-nutrient goodness. But it's not easy to find decent cereal...most of them are high-salt, high-sugar, do-it-yourself health problems in a box.
Was great to find E4:9's cereals! I've tried the flax and the cinnamon-raisin...both are great! Most of the time, I eat it cold with almond milk. But sometimes, I like mixing E4:9 about half 'n half with oat bran (I use Bob's Red Mill), adding almond milk, and popping it in the microwave for about three minutes. This stuff is great hot!
One great thing besides knowing the cereal is crammed with nutrition and high fiber is that it fills you up but good...and sticks to your ribs for hours. A real help for losing weight.
Some people won't like this kind of cereal. Too much like chowing down on twigs and weeds and sawdust, they fear. But the flavor is truly enjoyable. Add the milk, some fruit, and you'll have energy to last!
Finally, I've compared local store prices against Amazon, and the local is far higher. |

I am talking about the 7 whole grain one.. The taste is horrible... The ezekiel cereals is much healthier and taste WAY better. I will make sure to order when I have two boxes left. I eat too much of it. I don't want to try kashi's cereal anymore! Oh, and i've been eating this cereals for about 2 years.
NOT everyday though because it cost $5.69 here!! I can get it for $4 each... 6 times 4 is 24... that's how much this cereal cost. :) |

It adds a delicious crunch to yogurt and is also yummy heated up in the microwave with milk (a substitute for Grape Nuts which is made with flour), just add a banana and yum!! |

I enjoy it with some almond milk and a handful of nuts or fruit for variety. How great is it to get a complete protein for breakfast without having to break out the fry pan? With 8g of protein and 6g of fiber (not counting what you've poured or added to it), it's a nutritious and filling way to get your day going. Plus, you'll be able to read and pronounce everything on the ingredients list. |

As others have said, no added sugars, high fiber and protein. Also, flax seeds have crazy health benefits, including help managing weight loss. For that reason alone, I paid the higher price for the cereal. I will admit, when I first tried the cereal, it was hard to choke down. I was used to cereals with high sugar content and this tasted like cardboard. After two weeks of eating it nearly every morning, all that has changed. I usually cut up a banana and throw it in the bowl, and now this cereal is hard to beat in taste.
This cereal is a perfect compliment to a weight loss regimen, and after some getting used to is awesome in taste! |

I'm hooked! | I just started the "Cinch!" diet by Cynthia Sass and have switched to healthy, organic foods. I found this cereal while looking at organic products on Amazon.com and ordered it. While waiting for it to arrive I went shopping at The Fresh Market and saw this cereal there. I decided to buy a box to try in case I didn't like it then I could return the 6-pack. Boy was I surprised--it tastes great! I pour out 1/2 a cup into a bowl then add some ground cinnamon, a handful of blueberries then almond milk. It's real crunchy and so flavorful. I NEVER thought I would like a cereal like this. And to top it off it's good for you. At The Fresh Market I also bought a loaf of Ezekiel 4:9 Cinnamon/Raisin sprouted grain bread and it is delicious--I don't even need to add butter. Tonight I had it with Blue Diamond almond butter. I'm glad I bought the cereal last week at $26.96/6-pack. I thought it was a permanent price. Now that it is $41.54/6-pack I'll be buying it at The Fresh Market for $5+/box. |
