 Absolutely the Best |
| Review Date: November 27, 2006 |
| Reviewer: M. Allen Greenbaum, California |
If you're used to those best-selling boxed raisins that feature a health woman happily working in the fields, get real, and then get Newman's Organic Raisins.
These may be the best-tasting grocery raisins you've ever had. Nothing even approaches these for their flavor, texture, and all those Newman Company extras that aficionados like me adore. (We're talking organic ingredients, environmentally sound production, profits donated to the needy, and supporting the goals of one of the most compelling actors of all time, and a heck of a nice guy as well.)
But back to the food at hand.
These are plump, JUICY raisins, startlingly different from the usual fare. I don't know how they do it, but Newman's Organic California Raisns retain their natural flavor; pleasant scent, and a succulent mouth feel that one expects from fine port. One "secret" may be the ingredients: Raisins. C'est tout. Make that ingredient, in fact. THe only thing missing is Newman's usual story on the package--usually some wild, adventurous story shedding light on the product, and featuring Mr. Newman as raconteur-narrator. Perhaps with raisins this classically delicious, we must resort to the Latin --"Res Ipsa Loquitor" -- the thing speaks for itself. Unbelievable.

| We buy lots of raisins & NONE compare to these. They are plump, soft, & sweet. No yucky, hard, & bitter raisins here! What makes them perfect is they are organic AND delicious! You will love them! Your body & the environment will thank you! |

| The other reviews have it spot on, these are really good, especially when you first unseal them. |
Excellent tasting raisins

| I love organic raisins and eat them every day. I have tried many different brands of them and I honestly think that these are the very best of them all! I love the container and the ease of opening and closing it, also. The raisins are always fresh and delicious. They are never dried out, like other brands sometimes are. I am addicted to these. |
Ravin' about raisins!

| Reviewer: Robin, edgewood, kentucky USA |
These are the Best Organic Raisins I have tried to date!
they are sealed, fresh, soft and moist with a Burst of Flavor...each
and every can. When I divide the cost out on what I was buying before
i.e. store brand organics....there is no comparision...
Newmans Own is far Superior in cost,taste,and I can recyle the packaging
in my recycle program on the curb. |
Good & Juicy

| Reviewer: S. Dowell, MI United States |
| This is the second time we've ordered Newman's own organic raisins and we have been quite pleased. The raisins are plump, tasty and just the right texture(as juicy as a raisin can be). We received them in a timely manner and are quite happy with the product. We will be ordering again and would definitely recommend it to others. |
Healthy & Tasty...and support charity too!

| Reviewer: Pietro, Fairfield, CT |
These are very healthy organic raisins [certified by Oregon's agency], tasty [moistness is fine for me...this is a matter of preference...other raisins have vegetable oil added to make them moist...thankfully, these do not!].
And, you get to support charities when you purchase them...much better than buying unhealthy candy bars!
What's not to like? ;-) |
Soft and yummy!

| Great price on this fabulous product from Newman's Own. I can't get them locally for this much. Thanks Amazon! |
Thanks for a hard-to-find container size.

| Reviewer: Pamela U. Moore, |
| I ordered these for my mother, because she was unable to find a container size like this. She told me that the raisins tasted very good, and enjoys them in cereal. The subscribe-and-save program made them an even better value. |
First time great, second time not so great

| Reviewer: Droon by the loove, Connecticut |
| The first time I got these raisins from Amazon they were great -- plump, sweet and "smooth," the way raisins should be. The second time, however, the raisins were like old or poorly stored raisins -- more grainy and not nearly as moist. So I give the first batch five stars and the second batch two or three stars. Who knows what you will get. You pays your money and you takes your chances. |
4 stars

| Reviewer: Biblio-filer, |
| Review from someone who has purchased many brands. These were fresh, soft and tasty but minus 1 star due to moistness. By definition, dried fruit should be a little more on the dry side without being dried out. Would buy again though if price is right. |
I eat raisins

| Shipped on time and fresh. I eat them. Sometimes, a lot of them in one big handful. You know when you grab a bunch and a few fall to the floor? Sometimes I get mad about those that I lose to gravity. Good raisins though! |

I like raisins. I eat them by the handful or in cereal or cookies. Even with ham sometimes. But, it seems, a raisin is a raisin is a raisin - no matter who packages them. After all - a raisin is a dried grape. These are good raisins but they taste no better than grocery store raisins. Actually, I was a little disappointed. I'd read many of the reviews here and expected something wonderful like little bursts of sunshine with each bite. What I got was a good raisin. Right now I am eating some while I re-read some of the glowing reviews and listen to Peggy Lee singing, "Is That All There Is?"
The price is not great but it's not bad either. It's Paul Newman so that's a good thing. They're "organic" but I'm still not sure why that's important.
