NUTS U.S. - Unsulphured Crystallized Ginger Chunks | No Artificial Colors | Fresh and Delicious Dried Gingers in Resealable Bag!!! (3 LBS)

These are fresh-tasting, all natural, well sugared without being too crusted. The pieces are of varying sizes from small to quite large, as befits a natural product. I would NOT recommend you having them anywhere near children as a result though, as they could choke.The other warning is what I would call varying degrees of rootiness. Some pieces are super soft. Others required quite a chew, or if they are really big, a knife would be a good solution. Again, this proves it is an all natural product, not just soft candy made with cane sugar and flavoring as so many are. This is the real deal. Being it is unsulphured, it is much healthier and the taste is amazing.I gave some to my stepdad to try--I have to dole it out in little baggies for him or else he would eat the whole 3 pounds in one sitting! Great value for the price. A real winner. Better than candy!

They are tasty and firm.

First, allow me tosay that I eat this ginger nt as a candy or snack but as part of medical symptom relief. I suffer from bad headaches, among other things, that are often relieved by ginger ingestion--whether by tablet or, in this case, in crystalized form. Historically, I have used my local grocery store's generic brand of ginger. Two pieces, and relief was immediate! But when I tried these, I admit that they were difficult to take seriously. For one thing, their texture is definitely that of a gum-drop candy, and more sugar than actual ginger. However, within thirty minutes, I did experience temporary relief from my headache, nausea, and other disturbing symptoms. Whereas the Kroger brand of crystalized ginger helped for about thirty minutes, the Nuts brand maintained relief for perhaps two hours. I was amazed! I now use this ginger rather than the generic brand when I feel truly unwell, for it is much more effective. One minor qualm: About one out of every five pieces, usually the larger ones, are extremely fibrous, tough, ad, on some occasions, literally impossible to chew. Also, the ginger is very sugary, which can be a bit overpowering and intense, overshadowing the actual ginger flavoring. I usually solve this problem by simply dusting off the piece at hand--most of the sugar can be removed easily that way, leaving you with a more manageable, more enjoyable coating that adds some sweetness without taking away from the ginger itself. Those problems aside, though, this is a wonderful, helpful product that I will continue to order for its efficacy against headaches.

Delicious and great value!

Sometimes we have received this product and found that a percentage of the pieces are too hard to chew, or they are a bit too hot for our tastes.Most of the time, we are pleased with the quality. So far, this recent purchase seems to be meeting our expectations.We really appreciate being able to obtain Unsulfured ginger pieces.

I am so very disappointed with the ginger I received from Amazon yesterday. Today, when I clicked the icon to return the ginger, I saw that this product cannot be returned. You (Amazon and the seller) advertised it as unsulphured. I have a sulfur allergy and, yesterday, when the package arrived, I had one piece. As my allergy presents much discomfort, I always go slowly with new products. Soon after I had eaten the piece of ginger, the rash and accompanying symptoms began. I thought perhaps I had not been careful and it was something else that I had eaten that had sulfur. I had another piece today and again the rash, but with greater intensity. Actually, it is some five hours later and I still have the rash. I looked yesterday and today at the Amazon website and saw "unsulfured"! The package itself does not say anything about sulfur. Very very misleading and I am extremely disappointed, especially now that I have three pounds of ginger that I cannot return and have both lost the money and must wait for the rash symptoms to subside. I do hope that you, Amazon, follow up on my complaint. Truthful advertising is a must.

It's one of those difficult votes: more like a 3.5 or so. The ginger is fresh and flavorful. The pieces are good sized chunks and so some have some tough fibers, somewhat expected. But what was not expected are pieces that have are wood-hard inside. I've used about half the bag and about 5 pieces are bad: the outer part is okay, soft, but the middle, you can't bite through it at all and have to throw it away like a pit. I've never encountered this in candied ginger.

I LOVE this tea.I have a large mug so usually use 2 tea bags. Not with this one. Often times when done, I hang on to the mug with the bag still in it and another for my next cup. I will do this a 2nd time and add the 3 bag.When my supply gets low, I’ll buy 2 more. Cost effective and delicious!
