TrainaHome Grown California Sun Dried Tomato Halves - Healthy, Non GMO, Gluten Free, Kosher Certified, Packed in Resealable Bag (2 lbs)

Clean and Flavorful product. I benchmarked this product against others and it is superior. Others are often salty to enhance flavor or they add citric acid to preserve and enhance flavor. Simmer this for 5 min, dry for a bit on paper towels and pad dry. Then package in your favorite extra virgin olive oil. Don’t add salt, the flavor does not need it.

The size/price allows you to be creative. They taste like actual tomatoes with just a touch of tartness. I just ordered another bag.

Always have these in my pantry. Great to just eat, or use as ingredient. Wonderful flavor, soft and chewy texture without all the oil that is usually present in such soft sun dried tomatoes.

The first time I bought these, I really loved the flavor and snacked on them for a couple weeks before they were gone. Perfect amount of sweet and the tomatoes each looked perfect. Texture was great.Second time buying them was a HUGE disappointment. I saw the bag looked dark and was prepared to eat them even if they were brown. The brown ones were "okay". Then I realized half of them were black. Not dark brown, not nearly black, but pure 100% matte black. I couldn't bring myself to eat one of them. I have no idea what I'd be eating. I wasn't upset about it until I found these are UNRETURNABLE. I've bought other dried fruits and was able to get replacements when the product came in moldy. These took two days to ship. I know they looked bad from the day they were shipped out.Then add in the fact that the bags are huge and yet not vacuum sealed. Then add the fact that they are shady as to whether or not their tomatoes would contain a California Prop 65 warning for lead... And I almost clicked the subscription button for these. But if I may lose out on $15 every other purchase, or more, no tomatoes are worth that much...

I'm still looking for a bulk purchase option for soft sun-dried tomato halves or julienned tomatoes. I've had decidedly mixed results so far: some that were soft enough but tasted odd, some that tasted perfect but were not quite soft enough. These are perfect in terms of taste and fairly soft, but not quite as soft as I'd like them. They're terrific in terms of value for money, though, and if your interest in sun-dried tomatoes is to soften and cook them, or just cook with them in sauces, buy them! Even if you just want to eat a few as they are in your salad (which is what I usually do), you could do worse.

I liked the smaller size bags of the Traina sun-dried tomatoes so much that I upsized to the 2 lb bag. (And I just used the last of that bag last night and promptly ordered the 5 lb bag). These are truly sun-dried tomatoes -- actually dry (not moist like those imported from Turkey), with an intense, bright, fresh tomato flavor. They really are "dried" so expect them to be chewy. I have tried both the julienned and halves versions and I now go with the halves because they are more versatile. I can always cut them up myself. I use the halved tomato slice on top of crackers (try layering the cracker with a slice of pepperoni or olive tapenade, a sundried tomato half, and a round of cut up string cheese, and microwave or broil until cheese melts for a quick flavorful lunch). These are worth the price.

The product is great that’s why I ordered it again. This time I weighed the delivered product. I was shorted by 4 ounces. Didn’t expect this shortage. Almost feels like I was ripped off, Ethics come into the question.

I get my one year supply from this company...and have not once regretted it!!!
