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

A quality product made in USA. Just received my third order. Tomatoes have appropriate moisture and great flavor.

Most of the reviews were positive so I rolled the dice on purchasing a 2 lb bag and I was not disappointed. Taste good, and use in salads an soups.

About a month ago, I asked a question to the seller and fellow shoppers about the mold issues reported by Amazon customers (most of who left feedbacks in the winter of 2019/2020). The seller responded and told me that they were in the process of replacing the bad ones and sending a fewer boxes to Amazon from now on. Trusting the seller, I decided to become a guinea pig. I ordered a 5-pound box. The improvement: The plastic bag now has a zip tie. The tomatoes are bright red and tasty. These are more moist and slightly less sour than a store-bought product I’be tried. Not as flavorful as homemade oven-dried tomatoes, but I still enjoy having them very much. I put all of them in the fridge because they are so moist. This is a great snack at a great price. This will ease my cravings for junk food! I’ll be ordering more in the future.

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.

We use this for making soup when camping. For that, they are an excellent, lightweight choice.

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...

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.

I liked the flavor and moistness. But I have had unsulphured sun dried tomatoes and they can be great. They are darker (almost black) and dryer, the former of which people here complain about but which never produce the flatulence heavily sulphured dried fruits do. The box says “Packed in California”. “Grown in California” is not stated. I wonder. Turkish sun dried tomatoes I have gotten are always very salty- no thanks. We will finish the second 10lbs we have ordered lately and look for unsulphured.
