Best Cloves

Spicy World Cloves, Whole, 1 Pound
Whole cloves are often used to stud hams and pork, pushing the tapered end into the meat like a nail. They enjoy much popularity in north Africa and the middle east where they are generally used for meat dishes, though rice is often aromatized with a few cloves. Hand-selected cloves with a high oil content for rich flavor in pickles, drinks, curries and meats.
Reviews
"Great price on these cloves that are fresh and fragrant."
"I am using them to make fragrance packets with lavender flowers, etc."
"1/2 cup cloves. 4-6 sticks cinnamon. 2-3 sliced lemons. 2-3 sliced oranges. 1 tsp.vanilla. 1 bay leaf. This larger quantity was great & fresh. Bring to a boi and let simmer all day-just keep adding water, or orange/lemon juiceo add."
"Very good for the price, had more sticks/twigs in it than I would would have liked, but because the price is so good, I have actually ordered the 1 pound bag of cloves twice, and likely will again."
"However, these are not as fragrant and the clove heads break off easily when I try to stud anything, whether ham, pork or fruit for pomanders."
"I boil a pot of water on the stove all the time in winter so my skin doesn't suffer from the dryness."
"I am using these for crafting, specifically, making pomanders."
"Specifically, in my bag I estimate 10% of the contents are twigs (many multiple stemmed twigs) or clove debris (totally unusable product); nearly 30% are "headless" cloves (unusable); of the cloves with intact pods, about 30% are on a stem that is jointed (the tiny bit at the end of the stem that is typically already snapped away) or are on stems so short the clove won't stay put in the orange."

"I like this brand, its like a mid-grade BSO."
"Great supplement for inflammation."
"I have been using Black seed Oil for a year now."
"I love black seed oil, but normally get it at the health food store."
"4 main reasons I hated this product: 1) The Taste is like cooking oil (canola) (it should be strong , bitter, and burning feeling ). 2) The color is pale yellow not dark yellow. 3) The smell is far from black seed oil. 4) The packaging is plastic bottle (was leaking during Transit). I’ve been taking black seed oil for a long time, and I know exactly what I am talking about."
"I ordered another brand of black seed oil from another seller on Amazon and it is yellow and amber in color just like the research said black seed oil should be. This oil however is dark brown /black in color and research says black seed oil should never be this color."
"I have used many other Black Seed Oil from other manufactures and this one taste horrible as if it burned cooking oil."
"Couldn't stand the taste."

Best Dill

Simply Organic Dill Weed Cut & Sifted Certified Organic, 0.81-Ounce Container
Simply Organic Dill Weed Cut & Sifted Certified Organic. Certfied Organic; Kosher.
Reviews
"Radiation is applied to kill bacteria and other contaminants, leaving the finished product with decreased levels of vitamins and natural enzymes. Irradiation also changes the chemical composition of a spice, potentially creating toxic, carcinogenic by-products in the food and increasing our exposure to free radicals. It’s full of taste and is great on nearly everything: poultry, seafood (salmon), soups, salads (macaroni/potato), pickling/fermenting foods, breads, dairy (sour cream/ cream cheese), scrambled/deviled eggs."
"I was a little nervous about buying dill weed online, but I really needed it for some cucumber avacodo salad I love to make and my car was broken down so I couldn't get to the store to get my regular brand. The price was the same as I pay for a bottle half the size (of non-organic) at my local grocery store. 3."
"I also made a nice spinach dip and this dill flavor really added to it."
"Nice dark color and I like other Simply Organic products I have in the kitchen."
"I use dill so often I figured I’d invest a bit, get a bigger bottle so I have it a bit longer 5han usual brand I bought."
"I LOVE ALL the Simply Organic Spices!"
"I make my own pickles and use this as dill when I don't have fresh growing."
"My niece lives in Hawaii where the beaches are gorgeous and the weather near perfect but the prices of spices are astronomical!"

Reviews
"I posted a review a couple of months ago after first trying this product and noticing the immediate effects of feeling energized and less moody. I must've gotten so used to feeling abnormal that it became normal for me, and now I can't help but think, "How did I live that way for so long?!" My PMS was horrible: extreme moodiness, tenderness in the chest area (ladies, you know), debilitating cramps, abnormal flow, and all that jazz."
"If you want the sparknotes version, it gives me a very clean sense of energy, increases my libido, acts a great pre-workout/run supplement, helps with my concentration and provides that extra spark I need in my everyday routines. I don't feel any overwhelming sense of jittery energy like caffeine brings, but just an overall sense of being awake and aware throughout the day."
"Just started to use this in the past month."
"I've put the Maca powder in coffee, smoothies and my turkey chili and it tastes great."
"I use this product daily in my morning smoothie."

Best Cinnamon

Organic Wise Ceylon Cinnamon Ground Powder, 1 lb-From a USDA Certified Organic Farm and Packed In The USA
Organic Ceylon Cinnamon Powder: The only one true real cinnamon in the world. Unfortunately some people's first experience with ceylon cinnamon hasn't been very good as many brands out there carry low grade true cinnamon, making people stick to cassia. Once you taste what top grade ceylon cinnamon tastes like, you will never go back to another brand or cassia again. In fact Several studies have found that Cinnamon has properties that help those with insulin resistance.Ceylon Cinnamon is the cinnamon more closely associated with the potential health benefits involving blood sugar regulation.It is particularly popular because it has low levels of Coumarin compared to Cassia Cinnamon found in your grocery store. Both the TASTE and AROMA of Ceylon Cinnamon is different then that of Cassia Cinnamon, which is the cinnamon we are used to tasting as it is 99% of the store bought cinnamon in the US.Most people absolutely love the taste and aroma of our ceylon cinnamon,which can be described as a REFINED,FRAGRANT,EXOTIC aroma with a COMPLEX,SWEET, taste compared to the taste of Cassia Cinnamon.
Reviews
"WE LOVE this cinnamon - it is tops for anything that we would use cinnamon for."
"I love the taste of this brand of cinnamon, it is so very distinctive Ceylon and not cassia."
"I bought a small bottle of Ceylon Cinnamon from Whole Foods and really thought it was bland and had an almost sharp unpleasant taste but as thought well it is healthy."
"I did try to contact Organic Wise based on the business card included in the bag, but to no avail."
"My Ceylon Cinnamon arrived right on schedule and I have no complaints."

"Finally invested in some imported Spanish paprika. If you don't get smoked paprika, you get more of a Mexican chili powder taste, though the imported Spanish varieties like Chiquilin and Chinata are much higher quality with little bitterness and less heat. If you care about authentic paprika flavor for your dishes, there is no substitute for high quality imported spanish paprika like Chiquilin."

"Mild, subtle paprika, doesn't hit you over the head."
"I love the taste, and aroma it gives to food."
"I generally buy paprika and smoked paprika at the Polish store so it is the Hungarian or some kind of Eastern European variety, or just at Fresh Market or some other kind of gourmet grocery store.

"Almost all of them are whole leaves, very, very small amount of broken leaves. lol. I think the reason people have said they have broken leaves is because leaves are in a large silver bag and like potato chips if you crush the bag you will have broken chips, so maybe they were mishandled."
"And now that you know that these are some good bay leaves, you can go finish the other half of the battle and buy them!"
