This sale started yesterday, I meant to post but as always some well meant things get put aside.  This sale goes till Friday so there is still time to take advantage of it.

As far as taste test Tuesday:  of the products I have bought from Honeyville grain, I have thought they all were good quality and tasty--well as tasty as dried or freeze dried/powdered foods can be compared to fresh, as fresh is almost always better tasting.  But when it comes to having shelf stable foods, I have really liked the ones I have tried from Honeyville, especially the dried green onion--so nice to have on hand!!!

Here are some of the foods I have tried and liked and how I have used them:
green onion:  mixed in with eggs, on/in enchiladas, cheese & egg casseroles
diced potatoes:  in soups and pot pies--perfect size for these as they are small cubes--about the size of a pinkie nail--but in the shape of a cube
hashbrown potatoes:  as hashbrowns, or potato casseroles where shredded potatoes are nice to have
egg powder:  for baking--cakes, brownies, rolls, etc.  Remember egg powder was designed for baking not for eating like scrambled eggs--they do have a different taste, but in baked goods that difference in taste isn't noticeable.
freeze dried fruits (blueberries and strawberries):  great for snacking, in oatmeal or other cereals, in yogurt, rehydrated to make a fruit sauce for desserts or yogurt.

Notes:  Once you open a can of freeze dried or dried food, you should use it within 6-12 months.  I found this particularly true with freeze dried--as they do absorb moisture over time.  Also, I recommend reading the comments that customers have made, as they often have great ideas on how to use the food or insight on why or why not the person liked the product.
