Are these the chewy (like gummi) flowers--not so dessicated only useful for tea? TJs discontinued those I seek.

these are dried flowers. I use them to make a Mexican cold drink using ginger,lime,sugar .

I cannot imagine using them for anything other than tea. Makes good tasting tea though.

The flowers are very dry and brittle, not chewy at all until boiled in water. Then they are chewy. The tea produced is delicious. The dry tea stores well and does not seem to midew. Good luck.

These are not chewy. They are very dry. I have purchased them twice and was very happy with them. That said, I just ordered a new brand Starwest Botanicals Organic Hibiscus Flowers and was going to give it a try.

No, it is dried flower. You can boil it and drink like a hot tea, or soak it in cold water for few hours and drink it cold.

These flowers are 100% dried. If you crushed them it would be powder. After you put them in water for about 10 min they begin to hydrate. I hope that answers your question.

They are long gone now....so I can't check the packaging for a use by date. But I would hazard a guess that they will probably last for as long as you can hold off eating them! The longest that we have ever had a package of jelly beans is probably one year. The last jelly bean tasted as good as the first.

Hello from another LHC member, thinking along the same lines as you... I read the catnip thread and it said the kind with flowers and stems is usually cheaper than all leaves. The flowers contain more oils. The leaves are more astringent. I can't tell if this has all leaves or flowers and stems as well. If you get it, will you please tell me (LauraLongLocks) if it works? Thanks! I have tons of split ends and I hope this will prevent future ones.

If they were "outlawed" then NO ONE would be allowed to sell them. I had a mimosa (a totally "legal" tree) and it produced HUNDREDS of sprouts every year. I just mowed them down. I'm planning to use the R. Empress leaves as goat fodder. Any new saplings will be dispatched immediately!

Good question! I honestly don't know - perhaps that's when that particular flavor was first produced? I bet if you email the company they will give you a straight answer. They seem like good, caring people. I do know their products are among the few treats I give my dogs - I truly believe they are healthy treats, unlike most of the stuff you see on the store shelves. But seriously, email the company. I'm sure they will give you a straight answer.

I'm not crazy about them plain either. I bought some chocolate covered Goji berries once and discovered that was a wonderful combination. I tried stirring in a few chocolate chips in a bag that had been sitting around with no interest. It disappeared quickly.

I Googled them, and it appears as though they are available at your typical "chain" stores...maybe just leftover stock if they aren't making them any more, but you could try and then stock up on them:)

You used to be able to and they were my favorite chuckles but sadly no more. If you go to this website: http://www.collectingcandy.com/wordpress/?p=1228 and scroll down the page you can see a picture of the delicious all licorice version!

I doubt it and they have the taste of being farm grown. Not as flavorful as actual forest picked ones. However, they are quite decent for inclusion in soups and stir fry recipes. You will have to trim some of the stems off as they do not fully soften up. If you are seeking shitakes for plain sides like with steaks or shitake burgers I would suggest going to a Chinese store and getting their top brand dried ones.Overall, a good price for everyday Shitakes.

I made a stab at testing it for you. I put one in and let it get soft and put very, very little pressure on my teeth. Softened right up. Go for it! Yes, they are soft enough. Make sure you keep them closed up, they get hard if you leave them out of the container. They also taste great...good enough to replace 'real' gummies!

These are probably NOT the snacks. They are great when you start chewing them, but are very bitter a few seconds later. I am not sure about the "medicine", but these are the ones that my friend suggested that is almost completely healed of breast cancer without using medicine. She has totally gone organic in her eating and "clean" on products and food (including eating 8-12 of these a day). Another friend of mine claims that these have B17, that he says have cancer killing properties. I thought, why not, I will give it a shot!! If you buy them try one first and wait for the kick. Have a protein shake ready to wash it down!!! Have a good day! These are probably NOT the snacks. They are great when you start chewing them, but are very bitter a few seconds later.

These are high quality oils from a great company. I'd use the oils to flavor natural tooth paste (something im spitting out ) but not to cook with and eat. You're better off getting dry lavender flowers and grinding them in a coffee grinder for baking or tea and a tiny bit goes a long way.

NO. I have found them @ Amazon in a syrup that is wonderful in drinks and on cheese cake but these are dried for making a wonderful tea especially when sweetened with honey or a flavored syrup.

Bubbles, I have searched everywhere to no avail. I did read from a post that it was discontinued by Kellog's, why I have no idea!! I like you only used them. So did so many others. If I find them or any further info I will post. Maybe we ALL should contact Kellogs!

Not at all. I had heard that you can eat the flowers also like chips or something. But they were dry and less than flavorful. They made the bomb Jamaica though. I love Jamaica and I had fresh jug everyday for a month. Hope that helps you some. Good luck.

Not to my knowledge, but I do remember doing a search for different jams. Maybe they have some for jelly on the product web site.

Yes, they come out way too often while I am doing manual labor around the house. Of course, as my review related, I suspect my buds were Chinese knock-offs. I can't prove that, but I'm very suspicious that mine are a bogus product.
