 Great price. Fresh tasting. Mild.Jul 17, 2009
By Rachel Himes
If you use a large amount of sundried tomatoes (for pesto, salads, pastas, whatever), you cannot beat this price.
When shopping for sun-dried tomatoes there are generally the kind that are moist-dry (as these are). They are plump, slightly juicy, but have a concentrated tomato flavor.
Others are leather-dry and more shelf stable, but have to be slightly rehydrated before using them.
These are milder tasting than some, but still have excellent flavor. If you need "strips" for a recipe you can easily cut these with kitchen shears or add to pesto to make a fabulous pizza or pasta sauce.
They are not the kind that are soaked in oil, which is favorable in my opinion. It makes them easily to work with and lower in fat for healthy cooking. It is rare to find a "dried" tomato this juicy without being soaked in oil.
They do require refrigeration after you open them, so you may want to consider sharing a bag with a cooking friend because of the sheer volume.

 Lots of tomatoes!Dec 28, 2008

I love sun dried tomatoes to cook with and have not been able to find them reasonably priced in the stores. This is a great place to buy them. The tomatoes are a bit big and must be cut down for cooking, but at least you can have them when you want them. 5 pounds is quite a bit - would be nice to have about a 2.5 pound size instead.

 Not Good at allAug 21, 2010
By E. Scherer
They have a odd bitter taste and are way to large. I have tried several different ways of cooking them, but all my receipes end up with that same odd, bitter taste. Would not recommend.

Bad taste, tough, not worth itDec 27, 2009
By M. M. Bwany
I am not sure if it was age or something else, but these just suck. Yes, I did refrigerate them right after opening the bag. I am sure it didn't help that Amazon sent them via Fedup-with-Fedex so they wasted away in Fedex's rotten warehouse for about 2 weeks before finally making their way to my door.
Tough, very tart, odd odor. They certainly weren't edible as-is. Trying to hydrate them to get rid of the tartness didn't do much good. Tried to use them to make a sauce - cooking made them tender but the odd taste and aroma persisted. I am sorry that I wasted my money on this product.
Good For Soups, Stews.....Great PriceJul 08, 2011

Sun dried tomatoes are kinda in a class by themselves as far as a product, and flavor. Some fruits and certain olives are sun dried, but tomatoes seem to be a favorite that are easily available. I'm a lover of tomatoes in any form and sun dried is no exception. Like a lot of other dried products I use these mostly for hiking and camping. I've never been one to settle for just hot dogs and canned meals on a hike. I actually look forward to the open fire dinners on a wilderness trip as much as I do the hike itself. Sun dried tomatoes make an excellent and flavorful addition to camp soups and stews. I use them often as a substitute for tomato powder that is mostly to give a soup a tomato broth flavor. Although these tomatoes come in a nice "fun" size suitable for just eating as is, I don't really eat them, or recommend them that way. If you like your sun dried tomatoes as a snack, or in salads, I would suggest you buy one of the more expensive brands. The expensive ones are a little more tender and a smidgen more flavorful than the Roland's. But if you like using sun drieds in a soup, stew, or casserole, I highly recommend the Roland's. The price can't be beat here on Amazon for a 5 lb bag, and once they are warmed and simmered in a big pot as I use them, trust me when I tell you they all pretty much taste the same. They are very convenient to tote along on a hike in your back pack, and are very much appreciated in a hot stew over an open fire way out yonder somewhere. Go for it and enjoy...
