We got the sample pack not long ago.. The only one we didn't care for was the

sunflower/flax one, every thing else we liked a lot.. The bagels were good,

as were the english muffins.. My kids especially like french toast made

from the white sandwich bread... HTH's..

For those who use kinnikinnick products are all the breads good? We

need something that looks like whole wheat bread and tastes good.

Has anyone tried there bagels? Are they good? Thanks. Joanna

and I are in the process of trying out a bunch of the Kinnikinnick

breads. She has eaten everything I give her but she's not picky except in

a very few instances, so that's no indication. I found the flaxseed bread

had a very strange texture, though it's probably one of the best for her,

so since she's not complaining I'll probably keep buying at least some of

it. I liked the brown sandwich bread and whatever one we're eating now,

but I have to wait till this afternoon when somebody will be here who can

read me the saved wrapper to know what kind we're eating right now. Being

blind, I can't tell you how the bread looks; the slices are smaller and

maybe thicker than most bread and the textures, while not unpleasant once

you eat them a couple of times, I would say are noticably different from

most bread you get in the store. My suggestion would be to do as I have:

buy one or two loaves of each kind you want to try. You do need to freeze

what you're not using right away and I re-packaged it a few slices to a

freezer bag, so how much you buy at once to sample depends on how much

freezer space you have. There is a sample package you can get with

samples from some loaves, but that included other baked goods I didn't

want, so I like my sampling method better. The breads I bought to sample

are: brown rice bread

Robin's honey brown rice bread;

sunflower flax rice bread;

true fiber multigrain rice bread;

brown sandwich bread;

yeast-free brown rice bread;

candadi (I think that might be a typo on the site) yeast-free multigrain

rice bread;

tapioca yeast-free bread.

(I think that's what we ordered). There were a few other gfcf breads we

didn't order for one reason or another, and it's a lot of bread to unpack

and freeze, so you might not want to start out sampling as widely as we

did, though I don't regret it. Also, somebody correct me if I'm wrong,

but I think most of the breads do contain some soy, and I'm not sure where

that leaves us if it's decided that soy is as big or greater no-no as

casein and gluten. I did look at the ingredients when I was ordering but

don't have that right in front of me right now re: the soy, so you'll have

to just look at the ingredients of each bread and decide what to do.
