I love Flax Plus Raisin Bran, it has plenty of nutrition for a single serving. I eat 7 times a day and it is a perfect snack and very filling. i am very satisfied with the amount of rasins, because raisins are very high in sugar and too many would be defeating the purpose of a nutritional diet.

Shamefully lacking in raisins! I have bought several boxes of your flax raisin bran, and they all have a serious raisin shortage. Perhaps a renaming is in order? Flax Flakes plus a few raisins!

Tried a box the other day for the first time. What a disappointment! I counted ten raisins in total in the entire box! Each time a had a bowl, there were at most two raisins. I was so blown away and felt like I had been ripped off, since I essentially paid a high premium for a box of bran cereal, when I already had a large bag at home. Avoid this cereal at all costs. I have tried a no name organic version of Raisin Bran that the supermarket near my house carries and it contains a huge amount of raisins. I have seen Nature Path’s product quality drastically decline ever since it was founded, to the point where they have become a soulless, greedy corporation solely concerned with maximizing profits. Stay away!

One query, one comment: FIRST: I have read and heard that the Omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid in flax is only reliably absorbed into the body when the flax seeds are crushed, since whole flax seeds will pass undigested through the intestinal tract (very expensive and wasteful doo-dee). Have the flax seeds listed in the ingredients of Flax Plus Raisin Bran been crushed? The seeds in your Hemp Plus Granola, also advertising “Excellent Source of Omega-3” appear visible as whole seeds, and are, therefore, possibly NOT an excellent source of Omega-3. SECOND: I much prefer the traditional flavor of Kellogg’s or Post bran flakes to Flax Plus. I believe that the difference is due to added malt flavor and deeper toasting to enhance the wheat taste. You could add a bit of pre-toasted whole wheat and malt syrup to your product for a better taste….less like the cardboard box. Keep up the great work.

I have been eating your Flax Plus Raisin Bran for about one year now and I want to to know that I think its the best there is. I was told by one of my doctors that I need to increase my fiber intake and your cereal give me 1/3 of the daily amount I need. What’s more important is that it tastes great, not like some over sweetened kids cereal. My only problem is that the supermarket I shop at stopped carrying them and now I have to hunt around for them. Do you have a list of which stores carry your brands? If not what would be a reasonable way to buy them from you direct? This is coming from an guy who doesn’t buy into the organic philosophy, but will buy a product that does what it says and taste great! Best regards! Larry Phillipsburg, NJ

Ah hah, I noticed that the fiber amount changed when the switch to orgainic was made. Unfortunately, this cereal has recently disappeared from Vons and Trader Joes and Jonathans and Bristol Farms / Safeway in recent months. Most unfortunate.

I share the experience of finding some boxes of cereal full of plump juicy raisins, and others with only a few, dry hard raisins. So sometimes I love your cereal, and something I just tolerate it.

I agree completely. I just sent the following: (Though I thought it had been changed to 8 g I was wrong it seens to be 8g, even worse. It was great at 11g I have been eating your flax/raisin bran cereal for a long time. The question is… It used to have 11 grams of fiber, now it has nine. Occasionally I can find a store with the 11 gram batches. What is up with that? I have asked Whole foods to look into it as well, and there has never been an answer forthcoming. It would be great to be able to find the 11 gram cereal. PS. There is also a randomness to the amount of raisins in each package. Some have a lot, and I have also had a box with maybe 3 raisins in the entire box. The raisins themselves range from typical raisin dryness and consistency, to tiny in size, and rock hard. I have tried switching to other cereals (other brands) but I prefer the taste and crisp consistency of the flakes in yours. Anyway, I would really appreciate it if I could get my 11 gram raisin bran/flax breakfast cereal again. Just doesn’t seem fair that I find the perfect breakfast cereal and then it changes. Please let me know.
