We buy lots of raisins & NONE compare to these. They are plump, soft, & sweet. No yucky, hard, & bitter raisins here! What makes them perfect is they are organic AND delicious! You will love them! Your body & the environment will thank you!

If you're used to those best-selling boxed raisins that feature a health woman happily working in the fields, get real, and then get Newman's Organic Raisins.

These may be the best-tasting grocery raisins you've ever had. Nothing even approaches these for their flavor, texture, and all those Newman Company extras that aficionados like me adore. (We're talking organic ingredients, environmentally sound production, profits donated to the needy, and supporting the goals of one of the most compelling actors of all time, and a heck of a nice guy as well.)

But back to the food at hand.

These are plump, JUICY raisins, startlingly different from the usual fare. I don't know how they do it, but Newman's Organic California Raisns retain their natural flavor; pleasant scent, and a succulent mouth feel that one expects from fine port. One "secret" may be the ingredients: Raisins. C'est tout. Make that ingredient, in fact. THe only thing missing is Newman's usual story on the package--usually some wild, adventurous story shedding light on the product, and featuring Mr. Newman as raconteur-narrator. Perhaps with raisins this classically delicious, we must resort to the Latin --"Res Ipsa Loquitor" -- the thing speaks for itself. Unbelievable.

I love organic raisins and eat them every day. I have tried many different brands of them and I honestly think that these are the very best of them all! I love the container and the ease of opening and closing it, also. The raisins are always fresh and delicious. They are never dried out, like other brands sometimes are. I am addicted to these.

These are the Best Organic Raisins I have tried to date!
they are sealed, fresh, soft and moist with a Burst of Flavor...each
and every can. When I divide the cost out on what I was buying before
i.e. store brand organics....there is no comparision...
Newmans Own is far Superior in cost,taste,and I can recyle the packaging
in my recycle program on the curb.

We originally bought these because of a promotion, but because they are the best raisins out there, we recently took our sixth shipment from Amazon. The 6 pack of canisters is good for a family of four for about 3-4 months. The 15% discount for subscribe and save helps out, and you can cancel if you don't want to receive anymore without penalty.

The price is not great but it's fair. It's Paul Newman so that's a plus. They're "organic" but I'm still not sure why that's important. I like raisins. I eat them by the handful or in cereal or cookies. Even with oatmeal sometimes. These almost seem like a different fruit than the other raisins that i have had. they are softer, and a much richer flavor. After all - a raisin is a dried grape. These are good raisins and they taste much better than grocery store raisins. Actually, I was a little shocked at how good they were. I'd read many of the reviews here and expected something wonderful like little bursts of sunshine with each bite. What I got was a great raisin.

I used these raisins primarily for baking...<a cooking tip> in case they are dry, just soak them before you use them in your recipies.They were sweet,moist and I would purchase them again.

The other reviews have it spot on, these are really good, especially when you first unseal them.

A great addition to any dish or just right out of the box. Do note that these need to be refrigerated once the package is opened.

this product is fresh taste great,and the raisins are so plump and juicy.oh and the price is pretty good also.
