McCabe Organic Coix Seed - Job's Tears 2 Lbs| High Protein and Fiber | USDA and CCOF Certified | Packed in USAUSDA Organic

What some are saying it smells musty… sorry but that is the smell of raw seeds. Jobs Tears have a slight bitter taste. Taste just like they smell. I add to soups which is fine or eat like cereal and add cinnamon sugar ( monk fruit) and milk. For cooking I soak several hour in salt water, drain and rinse then put in my rice cooker. The health benefits far out way smell or taste. They chew like barley.

Expensive but high quality grains, packaging is the best in the business, arrived timely. If not for the high price, I would make it a daily staple.

While this grain boasts many things, "great tasting" is not one of them. I can only describe as muddy tasting. I made a batch using veg broth and some seasonings and couldn't eat it. Ended up diluting to a 1/4 cup mixed in a pile of veggies to mask the taste. I hate to throw it out, but it is literally that unpleasant.

Great quality. Good seeds have many benefits so I use them in soups, teas or just like any other grain.

I'm surprised other reviewers haven't talked about how beneficial these are as a health food. Absolutely amazing. I'm so glad I tried it. I will literally not skip this food for a day if I can help it!The first package I got from McCabe was "expired" by 4 years. It was still just fine. There was a very very faint smell of rancid oils. (If you eat granola bars or whole grain foods, you've probably eaten food with far more of this smell without noticing.) The seeds were perfectly healthy to eat. I tried and failed to sprout them.The second package I ordered after finishing the first is not expired, and they smell fresh. I might it might not try to sprout this new batch.... Will update here if any luck.Overall, I think that even if these sellers are not delivering consistent freshness, you should pursue coix seed in general. And to clarify, the worst of freshness I experienced was.... Not bad at all

nice change from oatmeal

Fresh, Excellent McCabe Organic Coix Seed, 2 lbs. Despite Amazon’s thin plastic shipping package, the vacuum sealed product arrived undamaged. Pleased to see expiration date is a year out. No rancid or off smell. Rinse water was clean. Clean flavor. Will definitely order again even though price is a bit high.

I used to be a Macabe’s customer and trusted their products, however, this Organic Jobs Tear grain made me very sick after ate it! I throw up and got very sick!I tried to return it, but not returnable! I called AMZ customer service rep and he gave me a credit for it! Thanks AMZ. The expiration date is printed as good till 2025, but the contents smells like mold! Too bad that I found this out after I ate it! I’m still in very sick condition and can’t consume nothing for a while except just water!
