Granforno Grissini Breadsticks, Torino, 3.5-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12)

I bought these while attempting the HCG diet (I lasted 2 weeks, lol) and these breadsticks are the reason I made it past 3 days. I didn't give them 5 stars because they taste burnt a lot, and almost all of them are broken, but beyond that, they're pretty good. I didn't care that they were broken at all but others may. I recommend these for anyone on the HCG diet, and wish you a lot better luck than I. I still have these, and still eat them periodically (almost daily). They're a great snack. I may even purchase another box after these finish because I really do enjoy them as a low calorie snack. If they could just get rid of that burnt taste they'd be perfect.

I bought these for the modified hcg diet. They work well to add a crunch. However, the garlic seemed tame compared to the sesame. I put garlic in just about everything and these just weren't as good as the sesame. Essentially I still have 9 of 12 boxes left after 6 months. Compare this to the sesame breadsticks, which I had to hold myself back from devouring 2 boxes a week.I will give what I have left to the foodbank and order the sesame ones.

I really enjoyed these. I bought them while I was on HCG. But I've kept them in my diet since. They are great as a bread stick and more. My boyfriend likes to crumble them a bit and sprinkle them on top of his chili (like he used to do with crackers). The only reason I didn't give it the full 5 stars was because some sticks weren't as flavored as the rest. They were still good, but they tasted more like the plain ones. The majority of them, however, were full of a nice garlic flavor.

I have been buying Granforno Grissini Torino Breaksticks on Amazon from several sellers for many years. The problem is they keep coming and going. I had a great seller that I was on an auto shipment plan every 4 months but then they no longer offered them. I decided to give Abe's Apple a try even though their prices are higher than I've been paying. I'm sorry I did. Although these breadsticks are from Italy be warned they were meant to be sold in an Asian Market/Country. The Sell By Date (Best Before Date) is written in Asian Characters, I believe Chinese but not 100% sure. I have attached a picture. Anyway there is no way for me to know just how old these are or when they need to be consumed by. To be fair, the first 2 boxes I opend were fresh but again how long will the remaining 10 boxes remain fresh. Abe's Apple should have mentioned the origins and how they obtained them in the product description. I did call Amazon's Customer Service to bring this to their attention and file a formal complaint and they issued me a full refund. To make sure the rest of these were consumed quickly I brought them to a local soup kitchen.

These are very inexpensive and of good quality. They taste good, with a hint of the virgin Olive Oil and the good "bread" taste. Only a few broken sticks per pack in my shipment, most were fine. Packed well in a fairly sturdy box and 12 individual boxes within that. An especially good deal at the current low price with subscribe and save.These tasted fresh and having now consumed a full pack (20 sticks), I can say that I am very happy with them. They taste very good, are crisp, pretty much what you want a breadstick to be. Four full breadsticks are only 110 calories and only 10 of those are from fat. Sodium is 260 mg (for 4). Often a couple are fine for me as a snack, so that's only 55 calories. Not bad!These are delicious with meals, too, of course, and are a good alternative to most crackers you might use. I think most people will be very happy with these breadsticks, especially at the price they are being offered for a case of 12 boxes (20 sticks per box).

I purchased these when I started the HGC diet. They were a great choice as far as taste goes. They satisfied my need for a crunch and they had a very pleasant taste to them. They didn't just have that "stale bread" taste that a lot of breadsticks have. Also, while you do get a few burned breadsticks, you don't get to many. For the most part they are pretty evenly cooked.On the down side, the quality is not that great. Every package I opened have had broken breadsticks. Now I know that breadsticks are fragile and I should expect a few broken ones, but for the most part, almost all of them in a package are broken, and some are broken so bad that they are just dust at the bottom.My biggest issue with the quality is this...so far, we've gone through 8 boxes of these breadsticks and I've come across 15 SEALED packages that contain NO breadsticks. They are just empty wrappers, AND these empty wrappers aren't just in the box as that weird bonus wrapper you receive on occasion, they COUNT towards the number of packages of breadsticks you get in a box.These breadsticks are by no means cheap, and I honestly do not mind paying for something that is not only part of my diet, but something I enjoy. I do take issue with the fact that I'm paying a premium price for a product with sub-par quality.

I searched for these breadsticks when I was about 6 weeks into the very dynamic HCG Diet and boy was I surprised, in a good and bad way. I was surprised that they tasted SO good! I was surprised at how many broken ones were in each packet.Buying a whole case at a time makes for a very affordable treat whether you are dieting or not. Overall, I ended up stashing the box in the garage and will bring it back out when I am on the maintenence part of the HCG Diet. These little treats are so tempting that I found myself wanting more than the recommended 2 per day :)I also recommend: Stevia Clear Liquid Vanilla Creme 2 Ounces Old London Melba Toast, Classic, 5-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12)

The outside box showed no damage. but the inside box was smashed 40% of product is just crumbs not edible. should be able to get it replaced or retuned for a replacement. Very evident that the product was damaged before it was packaged and shipped to me.
