Original post made on Apr 11, 2010

It sounds interesting, but you should review your articles prior to publishing them - "Her goal was to create a healthy that people would eat regularly, and cereal seemed like a good avenue for pulses to be eaten in every household in America, she said."

sounds like crap....but good luck! im sure it is not cheap renting retail space in this area. there also might be a reason that "we" the usa export 85% of pulses farmed here. maybe there is no market? im sure people have tried, they probably most likely taste like they sound. caramel and choclate flavors must cover up the bad taste. again good luck! i will stop by the store and pick up a box next time i am at ranch 99

I tried a box and was very pleasantly surprised. It actually tastes really good. My 12 year old who hates all other cereals, loves it! I'm sold!

It's great to have all these local food companies, my other favorite is GoRaw. My husband and I will definitely be trying the cereal and snack food!

And it is "palate," not "palette."

Unsweetened would be more appealing to many - easy to sweeten to personal taste

I am out of town for a couple of week. Could someone head over there and try a bite?

As someone who has had this cereal for breakfast several times now, I can say that it does indeed taste good. I can't tell a big difference between it and some other popular cereals on the market in terms of taste and texture, except for the unique sweetness which is apparently from more natural ingredients.

I'm going to try some although what I really want is a recipe for making my own wheat chex at home...

What a find! I got a box of the chocolate flavor at the Milk Pail Market a couple of days ago and I love it. I've been bringing it to work to snack on. I'm going to give the caramel flavor a try, too.
