(ENDED) Organic or Bust Giveaway #12 - Cedar's Mediterranean Foods Review & Giveaway (Ends 10/31)

Today is the LAST day of the Organic or Bust Event! Expect some great reviews and giveaways to finish off this amazing event! To start off the morning, I have a HUGE review and giveaway sponsored by Cedar's Mediterranean Foods, the first Mediterranean Foods manufacturer to self distribute Mediterranean Foods to consumers in the United States!

Cedar's Mediterranean Foods

ABOUT CEDAR'S

Cedar’s Mediterranean Foods, Inc. was established in 1981 and has been a leader in the Mediterranean food industry for over 25 years. Its authenticity and expertise has allowed the company to nationally expand and flourish. As one of the only major hommus manufacturers still privately owned, Cedar’s continually introduces new products and flavor profiles to help keep the industry fresh and consumers satisfied. Throughout its success, Cedar’s has focused on promoting healthy lifestyles through great tasting Mediterranean food

Cedar’s Mediterranean Foods, Inc. has been awarded the 2008 and 2009 American Masters of Taste “GOLD Superior Taste” Awards for its high quality products!

PRODUCT REVIEW

During my graduate school years I had a group of friends that were from Cyprus, a small country near Greece. They would always cook Mediterranean food in the dorm and you could smell it throughout the 4 floors. I loved it and began eating with them almost every other day or so. The food was always so full of flavor and healthy too. After we moved away from one another, I continued to eat their Mediterranean food and still do today!

Cedar's Mediterranean Foods has an amazing variety of Mediterranean products such as hommus, fresh salads, salsa, wraps, pita chips, and tzatziki. There isn't a product in this group that won't make your mouth water. In fact, each of these items go great together or alone...that's one of my favorite things about Mediterranean food! We received coupons for several of the products and have tried most of them. Our favorite out of all of the products were the Garlic Lovers Organic Hommus paired with the All Natural Sesame Pita Chips.

Cedar's

We make our own Hommus and we thought it was pretty good. Boy were we wrong...ha. We've been making it for over a year now and I'm sad to say that it didn't even come close to the smooth flavor or just perfect texture of the Cedar's Garlic Lovers Organc Hommus. Guess we'll just have to start buying this instead of making our own...I don't think I'd mind too much. =-)

If you're new to Mediterranean cuisine, don't fear! Cedar's has you covered. They have some amazing recipes that will start you out just right! The recipes will make you want to eat Mediterranean foods on a weekly (if not) daily basis. We tried the Cedar's Greek Wraps recipe and it blew us away! We spiced it up with a few of our favorite vegetables and we used the Naturally Delicious cucumber & garlic Tzatziki.

Cedar's

When I went shopping for Cedar's Mediterranean Foods, I found them at the nearest Whole Foods Market. I suggest you call around to your local stores instead of wasting gas, but it's up to you! They now have Cedar's Hommus at BJ's Wholesale Clubs! Or, you can purchase their products online! Join me and explore the taste of the Mediterranean with Cedar’s Mediterranean Foods. Eat it. Share it. Live it. Love it.

While you're at it, download and print out two of their available coupons:
