The first thing of theirs that I ever tried was their shredded coconut.
I was first impressed by the size of the package that came (and how hard it was to get open, so I knew it was fresh!). It replaced all the coconut that I used for cooking, and of course, this is one of tropical traditions' signature items. Indeed, it was nice to have organic coconut that was not sweetened (like we normally get in the store). It has become something I use on a regular basis, and I doubt I will ever use the cheap stuff in the store again.
The next thing I had the privilege to try was their organic whole golden flaxseed.
I had never tasted flaxseed before, but I tell you, I am hooked! At least on their flaxseed. I made the mistake of getting some recently that was not made by them, and I have to admit that I regret it. I was happy to add their flaxseed to my cereal, my yogurt, and even my toast in the morning. The flavor and crunch that their flaxseed provides (besides the health benefits) is definitely worth it!
The third item I won from them was their Canadian Raw Honey.
This item is a favorite of mine and my Mom's. It is a cream honey, and the flavor is absolutely extraordinary. It is the only honey I will use. I'm sure I will have to order some more some time soon.
Those are the only three items I have won that I have actually had a chance to use, but there were items that I really wanted to try that I never saw in a giveaway--or at least, I hadn't won! I had signed up for their e-mails long ago, but I had yet to order from them.
As I was reading various blogs last weekend, I was pleased to find a free shipping deal from them. I figured that I was tired of waiting, and it was time to place my first real order. So I did. The best part was that they accept paypal, and I was able to pay for half of my order with my paypal balance.
So what did I order?
I have not tried the vanilla yet, but the other items are fantastic! The chocolate has the be the best dark chocolate I have ever tasted! And as for the coconut peanut butter, once you make sure it is stirred, it is pretty fantastic! And it is healthier than most peanut butters out there.
So what is my verdict? Well, I will say that Tropical Traditions is a fantastic company that offers a great variety of organic, environmentally responsible company. Yes, you will pay a little bit more, but I have to say that it felt good to be sending my money their way. I wish more companies would take this company's lead!

I have never heard of coconut peanut butter.
