I like the olive oil. FYI: I recently learned on a cooking show that using the virgin olive oil to saute is not only wasteful, but doesn't taste as good as the regular olive oil. Apparently the virgin oil gets bitter when fried. So, best to buy a bottle of Whole Foods 365 extra-virgin oil for salad dressing and a bottle of Whole Foods 365 regular for sauteeing.

Definitely the 365 Organic Coconut Milk. It is the best value (price and quality) I have been able to find. Since we don't consume dairy, coconut milk is a versatile staple in our household, but I love it most for baking (makes an awesome pumpkin pie or pumpkin bread!) and for adding creaminess to soups. I recently used it to make a Tomato Thai Soup and one of my favorites is a roasted eggplant soup (from Go Dairy Free) which calls for 1 cup of whole coconut milk. Finally, it does make a nice whipped coconut cream!

Hi WF,
Our favorite 365 Everday product is the Vegetable Broth. We are a vegan household and this product acts the extra flavor that we love to our vegan dishes: soups, stews, stir-frys. It is a staple for the holidays!
Thank you,

My favorite 365 Everyday Value brand is the breakfast bars. I eat them for breakfast almost every day.

I have to say I have loved every 365 product I have tried and if an item I need has a 365 version I buy it! I guess my fave is the 365 organic fat free milk.It is more rich and flavorful than any other brand I have tried.

My favorite 365 value brand is the gallon of Spring Water. My husband and I have tested about 15 different brands and types of water - (distilled/reverse osmosis) looking for the most ph balanced water. 365 Spring water was the only brand to be alkaline. Plus it's great tasting and the price is great buying it in a case quantity.

My favorite and most-used 365 product has to be the Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which I use pretty much daily (great product naming!). Combine it with balsamic vinegar, toss with asparagus and throw it on the grill...wonderful!

365 ketchup! The kids couldn't live without it.

Garbonzo beans? Chickpeas? Ceci? Whatever you call them, the best 365 Everyday Value product in my kitchen is the can of garbonzo beans. I add them to dishes several times a week. The 365 version is firm and not been-in-the-can-too-long mushy. The beans were the first 365 branded product I bought, though not the last.

My favorite value is water crackers. This item is much more expensive at other stores and goes well with so many things. I always pick up a box when I'm at Whole Foods

My favorite 365 product is the gluten free mixes. I use at least one or two of them a week.

We very much enjoy the Tongol Tuna. It is absolutely delicious. My son enjoys it plain and I enjoy mine mixed with olives, celery, mayonnaise, and sometimes onion. We then plunk it on a delicious bed of rice for a very satisfying supper. What a tasty to add a seafood meal!

Vegan cane sugar! I use it to make the yummiest mojitos on the planet. And thank you for that! ;0)

We all know that mac 'n cheese is THE frugal food. But who wants to eat fake cheese and chemicals? Not me! I say 365 makes some awesome and reliable macaroni and cheese that will satisfy any palate and need for some cheap comfort food in a wholesome and nutritious way!
Yea 365!

My Favorite 365 Everyday Value Product is the Tomato and Basil tomato Sauce.
It can be used for pasta, just as a sauce or on pizza, or even as a base for Chili.

I buy a lot of 365 Everyday Value items, but one I'm never without is the expeller pressed canola oil. The value is above the other markets and the price is excellent, too.
I find all of the 365 Everyday Value items very good, and equivalent to the "name brands."

The 365 Butter Crackers. Absolute favorite. Blows ritz out of the water.
Also the Greek Olive Oil and the Apricot Jam.

My favorite 365 Everyday Value product is the crunchy or creamy peanut butter because it is all natural with no added sugar. I eat it for breakfast with oatmeal or for snacks with apples and cinnamon! Yum.

I've tried many, but the most memorable is the olive oil only because the price was amazing(unfortunately it has gone up over the years)and it's so good for so many things!

I take Whole Foods Tangerine Lip Balm everywhere I go. I have some suck in almost every bag I own.

I love the 365 body lotion (lavender). I use it every day after my shower.
