I had a coupon to get some Ragu Organic pasta sauce. I bought two
jars. I'm afraid to open them. Are they any good? (I haven't tried Ragu in > 10 years because I never liked it). I'm thinking of just returning them. Meph |

Usually, the flavor of organic products is indistinguishable from the regular version. What's the worst that can happen? You won't like it? |

Besides which you can always goose it up...add a can of tomatoes, fresh garlic, veg, olio, herbs, etc. You could also use it as pizza sauce in a pinch... I buy the cheapo bottled sauces on sale (sometimes a jar is 89 cents) and do this, it turns out pretty okay...I might not serve it to company (I'll make my own from scratch), but it's fine for me. The OP is wasting his time returning the jars, it would probably take more in time and effort to return two jars of Ragu than the sauce is worth... -- Best Greg. |

There must have been some appeal to cause the OP to buy it in the first place - perhaps that "organic" label. Why be afraid to open a jar of sauce and use it? Hell, if you don't like it you know not to buy it again. If it's just okay, spice it up with your own extras and learn a lesson. Jill |

Well, I bought them because the coupon made them really cheap, but then
I recalled that icky taste I got in my mouth in the past, and became afraid. Anyway, I suppose in the organic version they don't put icky stuff in it, so it might be fine. |

Each time it has been so sweet it made us want to gag. The organic version may not have pesticide residue, but check the ingredients list for corn syrup. -aem |
