Keith Eats Everything At Costco

Anyone who's ever visited Costco knows it's a grocery store with everything. Unfortunately, with so many choices in each aisle, it can be difficult to narrow down your shopping list.

Costco shoppers have found some popular items.

Raw Honey

On the upcoming episode of Keith Eats Everything At Costco, Christine visits the megastore to stock up on bulk supplies. She's amazed by its expansive space and vast selection of items that can be bought at a fraction of what grocery store prices. Furthermore, she's amazed by all the foods offered - from canned vegetables to bulk grains and dairy - all for an incredibly low cost.

Christine finds herself puzzled by a bottle of honey at the store that appears to be less than what it claims to be. It's an unidentified blend of Clover and Wildflower nectar with no identifiable varietal source and inaccurately labeled as "raw."

No matter its origin, this Honey is likely highly processed from the USA. To reduce crystallization risk over time and likely pasteurized, it has a mild flavor that's not overly sweet; however, it might not be the best tasting Honey available on the market.

When determining if honey is safe to eat, one of the most reliable methods is whether or not it contains pollen. If the honey doesn't contain pollen from multiple flowers, then it likely contains too much pollen for human consumption.

According to both the Food and Drug Administration and World Health Organization, it is best to avoid honey that doesn't come from a single farm or small cooperative of farms. A recent study revealed that 76% of samples tested weren't actually honey at all!

To combat this issue, some suppliers are ultra-filtering their honey. This process eliminates pollen from the liquid to disguise its origins.

This practice presents a major issue, as it allows cheap Chinese honey to enter the US market, dilute with high-fructose corn syrup and sweeteners, and tainted with chemicals and antibiotics that are illegal in this country.

Another way to ensure you're buying safe honey is by checking for a True Source Certified label. This voluntary system of traceability allows honey producers to choose whether or not they participate.

Though it may seem counterintuitive, the system ensures that honey is sourced from beekeepers who follow U.S. and international trade laws, making tracking the honey easier from farmer to consumer a huge benefit.

Bacon Crumbles

Bacon crumbles are an ideal way to add bacon flavor without cooking a whole strip. Sprinkle them on salads, stir them into mac and cheese recipes or even mix them into quiches for extra crunch!

They're an ideal option for those who want to make healthier versions of classic breakfast dishes, like eggs and potatoes. Though lower in fat than regular bacon, they still taste fantastic.

These Costco Kirkland Signature bacon bits stand out from other crumbles that use textured soy flour and canola oil, as they are made with real, 100% naturally smoked pork. The flavors are complex and smoky without being overly salty or fattening.

These bacon bits are some of my favorites that I've ever tried, and you can find them in any meat aisle. Not only that, but they're also an excellent way to add some flavor to other foods like pizza or pasta dishes.

These bacon crumbles are the ideal convenience item to have on hand. No need to open a large package - they stay fresh in your fridge for up to three weeks! Plus, it's an economical way to stock up on bacon for future meals.

Bacon is always a hit at Costco, but some customers are divided over its quality. Some customers have noticed that some slices are smaller or thicker than others in their packages - leading to complaints about inconsistent slices.

Some Costco supporters argue that the bacon isn't worth all the hype, while others insist it's a must-have item for every household. That may be true, but remember there are plenty of other options out there to meet your requirements.

Costco offers Kirkland Signature bacon for an excellent value at a delicious taste that is made with humanely raised pork. While bacon in general has its flaws, this product certainly does not lack for flavor or quality.

Bagels

Our family lives in a suburb outside Rochester, New York where our son Evan works with the Fire Department of New York (FDNY). When we visit him, one of the first things we always buy is an authentic New York bagel - we've tried several brands before finding Just Bagels and are now lifelong fans! We were absolutely delighted with the bagels - their quality and taste were outstanding! Perfect with your morning coffee, we will definitely be buying more in the future! Thank you so much for your excellent customer service; we will certainly recommend this brand to our friends. Our son is home at the end of April and we will miss him terribly when he leaves! Having Just Bagels together as a family will now become an annual tradition - thanks to Costco for carrying such great products! We look forward to seeing them on QVC soon!

Finally, Costco sells raw honey at an unbeatably reasonable price - a testament to their high quality product.
