TAZAH California Style Turkish Grape Leaves in Jar – Vegan & Vegetarian – Perfect for Dolmas (Stuffed Grape Leaves) – Tender & Delicious – Net 32oz (Drained 16oz)

UPDATED REVIEW,We have continued to order these leaves. Unfortunately the last jar of leaves were very tough and veiny. Even after simmering for 45 minutes they did not soften to our liking. I'm hesitant to order another large jar.Purchased our first jar after realizing our local grocery stores no longer carry grape leaves. We were a bit hesitant to order such a large glass jar knowing it could break during shipping. It arrived in perfect condition! Leaves are not difficult to remove from the jar. They are wrapped in 4 sections, so you do not need to remove all the leaves at once. Separating the leaves is quite a bit of a struggle due to them being so tender. They can rip quite easily so much patience is required! I rolled ours with ground beef, rice & tomatoes! 2 sections of the jar was enough to fill just over 1 lb of ground beef. I slow simmered the stuffed leaves in a pot for 45 minutes. They turned out absolutely amazing! The most tender and delicious dolmades we have ever had.We turned right around and ordered a second jar to have on hand. This time the jar leaked during shipping. A good bit of the juice had leaked out but not all. We contacted the company to ask if they were safe to use. We got a very quick response (kudos to great customer service)! They responded that they were safe due to preservatives and the fact that the leaves are mostly cooked before packaging. However they insisted on refunding our purchase even though we told them it was not necessary. We ordered a 3rd jar, and it was delivered in perfect condition. We will continue to order this brand!
