Summary: Good price. Good product. Not too grainy for whole grain
Comment: My family went to eating all whole grains several years ago while doing the South Beach diet. We gave up mac and cheese reluctantly and tried several "other" brands to satisfy the craving. None could compete. If you grew up on Kraft mac 'n' cheese with the bright yellow might-be-cheese sauce, you miss it. My daughter loves mac but would only get it at "Grandma's" house because I didn't keep it around much. I was excited to find out about this product, but only to find no local stores who carried it. Thank you, Amazon! It is well worth the price and tastes just like the original, just with a stronger wheat flavor. I felt the cheese sauce should be made a little stronger to compensate for the strong wheat flavor of the pasta. We don't mind the wheat taste, but some other people aren't as fond of it. If you don't care for the taste of whole wheat pasta, this probably isn't for you. We, however, will definitely reorder.

Summary: the kids love it
Comment: I am always looking for ways to add a little fiber to our diet. This does just have a little fiber, but it's a lot better than the other kraft mac and cheese products, with the same taste my kids love. They turned their noses up at the other brands of mac and cheese that have more fiber. They never notice any difference with this.

Summary: good choice for those trying to make the switch to whole wheat
Comment: Okay, first off...if you can't stand regular Kraft Mac-n-Cheese don't bother with this product. It's a LOT like regular Kraft MnC. It's been made with pasta with 50% whole grain. Okay, nice compromise there; the 100% whole wheat pastas can be a bit grainy tasting but we know we all need less white flour in our diets.

Now, you're discerning 5 year old will probably be able to tell the difference between this and regular Kraft MnC and if he or she is uber-picky about change, demands a certain brand, etc, well, then, this won't fool him. But my kids ate it up fine. The 9 year old barely noticed anything different (but she likes WW pastas), the 7 yo who normally doesn't like WW MnC ate it, although could tell it was WW. The 2.5 year old just kept shoveling it in with his bare hands; I guess that means he liked it.

So in a nutshell, this is a worthwhile product to try if you're kids like Kraft MnC. Same flavor as far as the sauce goes at least. Same shape of noodles. The fiber content for a serving of this is a respectable 5g, up from 1g for the tradtional stuff. Not bad.

Of note is the fact that this product has only 6oz in a box as opposed to the 7.25oz in the traditional MnC.

For comparison's sake, I usually buy the Hogson Mill 100% WW Mac-n-Cheese. I found this a bit milder tasting as far as wheaty-ness goes; makes sense as Kraft uses a blend and HM is 100% whole wheat. My picky eater will eat the Kraft but not the HM. Hope that helps those of you with similar customers to feed. I found the Kraft brand in my stores for a little less money than what it's being sold on Amazon for, but it might be hard to find in the stores for many people.
