EDEMAME BEANS - UNPLALATABLE (FROZEN/UNFROZEN AND REFROZEN?? )

I had been eating Natures Garden frozen Edemame beans for over a year. they are not always easy to find and I happened to be in Linden in November when I found some at the Linden Kwikspar. I purchased three bags with absolute joy & excitement. They were expensive but since the opportunity of accessing them was available I took three bags. When I finally opened the first one on Saturday night 25.11.23 to have for dinner, I was shocked to find that they are a yellow colour. (FROZEN/UNFROZEN AND REFROZEN?? ) I tried cooking a few but they were unpalatable when I ate them, I cook them (always have) using fresh garlic, fresh lemon juice and a herb seasoning. Even adding more of my mixture could not mask the dreadful taste. I have taken photographs of all the bags with the bar codes/ batch numbers and the date (marked to be used by 2024) Further to this, plus the store cash register receipt. I am a tutor and I live in Rosebank and I have precious little time. I am not prepared to drive all the way back to Linden. Kwikspar’s prices per bag are almost twenty rand higher than any other store. I hope to get a solution from Kwikspar given that they boast that all products are fresh on their website. I purchased a lot of items which were all perfect. Furthermore, I did write to Natures Garden to tell them about my experience. I provided all the information including bar codes and mf/use by dates with photographic evidence. They offered me a voucher and told me that they no longer manufacture the product. I originally reported this on 27.11.23. A month ago. Diane Allen
