Onions are my dearest friends.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve been reading my reviews, you probably already know that I’m a fan of the Greenwise<\/a> line of products from Publix. Some of the products are organic, and some are just a wee bit more “natural.” These bagels are the latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(My favorite Greenwise product of all time is their “Bake-at-Home Organic Sourdough Bread<\/a>.” Here’s my review, if you’re curious.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Not exactly “bakery fresh”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The bagels come in a 4-pack, and at my store, they seem<\/em> to be “previously frozen” with cold, watery condensation on the bag when I buy them. They’re nowhere near as fresh-tasting as true bagel-shop bagel. A little<\/em> flabby right out of the bag. (Just trying to manage expectations. You know.)<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Bread<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Texture & size<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But, for the money, I’m usually pretty happy. They have a soft, but substantial texture (protein, babyyy!). And a flexible exterior (not excessively crusty or chewy like some brands). And they’re not huge<\/em>. Three ounces. They’re the kind of bagel you might eat with a side of sausage or an egg. Or turn into a bagel sandwich.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Toasting the bagels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because they lack a freshly baked taste, I ALWAYS toast mine. This brings them back to life and makes them taste new again. (I wish someone would toast ME. Alas<\/em>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I prefer to pan toast my bagels in a little butter. This is a ceramic skillet. Melt a tablespoon of butter in the pan, and put the bagels face-side-down. That’s it. It takes about 5 minutes on medium-low heat to get the bagel lightly crisp. I love how the butter soaks into the bread. It’s worth the extra pan to wash.<\/p>\n\n\n

Serving the bagels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I also like these served with thick<\/em> Greek yogurt spread on top. Yes, you heard me: I like Greek yogurt, in lieu of cream cheese. Obviously, you need to use a very<\/em> concentrated, high-fat yogurt for this to work! This is Fage 5%, which is like a whipped, light cream cheese texture (and vaguely similar flavor). More protein and probiotics this way. I also sprinkled some “Everything Bagel” seasoning from Aldi over the yogurt, which gives it some zesty crunch.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

\n

Poppyseeds, too<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of zesty crunch: these are the “Onion” flavored bagels. But Publix should really call them “Onion and Poppyseed.” The outside has a light sprinkle of small, crunchy poppy seeds as a garnish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The onion flavor is pleasantly rich, without feeling obnoxious. (Whereas I<\/em> am just obnoxious, without being rich.) It tastes like caramelized or roasted onions — somewhat mellowed, and with a well-developed flavor profile. I like it. But onions are my dearest friends. How can you go wrong with onions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(If you’re looking for another “seedy” bread, here’s my review of Aldi’s Power Grains Sourdough Rolls<\/a>.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Four<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

If you don’t<\/em> like onion flavor, there are at least 5 other bagel flavor options. You monster. More about that later.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(One of the few onion-flavored foods I didn’t especially love were these Onion & Cheese Pinwheels from Costco<\/a>. Here’s my salty review.)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"Ingredients<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I’m willing to hazard almost<\/em> everyone buys these bagels for the “cleaner” ingredient list, rather than strictly<\/em> for the taste. Here’s my best attempt at typing out the ingredients, from the label:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
