This is a late review, but I've ordered both the spicy and mild varieties of this brand, they are delicious. I've had no problem with broken jars, etc. but given how AZ packs things, wouldn't be surprised if others did. Aside from packing, these have a nice crunch, great flavor, love them. Try one in a Bloody Mary, or do what I do, just munch right out of the jar. They are pricey, I'm sure they'd be cheaper in a store, but living in New England where no one has heard of okra, I'll take what I can get.
