The Store-Bought Canned Biscuit Brand With A Metallic Taste You Want To Avoid - Tasting Table
Briefly

Great Value Regular Biscuits produced a pronounced metallic, bitter, and tinny flavor that overwhelmed yeasty and buttery biscuit notes. The interior texture was dense and doughy, contributing to bland, unsatisfying biscuits. Cooking according to the package produced inconsistent outcomes, with biscuit tops risking hardening and scorching instead of remaining tall and fluffy. Great Value is Walmart's low-cost private-label option, cheaper than name brands and other private labels, but low price did not compensate for poor taste and texture. Negative customer reviews on Walmart's website describe misshapen, flat, dry, and tasteless results from these biscuits.
A fluffy buttermilk biscuit is a thing of beauty, especially since it's a notoriously finicky recipe to perfect. That's where store-bought canned biscuits come in. The pre-made and pre-cut dough can be popped into the oven at a moments' notice, yielding consistently delicious results. Not all canned biscuit brands are created equally, however, and we found one in particular that you'll want to avoid. In our ranking of 11 canned biscuit brands, we found Great Value's Regular Biscuits to be by far the worst.
Great Value is Walmart's store brand and is one of the cheapest options, not just compared to name brands, but also other private labels. However, a low price and easy accessibility isn't enough to compensate for the off-putting taste and texture of these particular biscuits. Despite its cardboard packaging, Great Value's biscuits somehow had a metallic taste that overwhelmed any other yeasty or buttery flavors that biscuits are usually known for.
