Why when I received my order, were the beans extremely wet and tasted pickled?

The package that I received looked just like the photo and did not seem pickled or wet. I used them to make extract and for flavoring in home made wine. Return product that does not meet item description.

Really mine didn't taste pickled at all. The beans smelled and tasted fabulous. They were very moist fresh I wouldn't say wet. Sorry to hear that. My beans made great vanilla extract

i personally would not use them ,but ask for a refund .They should not be like that what so ever . they should feel smooth not wet, and have a lovely vanilla smell . nothing else !

They do never dry, preserve, or pickle their beans. My beans were shipped in their natural state.

I don't have a bag with me at the moment as I transfer my beans to airtight containers as soon as I receive them. From what I remember the roast date is printed at the top of the bag and it was within less than a month of my receipt of them, not sure if it was less than 2 weeks but I remember saying, "Oh, these are fresh"

No, they were raw. Very hight quality. You can roast them or use them in stir fries etc. About 30% less than grocery brands and much higher quality

They are not raw if they are pasteurized. So Amazon needs to be clear on this and not state they are raw or someone should sue them.

I've eaten them and no longer have the bag oh course. As I recall they are dry roasted - no oil and I don't believe any salt either.

What I received was a cellephane sack of gnarly looking shitake mushrooms--and I mean this in the best possible way. If they'd been processed in anyway beyond being plucked, dried, and stuffed in the bag I'd be surprised. The only concern I'd have is what the soil conditions had been; and I again, I don't know. We've used them in multiple dishes and they're great tasting!

I agree with everyone else. Have ordered it online And bought at Trader Joe's and never had a fishy taste. Maybe take it back, and/or try it again and give it another shot. It's worth it!

I'm pretty sure my first (and last) order I selected 'ground' but ended up getting whole bean anyway. I may have misclicked something... or not. In the end I resorted to purchase an inexpensive bean grinder from Walmart.

Unfortunately my beans also arrived as you described. Although they were listed as olive nation I believe they were distributed by JR Mushroom. I will not buy these again.

It probably got cold during shipping. Warm it up under hot tap water and see if it clears up. Jojoba oil solidifies at cold temperatures. Throw it in the fridge and you'll see what i mean.

Mine were not dehydrated but they were brown. Are they a little slimy? Then likely they were in brown sugar solution to ship. I have been so happy with my grains- and have found that they do especially well in brown sugar/spring water/molasses solution as suggested by the sender's recipe. (Did you get it with the grains?)

The bag I received was whole beans. It says in the product heading "ground" or "bean",.

Hi there they taste like a tangy cucumber if that makes any sense. But just to let you know I ordered from here and none sprouted idk if the seeds were old or what it was but nothing grew if you do buy from this seller I just hope you have a different outcome than I did. Good luck!!! They're delicious in salads!

I've never experienced that before! :-o That sounds disgusting! I've ordered it online and bought it from Traders here in CO and fortunately did not have that experience! So sorry, AG!!

I did not receive beans or peas either. Sorry, I don't know how the seed types are decided. So far though, every seed has sprouted. I created a second set now of other greens etc

Hello, I was not able to replicate the issue you experienced. As long as your order contains only vanilla beans, we will honor free ground shipping inside the US.

I'm sorry, I don't remember! I finished off the bag awhile back. My best guess is, they were raw -- they weren't salted and in no way tasted roasted or baked or processed in any way. Since they're advertised as "Ruth's Raw Goodness," they're probably raw.
