Several (6 to be exact) recent reviews were one star for stale product, how can you assure you will be sending me totally fresh product ?

I am not sure. I purchased mine for using in a recipe not just for eating. I put mine in the freezer shortly after arriving so I am not sure how to tell if they are stale or not. They seemed good when I received them. Just for eating, I do prefer roasted nuts because it does bring out their flavor more.

I am not the seller..... I am a buyer who reviewed the product. However, having had the product, I can tell you that these are NOT stale. They are RAW. Raw meaning not cooked. Not cooked meaning soft. The nuts you buy at a grocery store are roasted, which makes them crispier, harder, whatever word you'd like to use. These are RAW, as described in the product name and description. But again, this is just a review, I am not the seller.

I've had raw cashews from the farmers market and I just got cashews from Spicy World. They seem stale. I will be returning them right away. Must be just these cashews, the raw almonds I got from Spicy World were super fresh.

Glenn, I have been, so far and Amazon guarantees there product sources/stores. I know its real because of the funny smell. As for its freshness, it doesnt come with a date. My guess is they are fairly fresh since they seem to move. Dunno, but I keep buying.

I was sent 2 boxes that were already 5 months expired. Not taking a chance with it, returning them both. Disappointing that AMAZON would send out expired product.

I know you can contact all vendors through Amazon, so if you have such questions, you can just email them and they will answer you. That part is never a problem. And as for this product, I use it every single day, so there is no chance it is going to go stale on me. Really good and healthy product to use. I put it on my steel-cut oats, every morning, raw, together with one spoonful of /chia seeds. Hope this helps you.

Boxes are marked "2015-04" (arrived 5/3/14) Have been buying them through Amazon for a couple of years, this is the freshest batch I've seen. Never got any that were expired.

That is a Good Question, but to tell you the truth, they couldn't be fresher. They taste like they were just produced and if you try these vs what is in the store you will know it hands down and that will no longer be your question. So Fresh, my husband kids me about putting 1 package in a box to send my buyers (I'm a seller on ebay and I give out thank you gifts and a few of these not just one to all my buyers) and then he says 2 for me. 1 For the buyer 2 for me. I think I have noticed too him snitching my bears in my inventory room where we have an exercise bike ;-? Yeah, 1 for the buyer, 2 for me and how many for him is the real question !

There's a date stamp on the box. This can be read as "install by date", fresh until date, or mfg. date. No matter what it meant to you, if there's a date listed, it meant freshness goes down from there.

There is no experation date any where on the box, but the product is fresh. I have had no issue at all.

Products made in mexico don't often provide that information, which is just one of the myriad reasons I avoid buying anything from that region whenever possible; I bought tajin by mistake (not investigating the country of origin). As I indicated in a prior review of tajin, the taste is already stale and dead-tasting. One can only assume those "qualities" will intensify with time. I dumped my entire bottle in the garden, hoping it would deter snails; so far, so good. I've resumed pepping up fruits and veggies using other quality items such as sprinkles of seasoned rice vinegar.

What they sent me had a current date. I hope that helps. If you get an expired date on any product, send it back.

I had bought 6 boxes in May 2013. It is stated that " Freshness and .....?..... is guarenteed through 02/15 LOT 000012" on the boxes.I doubt if the exp. date is February 2015 (which I want to believe) or 15th of February 2012 (which means I am cheated by the seller).

If you call and ask I'm sure they will tell you. Customer service was very helpful. Mine was always fresh

I believe so. I was about to place an order for a second box because first seemed very fresh, but based on your question and Stephanie's response have some concerns. Maybe the seller will respond as well.

It's highly likely that you're simply seeing an older photo on the web page, for illustration purposes. I'm about to order it without any concern whatsoever. If I'm entirely surprised by out-of-date product reaching my mail box, I know that Amazon will immediately either refund or replace. No problem. It's extremely unlikely that Bob's (or Amazon) changes the photo of the label on line every time a new batch of product comes off the production/packaging line.
