Are these fresh or dried?

They are dried and they are very good. I use them in risotto a lot. Reconstitute very easily in hot water.

I thought they were going to be fresh because nothing in the description mentioned dried, but when I received they were DRIED.

I guess they're not super dry, but seem to be dry enough to preserve them. Drying further might deepen the color, which may not be as attractive, depending on what you're cooking. The big question for me would be how do they taste? Mine were pleasant, hot enough to burn awhile, but not hot enough to blow my face off. I like them and think they're pretty,.

I've ordered these several times and never got any dried ones. They are delicious. They do dry out slowly after being opened.

I do not know, as I have used up all the product. They were not stale. There was nothing wrong with the taste. Hope this helps.

mine had 2 years left when I got them. the date is on the label. if you get them on amazon the turnover is rapid so they have always been fresh

I had them a month before I used them. I actually used them for a Girl Scout event and didn't taste them. So, not sure if they were fresh. No one complained. Don't remember the expiration date but I did use it before the date.

not sure what you mean by 'rehydrated'; I would describe them as typical dried fruit.

They are dried mushrooms. They will last forever if you keep them dry. I've had some varietals for over two years now.

Unfortunately, I have no idea if they are raw or somewhat processed. The packaging does not say. To be safe, I would use these within a few weeks of receiving them and/or refrigerate them.

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.

They were fresh. Not sure if there was a best to use by date. I open the packs and put them in an airtight container and they stay fresh.

In my experience they are the most "unwashed" and freshest I have been able to find so far. There's not really a full proof method to check but usually the darker the water you wash them in, the better the seeds are.

I would call manufacturer. They are dried in a sealed package! Enjoy! Tasty let them moisturize in mouth before chewing and swollowing!

Yes they are raw unsalted. Recommendation is to refrigerate after opening also.

I ate them right out of the bag. They are dried. This was the cheapest I had found them and I am still kicking!

I thought they were fresh. I didn't really notice anything bad about them. I ate them all. lol
