how fresh are these can versus the ones found in stores?

As fresh as canned and sealed can be. The can I have presently is a 2018 expiration so that oughta tell you something, the exp. date is on the bottom of the can. My favorite flavor is the vanilla as it mixes well with any fruit or veggie I chose to blend with it.

I store mine in masons jars and have had them for weeks with no problem. Still fresh.

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.

My latest shipment, received Oct. 5th, shows "Best by AUG 2014". These are much fresher than any I've found in retail stores locally.

I have bought this product before and am ordering again. I have some can's that are 3 years old and they look, smell and taste perfect after 3 years. Mine is for long term storage so I don't open it often but now an then I check them out.. so far so good.. hope this helps someone..

I would agree with the other reviewer. When I ordered a case they remained fresh until they were gone. If you have a couple a day they'll be gone before it would be a concern.

Mine came from "Best Deal Supply" and, like "kenniget" said below, they were fresh and had a long expiration period. They came in a small plastic bag. There was no retail packaging.This is a superior price compared to the retail packaging and pricing.

Several, however, I buy freeze dried because they keep forever. Canned mushrooms spoil quickly once opened and fresh spoil even quicker. With freeze dried just grab some and throw them into what's cooking and put the lid back on till next time.

They last a pretty long time so I am not sure I understand the question. If kept in a dry location wrapped in plastic they stay fresh a long time.

They have a terrible shelf life. Recommended to consume soon after opening to retain texture, and they are not kidding. Tried to open a few and slowly eat out of them over a few weeks for variety and they made a big lump in the can, like fused and smelling funny. So, bonus, they aren't lying about how natural this is!

I can answer the last question: they seem very fresh to me. The taste and texture are excellent. These cashews are far superior to the cashews my health food store carries. And the ones in "bins" are just awful.

There is an expiration date on the back of the can.There is no way to know it when it's bought online.It should be ok but return it if it's not good.LauraLaura

Don't know. They were reasonably fresh when they arrived, but I'm a jelly bean freak and they didn't last long, and I threw the container away.

I am uncertain of the shelf life. We used one and did not open the other for at least two weeks and it was still 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.

Sorry, I don't have the cans anylonger as I already used them. The cans came in terrible shape because of the way they were shipped, someone just threw them around, but they are cans so they made it intact. Honestly, I wouldn't buy them again, I just go to the store (Smart & Final in the San Francisco Bay Area) and get the same thing for the same price

Mine were pretty plump, the vaccum packing puts wrinkles in them. They were not dried out and shriveled up. The best comparison I can think of is like the freshest raisin you've ever had, vs a dried up one in a box of cereal.
