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.

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

They come in sealed pods. I dont refrigerate them and have never noticed anything less than a fresh taste

Each layer of the tin is separately wrapped to keep fresh. I had no problem with staleness.

I discovered some that I left in the freezer that were over 4 years old. They still taste great. I keep all of this kind of stuff in the freezer because it always tastes fresher, and extends the shelf life by double or triple what is printed on the package.

I have had these under refrigeration for about three weeks and they remain fresh.

Stores 3 - 5 years unopened #10 can (w/oxygen absorber) in cool, dry place. Once opened, average shelf life of 6 - 12 months

I've had some for years and they still impart flavor. Some more than others. Keep them dry in the tins they come in.

I keep these nuts in a tupperware container so I no longer have the original packaging for the expiration date. However, I have ordered these nuts before and they have been fresh for months when kept in the sealed container.

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.

I still have 1 bag un-opened and the others in a zip lock baggie. The ones in the zip lock bag still have the freshness, smell and taste since I received them.

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

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.

Most dried ones are preserved with some chemical that's not really harmful. They smell and taste much better than fresh ones.

I think the grocer would be able to best answer. I have been ordering for a while but only shipping to the east coast. They have always arrived fresh and stayed well in the refrigerator until they are used. Good luck!

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!

Yes, there are expiration dates on the cans. They have a pretty decent shelf life, but when in the store, I usually inspect the cans to find the longest expiration date....
