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.

Sorry you don't like them this fresh. That's why they're so moist. We're all conditioned to expect the store bought variety that's treated with preservatives. That's to extend shelf life. Fine if you like it. I preferred to get used to these beauties. My only suggestion would be to dry them in the oven on a cookie sheet at about 200 degrees. Check them every 10 minutes until they reach your desired level of dryness.Good luck!

they are dried, like raisins, so I don't see how they can go bad if kept in an air-tight container; if ordering bulk, put them into mason jars and they will prob. last forever. awesome berries, addictive flavor and tiny crunchy seeds; it is actually not a berry but a specific variety of tomato similar to tomatilla.

They are dried and sealed... I have kept them in the bag sealed for a year without spoiling.... Once opened I keep on the shelf in the pantry - a dark cool place in a dry climate. If you have concerns put them in the fridg...

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

They are hermetically-type sealed, I think, and pasteurized.... if I am not mistaken.So they have a very long shelf life! But once they are opened, they behave like fresh tomatoes.Because they have no preservatives.That at least was my understanding when I was introduced to the product in Italy.

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

I would wait. They would probably stay fresh, if they remained unopened but I would suggest ordering them around the end of August/beginning of September. I hope this helps :)

They arrived fresh in a small container. I used some on the spot and the others I dried myself.

Yes, they were fresh. I liked them but they are very sticky. I tried both the fruit & nut and the coconut ones.

I just opened a jar I purchased over 2 years ago (each 54 fl oz jar lasts a long time), and it still tastes (and looks) just as fresh as the first jar I bought and opened (I'm on my 3rd jar). I also have a fourth 54 fl oz jar I keep at work. It's been open for a year and is still good. From what I've read about coconut oil, it does not go rancid.

My husband and I have used several bags of these, and they always seem to be fresh till the end. We have two shakes a day with these in them, so we go through them pretty fast. I am not sure about the freezing.

I'm not an expert in this field, but I do know they will last a couple months. Do not buy any that are close to going out of date. I did from Walmart and they were crispy and broke into a hundred tiny pieces when I opened the package. The one I got from this company, I held for well over a month before I used it. It was still fresh.

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

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

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.
