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.

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 have no idea, but would suspect they are fresh because they tend to sell out fast. I've recently realized what a great value dried fruits are from this company since I've begun to dehydrate my own fruit. A half a bushel of pears dehydrates down to almost a half gallon jar of fruit.

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!

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.

They last a very long time in an airtight container and don't need to be refrigerated or frozen. We have some from before June and they are still fresh.

Mine are perfectly dried -- not completely dessicated and stale like the ones you can find in the local stores. Dry but still pliable, which is exactly how they're supposed to be. And they are quite spicy, which is what I wanted. I ordered mine from Swang-Anong, so perhaps the seller is the difference.

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.

The can is sealed, therefore there is no way for me to tell you for sure. But I think they are just clear packets.

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!

I would think so as long as they have been kept in a dry place I've had mine for over 2 years I've kept them in mason jars though so I can see any decay and they seem to be fine and still taste fresh. I think because they are dried they have a substantial shelf life

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

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....

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

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.

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.
