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 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

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.

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.

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

They are as advertised. They come with a 5 years shelf life. Other than that, I don't know what you mean by "are they new".

I have had mine longer than that and I don't notice that they are stale or 'bad'. I'm thinking b/c they are freeze-dried, they will last forever.

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.

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'm not sure why Amazon asked me to answer this question for you. Maybe they think I'm a Drakes CC expert. From experience, I can tell you that if you're not buying them directly from a supermarket, they will never be as fresh. But, in the few years I've been ordering, only once did I get a box that was stale. Yes, I ate them anyway. Good luck.

I keep the cans organized by what they are and usually don't buy that product until I get down to 1 or 2 cans left. When I restock I simply take out the cans that are there, put in the new supply and replace the older. It really only takes a few seconds and is well worth not ending up with outdated food supplies.

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

You cannot tell if it is fresh or the amount of time it has been on the shelf. That has been a concern of mine too. The cleanser was great, however the moisturizers I also ordered were extra thick and didn't quite seem as fresh. The price is good, but you likely will likely compromise full quality.

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.

Hard to tell how fresh they are since dried apricots are never the same as fresh apricots. However, I like them more than most dried apricots because of the soft center that adds more flavor than California dried apricots. They taste fresh...not stale...if that helps.

Hi Jen, I've had them for quite some time, keep in the fridge, they are still good. I love them.

I still have some left over from last year in an air tight container and they're still as fresh as the day I bought them, still crunchy. So it depends on how and where you store them. They are composed entirely of sugar which is effected by moisture and air. So its up to you on the shelf life. Put them in an open bowl in an even remotely moist environment and they wont last a week. Unless you like them without the crunch and soft.
