Industrial Size Cans (No. 10)

Product of the USA !!! Most of the freeze dried strawberries you buy are from China and other countries. We try our best to buy from the USA and stay away from chemical spray on our food. Taste great and cheaper to buy then to freeze dry yourself. Excellent product.

This can of goodness is fantastic add to any dish. You can eat them right out of the can for a mouth watering tangy strawberry, no added sugar. I add them to jello, pies, cooked oatmeal, and any breakfast cereal. Big nutrition value for any season. Great for long and short term food storage. Fantastic price and reusable #10 can.

These are fantastic, right out of the can! The smell of ripe strawberries when you open the can is intoxicating, they are beautiful, red and ripe. They have a nice crunch, when that is what you are craving, but soften up nicely for making syrups, muffins, cobblers, etc. Every time they go on sale, I buy 4 of them; they are great for healthy snacking, and if you put them in the blender, you can add the powder to baked goods or buttercream icing for incredible flavour and gorgeous colour. Try these for the kiddos as snacks - so much healthier than most things at the supermarket. Yes, I get them for long term emergency storage, but they do get opened and used more often than not! Be sure to seal them up tightly, as freeze dried food absorbs moisture easily, especially if it is humid. Happy Snacking!

First, and most important, the weight of the strawberries I received was 6.6 oz., a little more than the specified weight. So, I got what I paid for. By the way, the unopened can weighs 16.7 oz. By itself, the can and lid weighs 10.1 oz. So, in the future, I can tell whether I got the correct 6.4 oz. without having to open the can. And the can was nearly full, surprising me. About 5" of the 7" tall can, or 71%, was full of berries. Second is the number of servings. Following the printed statement on the can label, I measured out 10 grams, or 1/2 cup, of berries that was supposed to equal one serving. 10 grams did equal 1/2 cup. I actually got 18 servings from the 6.6 ounces of berries. But the last cup full had a fair amount of powder in it. Third, the quality. The berries tasted good. Both dry and rehydrated, they had a reasonably sweet taste, just a little tart as you might expect from strawberries. The main difference is that when dry, they are very crunchy. When rehydrated, they are squishy. They do not have the firmness of fresh berries. But that should be expected. As for their appearance, they are shriveled as expected, but they were good-sized even when dry (see pictures). The coloring was the expected "reddish" color of strawberries. Finally, I rehydrated some, following the directions on the label, putting some warm water over a handful of dried berries. I left them in the water for about 15 minutes to make sure they were rehydrated as much as possible. One thing I noticed was that only about 1/4 of the 1 cup of water was absorbed. Next is the cost. These berries cost $22.44 (on sale) or $3.5/ounce. At the retail price of $33.99, the price per ounce would be $5.31. But if we assume that the 6.4 ounces of berries were roughly equivalent to, let's say, 4.5 pints, then the cost per pint is $4.99/pint, or $7.55/pint at the regular price. By the way, the sale price went up nearly $4 the next day. So, we pay the extra cost for the benefit of being able to store the strawberries for an extended period of time - for emergencies. And I would buy these again for such a contingency. (Now that I've opened the can, I will need to eat them in the next few months.) But I would NOT buy these for regular or daily use if I had access to dried berries at the grocery store. PS: Some people think that because they get a large can, they should get it full of berries. But the picture clearly shows that the net weight is 6.4 oz. (or is supposed to be). I'm not sure why they chose 6.4 oz., but a check of two other vendors shows that they also put only 5.6 and 7 ounces of berries in their containers. Yes, Augason could put more berries in the can, but they would charge more for the berries. There is a cost associated with the production - the more berries, the higher the cost. The #10 can is a standard sized can used not only by Augason, but also other manufacturers who sell long-shelf-life food products. Using one size can is cheaper than having many different size cans. I have #10 cans with products weighing 2+ pounds. But 6.5 ounces fill most of the can. If someone got only 1/2 of a can full, then they might question the amount. But you have to go by weight, not apparent volume.

I love strawberries. I dont eat candy, this is me candy. I usually buy freeze dried strawberries from big warehouse stores. I spend to much on small packages. Then I tried this product. They came in beautiful slices not broken up peices. They are good alone, in yogurt or on ice cream. Just the right amount of sweetness and a little bit of tartness here and there. Will be purchasing again. Price is good for what you get.

Yummy in my tummy. I go these on sale and they are very good. Will buy them again.

Delicious! Because there's no sugar added, we don't like snacking on them straight out of the can, but they're a great add-in to oatmeal! I also use them in this recipe: STRAWBERRY BANANA BREAD Wet ingredients: ½ C softened unsalted butter creamed together with 1 C sugar, then add 2 eggs. Mash 3 ripe bananas and stir them in. Dry ingredients: Mix 2 C flour with 1 tsp baking soda and ½ tsp salt. Stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture. Take 1 ½ C reconstituted freeze dried strawberries (follow directions to soak them, first, before you add them). Add 1-2 Tbl flour to the strawberries and mix them before you add them to the batter. Divide into 2 loaf pans (greased) and bake at 375F for 15 min. Then reduce heat to 350F for another 30 min or until done.

They taste great! Awesome alternative to so many snacks that are bad for me. They are very sweet and perfectly crunchy. I divided them up into snack bags so I don’t eat them all in one sitting. There was even more than in the picture because I ate them as I was dividing them up lol. I put the strawberry dust at the bottom into my lemonade 👌🏻
