Blueberry Bliss in a Can! 🍇✨If you had told me a month ago that I’d be this emotionally attached to a #10 can of freeze-dried blueberries, I would’ve laughed… but here we are.First off, Augason Farms wasn’t kidding when they said 26 servings. I opened the can expecting maybe a sad half-full surprise (looking at you, potato chip bags), but nope—this thing is packed like it’s prepping for the blueberry apocalypse. The smell hits you instantly—like summer at a farmers market, but without the wasps.I bought these for “emergency food storage,” but I made the rookie mistake of trying “just one” to see what they tasted like. Big mistake. Huge. Now I’m using them in oatmeal, trail mix, muffins, pancakes… and yes, I ate a handful straight from the can while hiding from my family so I wouldn’t have to share.The texture is satisfyingly crisp, and if you add a splash of water, they magically rehydrate into juicy little gems. I swear they come back to life faster than my houseplants after a rainstorm.Also, they have a shelf life so long that my future grandchildren could theoretically inherit them. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, I’ll be the weirdo bartering blueberries while everyone else is crying over canned beans.Bottom line: these are delicious, versatile, and dangerously addictive. If you’re looking for a healthy snack, an emergency stash, or a reason to pretend you’re a pioneer surviving the wilds of your living room, this is your can.Warning: You might “accidentally” open them way before any actual emergency.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — Would survive the apocalypse with again.

Perfect for my use. Packed with flavor and color!

Nice product, mostly air though

Update 6-14-2021 - I had opened the can about 3.5 months ago to do the tests described below. Since then I have been putting them on my cereal occasionally. I had seen in others reviews and the Q&A section that the berries could last up to a year after opening. However, I noticed that by 3 months, the remaining berries, about a 1/4 of the berries, were sticking together and felt slightly gummy. I suspect moisture was getting into the can whenever I opened it. The berries don’t seem to have spoiled, but I doubt the remaining ones would be good several months from now. An identical situation occurred with a can of strawberries. They are no longer crisp as they were when new. In my opinion, these freeze-dried berries need to be consumed within a couple of months of opening.First, and most important, the weight of the blueberries I received was 12.1 oz, just a hair over the specified weight. So, I got what I paid for. By the way, the unopened can weighs 21 oz. By itself, the can and lid weighs 8.9 oz. So, in the future, I can tell whether I got the correct 12 oz. without having to open the can.And the can was nearly full, surprising me. About 5.5" of the 7" tall can, or 78%, was full of berries.Second is the number of servings. Following the printed statement on the can label, I measured out 13 grams, or 1/2 cup, of berries that was supposed to equal one serving. 13 grams did equal 1/2 cup. I actually got 25-1/3 servings from the 12.1 ounces of berries. So, the difference in the 2/3 "missing" serving could be due to one or two extra berries in many of the other cups full. I won't quibble over the slight "shortage," especially since I got the specified 12 ounces.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 blueberries. The taste was slightly different from some fresh blueberries I have. 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 "blue" color of blueberries. Some had white areas on them, but when I loooked closely, these were where the outer skin and peeled off. I don't think there is anything wrong with them.Finally, I rehydrated some, following the directions on the label (1/2 cup of berries in 1 cup of warm water). 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. There was about 3/4 cup of blueberry water left over.In the Q&A section, one person estimated that the rehydrated berries would be equal to 6.5 pints (2 cups to a pint - 26 servings/4 = 6.5). The rehydrated berries were actually about the same 1/2 cup in volume as the dried berries. Four 1/2 cups of the rehydrated berries would probably be almost a pint in volume. In terms of numbers of berries, you might get about the similar numbers. I counted 36 fresh berries into a 1/2 cup and 45 dry berries into the same 1/2 cup. The rehydrated berries weighed about 2 oz while a matching 1/2 cup of fresh berries weighed 2.5 oz.Rehydration is not required. They can be eaten straight from the can - if you have a taste for blueberries. I would add them to my cereal, where I have blueberries most days.Next is the cost. These berries cost $33.65 or $2.80/ounce. But if we assume that the 12 ounces of berries were roughly equivalent to, let's say, 6 pints, then the cost per pint is $5.61/pint. But I bought a pint of fresh blueberries the other day for $3.29. Rarely do I pay more than $3.50 for a pint. I have paid as little as $2.50 a pint from a store.Also, for comparison, I bought two different kinds of dried blueberries at an "organic" food store. One carton cost $1.66/ounce while a bag was $.73/ounce. The two packages had 14 ounces and cost a combined $14.88. So, if you can find them, you can get dried blueberries a lot cheaper at a local store. But the "best by" dates are only a few months away. So, they are for current use, not long-term storage.So, we pay the extra cost for the benefit of being able to store the blueberries 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.Oh, handling the dried blueberries may turn your fingers blue.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 12 oz. (or is supposed to be). I'm not sure why they chose 12 oz., but a check of other vendors shows that they also put only 10-13 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. (I've picked blueberries, so I know how long it can take.) 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. So, 12 ounces might fill only part of the can. In my case, it was most of the can. If someone got only 1/2 to 2/3 of a can full, then they might question the amount. But you have to go by weight, not apparent volume.
