Freeze Dried Sliced Strawberries Can, 18 Servings, Gluten Free Snack for Baking, Smoothies, and Emergency Storage - Healthy Individual Fruit Snacks, 6.5 Ounces

In January 2026 I bought a #10-size can each of Augason freeze-dried blueberries (12oz for $28.60, $2.38/oz), strawberries (6.4oz for $20.60 @41%off, $3.22/oz), and banana chips (25oz for $12.32). I loved the taste of the blueberries and strawberries, but the banana chips tasted more like potato chips than bananas. This is the first time I've purchased freeze-dried fruit, so I didn't know what to expect and certainly am no expert. I'm just giving my first impression and preferences. I bought them to add to oatmeal and smoothies instead of frozen berries taking up my limited freezer space. I already know I won't get the bananas again, only because I love the taste and texture of still-green bananas though i didn't expect these to be the same. I just don't see myself eating them as much as the berries. The berries are pricey, especially the strawberries, but also delicious. I was disappointment to see you only get half the volume of the other two. Opening a can half full is a bummer, but the ad does say you're getting 6.4oz, not 12oz (blueberries) or 25oz (bananas). I poured all 3 cans into Cambro food-grade containers and, well there you go. Enjoy!

These are cheaper then the grocery store, they taste great has a snack and work well in school lunches

Crisp + fresh! Very sweet strawberry slices that are crunchy. U can throw them in everything! Yogurt, cereal, ice cream, top a strawberry margarita, snack mixes. I just throw some in a sandwich ziplock + eat em like chips. Transfer the can contents to a big ziplock bag or air tight container immediately after opening to keep them crisp or they will quickly get soft + chewy. Yes, u can bake with em too, of course. Even babies will eat these as tasty treats. Good for prepping for the zombie apocalypse as they keep for a long time.

I'm very pleased with this product. The strawberries looked and tasted like they had been picked and processed at the perfect ripeness. The taste and color were just right, and were in good condition. After reading many reviews, I decided to weigh the contents of the can and found it equal to the stated weight.

I had to really struggle with my can opener to get the can open. That was difficult and time-consuming. The strawberries are beautiful, crunchy and delicious. The can was about 2/3 full. I’m sure they settled. I won’t buy it again only because I had so much trouble getting the can open. Of course I’m a senior.

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.

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!

Good flavor. Handy snack. Perfect for travel or camping. I carried small bag in my purse as snack. Can is only half full when you open it. Some powder in bottom of can but mixes well into yogurt or smoothy ( no waste).
