Why did you pick this product vs others?: All strawberries were broken and did not look like product picture

On the plus side, the container I received was well sealed. It had a modest amount of powder at the bottom, but most of the strawberry slices were intact. The dull and muted red color is normal for freeze dried strawberries, and the flavor is sweet and delicious. However, the texture was a mixed bag with some of the slices being perfectly dried and crispy while others were semi-soft and rubbery. A soft or rubbery texture in freeze dried strawberries could indicate that the batch didn't have an adequate final dry time. Strawberries need a lot of extra time to dry adequately since their tiny seeds hold moisture. Failure to dry them long enough to remove the moisture completely results in soft, somewhat pliable pieces that still contain some moisture. Retained moisture provides a breeding ground for mold growth and batch spoilage. It could also be caused by an improper seal or delay in vacuum sealing which allowed for humid air to reintroduce moisture back into the product - and the result is the same. Moisture leads to accelerated spoilage. Since freeze drying strawberries is trickier than other foods, I prefer to buy them rather than process them myself (though I have a freeze dryer). Due to the concerns I have about whether these strawberry slices were dried enough before sealing, I can't recommend this brand.

Freeze dried Strawberries Great taste and texture, but only lasts a few days without beginning to become stale. The screw cap doesn’t create a good enough seal to prevent air from getting in and out. If they were sealed a bit better like in a bag of some sort they would last longer and I’d be more tempted to get them again, so I’d only recommend these if you’re going to eat them all at once. Before becoming stale these were like just about any other freeze dried strawberries, and fairly in-line with the pricing of other brands too.

The bite-size strawberry slices came in a lot of powder, diminishing appearance and leading me to remove a star from the review. The freeze-dried pieces have a good crunch and decent red color. The strawberry slices are very easy and convenient, being ready to enjoy or add straight out of the jar. It is great that there are only two ingredients, strawberries and sugar. I've been adding these to my homemade yogurt to add strawberry flavor without all the additives, preservatives, or emulsifiers. Great combination, and I prefer the taste over store-bought. The best by date of my order is 03/21/2027 which is almost 2 years from my order date, but I don't think any will be uneaten by then. Easy addition to the pantry.

Strawberry slices that come in a decent container and can be eaten as is or added to drinks to add a bit of flavor. Nice and easy to use and they seem to be of decent quality

Gross. Do not buy.. They are not freeze dried.

I’ve been eating these in low carb vanilla Greek yogurt, and they turn it into a sweet crunchy treat. The taste is concentrated and powerful, and the crunch is fun. I’m going to get four actual meals out of this canister, and each one was enjoyable and delicious. They’re great to munch right out of the jar, too, and I think they’d make a terrific candy-like snack for toddlers. Thankfully I’m far past the age of having small children, so I don’t have to share mine. Totally easy to use and came well safety sealed and fresh.
