Freeze Dried Sliced Strawberries Can, Emergency Food Supply, Everyday Meals, 18 Servings

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!

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.

Amazing - sweet and crispy. Family members were eating them by the handful. ;-)

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.

These berries are so sweet yet tart and are not coated in sugar. I really enjoy the Augason Farms dehydrated strawberries, so much that I am on my 3rd can! The only con: It's a big can which is only 2/3rds full. I'd rather have a tin can with a smaller footprint. The can is super big!

This is such a great deal for freeze dried strawberries. So many of them and they're delicious. Definitely make sure you eat them somewhat quickly but they do last a while. I think mine lasted for around a month until it went stale and I had almost finished it by then. It's nice that it comes in a sealed container. The strawberries taste great - such an addicting snack!

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.
