Augason Farms Dehydrated Apple Slices Certified Gluten Free Long Term Food Storage Large No. 10 Can

I normally dehydrate my own apples for my oatmeal but no time to restock so I decided to try these. Upon opening the can l was pleased to see the pieces are broken up. Even if they came in whole slices or circles, they are very crunchy and can be broken up by hand. The flavor seemed fresh and the texture upon rehydration was rubbery, (as expected since my own dehydrated apples are that way as well), but easy to chew. The container doesn’t mention what variety of apple is used, but they are very sweet to me…l generally go for a tart apple like Granny Smith. Knowing this, I just won’t add as many to the oatmeal. I've purchased several Augason Farms products in the past and I trust the brand.

Good flavor. Not many broken pieces. Can is only half full.

You can't go wrong with this brand. I love that I know that no matter what I buy from them that it will be a quality product and packaged for longevity. Having a well prepared pantry is important to me and this is my go-to brand at a reasonable price. I love that I can buy this in bulk and leave it knowing that it is packaged to last. Open the can and snack away or add these to your favorite recipes. These are super yummy. You get a lot of product for the price. Don't let the weight of the can fool you. I like that this is not a chemical nightmare. I try to have item on hand for in the event of an emergency. I look for items that are packaged well, travel well, don't require a lot of additional ingredients, are flexible for how they are used, and will act as comfort food. This fits the bill. My rabbits LOVE that I buy these. They make an excellent treat for them (in moderation), too.

Taste and texture was great! But the can was half full.

First off, these taste good and in my opinion are a great healthy snack. Augason does a good job and knows what they're doing. It's a little disappointing to open the can and find it half empty though. We've ordered many cans of their dried bananas and those cans arrive full to the brim. These are 25% decent dried apple slices, and 75% chips about twice the size of an average thumb nail. To me, I don't need perfect apple slices so it's no big deal. I also love that these can store unopened for 25 years. Augason knows how to provide max value max quality in long term storable food. We'll be re purchasing this item.
