Emergency Food Dehydrated Apple Slices, 19.2 oz

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.

Delicious dehydrated apple slices

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

Most of the cans we've gotten have been great. The last one was not fully dehydrated making for a very weird texture and a slightly off flavor.There doesn't seem to be a consistent variety of apple used but none have been super tart.And apple "slices" is a bit of a stretch. Most are just pieces. Kind of disappointing at first but at least now it's expected.Lastly make sure you have a good can opener. My electric and mediocre manual one left me prying it open with a knife. All good with my new manual opener. (I'd never had to open a 10 can before buying these).

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.
