Three pound bag of dried fruits and nuts including apricots, passion fruit, pineapple, cherries, cranberries, grapes(raisins) and bananas. Walnuts and almonds. I bought this thing almost 6 months ago and it has been sitting in my desk drawer here at work. Ever month or so I remember I have it and eat some. I just poured some out and it still looks fine. Still tastes fresh. How long does this stuff last? There is no date on the bag. |
3 co-workers stopped by and just helped themselves too. Then one asked "did you just get that today" and I said, "nope, same bag I have had for 6 months". You should have seen her face. |
OUTSTANDING!  I can't stand it when people just walk up and help themselves without asking!

The thing you have to watch out for with dried fruits is insect growth. I know it sounds ridiculous but I've seen it with my own eyes. Insects growing/thriving in the bottom of a couple of jars of dried fruit. The jars would just keep getting refilled never really completely emptying and the fruit on the bottom of the jar sat too long. I guess it depends how airtight the container is also. |
