16 oz Bella Sun Luci Sun Dried Tomatoes Julienne Cut

This is my absolute favorite brand of sun dried tomatoes. Always soft with a chewy texture and a great tomato tang. I use them in rice bowls, soups, sauces and casseroles. This larger bag is a great value and I divide it into smaller portions and freeze some for later. Always keep what you are using in the fridge to maintain their great color. I highly recommend these flavorful sun dried tomatoes.

I received these yesterday. They arrived very fresh and moist and the color was nice and red. The aroma and taste of these tomatoes were so good and I didn't want them to dry out anytime soon so I packaged all 16 ounces into individual 1/2 cup serving food saver bags for freezing. I plan on using these anytime I want to add the awesome flavor and texture of these sundried tomatoes to many different recipes. They should keep in the freezer up to 18 months but I'll probably use them all before then. I know they'll be as fresh as the day I received them since I packaged them in my food saver bags.

Sun dried tomatoes of this variety have become harder to come by, as well as being more expensive. I was glad to find a larger size for a reasonable price. As these can turn brownish rather quickly, I freeze them and apportion a smaller amount in a separate bag for the refrigerator. Sun dried tomatoes are versatile and delicious (sometimes I chew a handful of them for a tangy snack).

I've tried several brands of sun-dried tomatoes, and these are the best. Most of the others are either too dry or too wet. These are just right. They are flavorful, and you can also tell they are truly sun-dried rather than dried by heating.I don't go through tomatoes too fast, so put half of the bag into a zipper freezer bag and store in the refrigerator. I keep the remainder in the original bag and store in the freezer. The Best-By-Date on the bag I just got is about 10 months from the date received. I suspect they would normally last quite a bit longer than that, especially if refrigerated properly. Keeping some frozen would also extend the life.My only issue is that they are quite expensive compared to much of the competition. It would also be nice if they were offered in different sizes, for example also available in 2-pound bags and 3-pound bags.Update (July 18, 2023); Just received another one of these today from Amazon. The Best-By-Date on the bag is Dec. 13, 2023 which is just under 5 months from today.

Sometimes I just stand in front of the fridge and eat them right from the bag. Very delicious, no oil. Great on sandwiches or in eggs. BIG bag for the money. If you can keep your mitts out of the bag, it lasts a long time.

After seeing all the great reviews on Amazon, I bought a packet of these. On arrival, I could see through the bottom of the bag that they were a very dark brown almost black color. This is disappointing, especially since they add sulphur dioxide for color retention.My thought was I should open them and taste them, since they are not eligible for return through Amazon. Although the color was bad... the taste was worse. Not reminiscent of tomato flavors at all. More like a stale, funky, blah taste. Texture was awful too - slimy, mushy yuck.

These sun dried are delicious. They have clean ingredients, low sodium and great flavor. Easy to cook with and last in the resealable bag. The price is just a wee bit higher than I paid at the local store when they carried this brand. Recommend.

After searching for tomatoes not soaked in some salty brine, I found these. No salty briny aftertaste. Pure tomato. Delicious!
