Golden Swan Brand Water Chestnut Whole 227 g (Pack of 12)

The cans arrived with no damage. The tins I received were not ring pull but open easily with a tin opener. The water chestnuts are as good as any I have purchased elsewhere. They chop easily and taste as good as any others I have used and are perfect for stir fries. Bearing in mind the price of the product I would have ne hesitation in buying again. I went to buy more and the product was not available. About a month later I saw that they were back in stock at the same price. This time I doubled my order. When they arrived I found that one tin had a very small dent in it which did not appear to affect the contents. The expiry date of the cans was December 2021 with a production date of December 2019. Other than the expiry date there is no apparent difference between these cans and my original order, I would not hesitate in buying again.

Arrived on time and tins have good shelf life. Quality OK as well, excellent saving versus local supermarket which doesn't always have these in stock. Being on an island results in sporadic delivery of a lot of goods.

good value

Not sweet like fresh ones. But crunchy and juicy as usual. Did the job for texture in my recipe. Only gripe was the amount I needed to buy.

Bought a pack of 12 tins as I do enjoy vegetable stir fries 😋. On receipt all tins fine except for 4 that were dented, expiry date on tins was19.02.2022. I used the worst dented tin yesterday evening and on opening the contents looked, smelt and tasted okay. The tin held 12 complete water chestnuts, enough for a stir fry for two. For those who carb count, there was 140g of water chestnuts when drained. Carb content = 13g per 100g weight (drained) or 18g carbohydrates/tin. I sliced and added these to the stir fry and found they added the same taste and crunchy texture that I enjoy in those I have bought from the local takeaway. They will certainly be well used and I will definitely purchase them again in the future.

As described

8 out of 12 tins dented, 4 bad enough to make tin opening a challenge, lat order 4 dented but not as bad. Chestnuts are great and good quality. Handling the issue. What a pity.

Really like these. Difficult to find whole ones in the supermarket. Why would people buy sliced? Surely the crunch and taste of the whole is the the reason to eat them? These are cheap; taste great and are just the right level of crunch. 5 stars!
