First, and most important, the weight of the blueberries I received was 12.1 oz, just a hair over the specified weight. So, I got what I paid for. By the way, the unopened can weighs 21 oz. By itself, the can and lid weighs 8.9 oz. So, in the future, I can tell whether I got the correct 12 oz. without having to open the can.
And the can was nearly full, surprising me. About 5.5" of the 7" tall can, or 78%, was full of berries.
Second is the number of servings. Following the printed statement on the can label, I measured out 13 grams, or 1/2 cup, of berries that was supposed to equal one serving. 13 grams did equal 1/2 cup. I actually got 25-1/3 servings from the 12.1 ounces of berries. So, the difference in the 2/3 "missing" serving could be due to one or two extra berries in many of the other cups full. I won't quibble over the slight "shortage," especially since I got the specified 12 ounces.
Third, the quality. The berries tasted good. Both dry and rehydrated, they had a reasonably sweet taste, just a little tart as you might expect from blueberries. The taste was slightly different from some fresh blueberries I have. The main difference is that when dry, they are very crunchy. When rehydrated, they are squishy. They do not have the firmness of fresh berries. But that should be expected.
As for their appearance, they are shriveled as expected, but they were good-sized even when dry (see pictures). The coloring was the expected "blue" color of blueberries. Some had white areas on them, but when I loooked closely, these were where the outer skin and peeled off. I don't think there is anything wrong with them.
Finally, I rehydrated some, following the directions on the label (1/2 cup of berries in 1 cup of warm water). I left them in the water for about 15 minutes to make sure they were rehydrated as much as possible. One thing I noticed was that only about 1/4 of the 1 cup of water was absorbed. There was about 3/4 cup of blueberry water left over.
In the Q&A section, one person estimated that the rehydrated berries would be equal to 6.5 pints (2 cups to a pint - 26 servings/4 = 6.5). The rehydrated berries were actually about the same 1/2 cup in volume as the dried berries. Four 1/2 cups of the rehydrated berries would probably be almost a pint in volume. In terms of numbers of berries, you might get about the similar numbers. I counted 36 fresh berries into a 1/2 cup and 45 dry berries into the same 1/2 cup. The rehydrated berries weighed about 2 oz while a matching 1/2 cup of fresh berries weighed 2.5 oz.
Rehydration is not required. They can be eaten straight from the can - if you have a taste for blueberries. I would add them to my cereal, where I have blueberries most days.
Next is the cost. These berries cost $33.65 or $2.80/ounce. But if we assume that the 12 ounces of berries were roughly equivalent to, let's say, 6 pints, then the cost per pint is $5.61/pint. But I bought a pint of fresh blueberries the other day for $3.29. Rarely do I pay more than $3.50 for a pint. I have paid as little as $2.50 a pint from a store.
Also, for comparison, I bought two different kinds of dried blueberries at an "organic" food store. One carton cost $1.66/ounce while a bag was $.73/ounce. The two packages had 14 ounces and cost a combined $14.88. So, if you can find them, you can get dried blueberries a lot cheaper at a local store. But the "best by" dates are only a few months away. So, they are for current use, not long-term storage.
So, we pay the extra cost for the benefit of being able to store the blueberries for an extended period of time - for emergencies. And I would buy these again for such a contingency. (Now that I've opened the can, I will need to eat them in the next few months.) But I would NOT buy these for regular or daily use if I had access to dried berries at the grocery store.
Oh, handling the dried blueberries may turn your fingers blue.
PS: Some people think that because they get a large can, they should get it full of berries. But the picture clearly shows that the net weight is 12 oz. (or is supposed to be). I'm not sure why they chose 12 oz., but a check of other vendors shows that they also put only 10-13 ounces of berries in their containers. Yes, Augason could put more berries in the can, but they would charge more for the berries. There is a cost associated with the production - the more berries, the higher the cost. (I've picked blueberries, so I know how long it can take.) The #10 can is a standard sized can used not only by Augason, but also other manufacturers who sell long-shelf-life food products. Using one size can is cheaper than having many different size cans. I have #10 cans with products weighing 2+ pounds. So, 12 ounces might fill only part of the can. In my case, it was most of the can. If someone got only 1/2 to 2/3 of a can full, then they might question the amount. But you have to go by weight, not apparent volume.

I made 35-ish cupcakes and had leftover frosting. Wish I'd frozen my leftover as it was YUMMY! Everyone loved the flavor and the deep blue/purple color was perfect!
I threw the blueberries into a drinking cup for my combo bullet blender and made a powder. Then add in until I reached my desired flavor, which ended up being the entire can LOL! I could've frosted another 24 probably with what I had left over. To be far I had zero idea how many berries I'd need. Again though flavor was spot on and all the wedding guests and my taste testers (self included) thought they were yummy!

Will definitely be stacking a few of these in the cabin.
I've taken to using chop sticks when eating them...that both slows down the eating and keeps fingers clean. If you eat more than just a few, your fingertips will likely turn blue and the stain is transferable if there is any dampness involved. If you spill a few crumbs on your shirt, they can be brushed off...provided there is no dampness. Just be aware that these are real blueberries with real blueberry staining power when hydrated.
Most of the berries are whole, but there is a notable amount of blueberry powder when you get to the bottom. If you make smoothies, no issue. For snacking, I just use a spoon (being VERY careful not to loose any of those tasty but staining flakes)
