After only 2 weeks in the fridge, they got a white filmy mold, on top, and the hearts became mold. Unfortunately, I only had eaten 6 out of the jar. Store would not refund or replace. Nowhere on jar does it say spoils in 2 weeks. It however says best by 2017. Which I took as not spoiling in 2 weeks. Will not buy again.

Delicious!

They are a staple in our house to eat with Sunday dinner. I dump all the water out and fill with balsalmic or red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, oregano and basil and sometimes rosemary. We put a few on our salad. I havent had any trouble with them going bad. Its just my guess they may have been opened before you bought them. Just marinate & enjoy!

I bought these in the summer knowing they were in water thinking they would be good to use in a spinach and artichoke dip. They worked out well. However, after maybe a week or so open in my fridge the rest spoiled. Like everyone else here I thought it was a fluke and bought them a 2nd time only to find they spoiled just as quickly.I will not buy again unless I know I will use the whole jar immediately. In the future I will probably look to another store to buy frozen artichoke hearts to keep on hand for dip.

Love these!

TASTY AND FIRM

Consistently have purchased these artichokes , never a problem. We love artichoke dip, I make it for all the family gatherings. I use the whole jar. My problem is we can no longer find them nor do I find them on Sam's website as available. I hope they bring them back soon. as for the jar opening hard, I always tap jars to break the seal on sealed jars. I'm elderly and have no problem opening them.

I buy these whenever they are available in the Concord, CA store. We much prefer these over any other brand and like that they are not packed in oil. We use them mostly in salads and on pizza. The lid is not any more difficult to open than most any other product sold in a glass jar with a metal lid such as apple sauce, salsa, mixed salad beans, pasta sauce, etc. Please keep selling these.

Mushy could'nt eat them
