Frequently Asked Questions

How many snails are in each pouch?

Each pouch contains 12 premium freeze-dried snails.

What size are the snails?

Our snails are medium to large in size and are carefully selected for quality, texture, and consistency. After rehydration and cooking, they deliver the full flavor and satisfying bite expected in traditional snail dishes.

How do I prepare the snails?

To rehydrate your snails, simply boil in water or broth on medium heat for about 60 minutes (larger pieces may require additional rehydration time), then cook into your preferred dish such as stew, soup, or peppered snails.

How should I store them?

Store sealed in a cool, dry place. Once opened, reseal tightly to maintain freshness.

Where do you ship from?

All orders ship from the USA for fast and reliable delivery.

Why are these freeze-dried, not frozen or sun dried?

Freeze-drying, as opposed to traditional drying, preserves nutrients, flavor and texture while making storage easier, reducing spoilage, and allowing you to enjoy snails anytime without sourcing challenges.
