Do you have to store it in the refrigerator? I have a very packed fridge and can't really afford to keep a 5 pound bag of almond flour in it...

I keep mine in the refrigerator because I do not use it every day and I do not want it to go bad. It can also be kept in the freezer.

Yes, the bag states to keep in refrigerator or the freezer, so it will keep for a few months. Although, I use mine often and it is usually gone in a month.

I've just started using this product. My first order was the 2-pound bag. Since I was baking for Christmas, I used it up very quickly, within 10 days. I didn't keep it in the refrigerator and it seemed fine. My 5-pound bag arrived yesterday. I wasn't planning to refrigerate it, but maybe I should. When nuts are whole (not ground into powder), all the nuts except walnuts are fine at room temperature. Walnuts go rancid much more easily and should be kept in the fridge. Whole wheat flour also goes rancid easily, and I have always kept it refrigerated. I transfer the flour into quart-sized canning jars first. I've just started using this product.

Once opened it is best to store it in the fridge, but you could also portion it out and store the bulk of it in the freezer.

It will last much longer if you store it in the fridge - unless you plan to use it up quickly. Why don't you transfer it to smaller containers? You could also keep it on your back porch in cold weather.

I keep this on the shelf for 1-2 months with no problems, never refrigerated any almond flour.

I did not store it in the Refrigerator and it stayed fresh and worked well every time I baked with it. I did keep it in a cupboard where it stayed out of the sunlight and direct heat. This is an excellent product and I think you will like it as much as I did.

I didn't refrigerate it, and I have seen (and still see) no issues with the powder as I have slowly been using it. Very likely there's no more issue with it than any other dry powder, like flour.

The flour is inside a sealed plastic bag within the paper bag. The flour I received in April of 2014 expires in August of 2015. Keep it in a cool, dry place. If you have some great GF recipes you'll go through it in no time.

I am presently storing mine in the pantry. However, the oil separates out and all oils can potentially become rancid, so I'm going to move mine into the refrigerator, as I still have a lot left after making hummus a few times. I had to take mine out of the can and put it in a jar, because I was sent a severely dented can, and it was too much trouble to send it back.

Yes, flour can be stored in mylar bags. Make sure to use oxygen absorbers in each bag. When storing, keep the bags in a hard type container, such as food grade bucket or storage tub. Keep the container up off the floor a few inches to prevent moisture/condensation caused by temperature change. Try to keep in a dark, dry place with a average temp of 70 degree F. The closer you keep it to 70 or below, the longer it will keep.

It comes in a bag and doesn't need to be refrigerated. Cook the whole bag and if you don't eat it all, you can put leftovers in the refrigerator.

It can be stored in the pantry until you open it and then it needs to be in the fridge. It actually says refrigerate after opening on the container. My ex roommate left it out and it turned to mush.

As far as storage, It says on the package to store in a cool dry place. Sometimes the refrigerator is too cold and moist. Might be better to call the company and ask them.

You should never store flour in cloth bags because of easy insect infestation. Flours should be stored in air tight containers. If you have flour in a bag, there's a good chance that infestation happened at some point but all you need to do is to freeze that bag for a month or more and it will kill anything that may have come to munch. lol I bought a large amount of wheat grains from a farm coop and they came in plastic bags but they told me that due to storage, it's only natural that some infestation takes place and instructed me to freeze the grain. I did and then vacuum sealed the clean grain in gallon Mason food jars. Perfect. You should never store flour in cloth bags because of easy insect infestation.

The expiration date says 10/2014....but...I put whatever I am NOT using in my freezer...Refrigerator should be fine as wellGoogle: How long can you keep flour in the freezer/fridge before it loses anything? Hope this helps you...: )

No it does not have to be stored in the fridge. Treat it the same as you would for a can of Crisco. It is really great shortening!!!! Mine was shipped in a regular box -- with padding. Enjoy!!

Not If you need to store it for a long period of time. I bake weekly so it doesn't sit in there for very long. Everything bakes up nicely. hope this helps.:)

Yes, I believe it is recommended to keep it in the fridge after opening. Frankly I didn't like the product so whatever purpose you did buy I hope it will be serving you. Good luck. Wish you the best.

For cabinet storage, up to 8 months in a sealed container or original packaging. Up to a year in the refrigerator. I keep all of my flour in tightly sealed plastic containers in the freezer, keeps indefinitely.

The package says to store either in the freezer or refrigerator. With other brands, when I kept it in the freezer it seemed to clump up in the freezer but I haven't noticed that yet with this brand

Well, I packed it in vacuum sealed 10 lb bags and it lasted for 5+ months. I don't know if this helps you or not. But that was our experience with the flour.

Personally, I have never refrigerated this almond flour and I've never had any issues with it. I keep it in a cabinet under the counter in the kitchen and one bag generally lasts me about 3 months. I love this brand and definitely recommend it.
