Can this wheat flour be vacuum sealed in mylar bags for long shelf life or stored in a freezer only?

I bet it could. It lasts me a long time in the bag it comes in. You should try it.

The bags last us 4 months and we have never experienced deterioration. Product is very dry unlike sweetened coconut. I can see no reason it would not freeze well if you protect from frost crystals and getting freezer odor. If you used vacuum Foodsaver, should be able to keep for at least a year without refrigeration.

Storing in the freezer serves no useful purpose and would compromise the chewiness. The product will stay fresh if kept sealed, although the refrigerator might extend freshness awhile. We don't do that.

Almond flour should be kept in a cool place and a relative humidity of 50-60%. I use almond flour on a regular basis so I keep a 2lb canister on the counter in a shady corner and the rest I put in gallon or 1/2 gallon glass mason jars in the freezer or refrigerator(I got this tip from Elana Amsterdam) Keep in mind that when you bring almond flour out of the refrigerator that it will be a clumpy mess until it hits room temp (which is why I always have some on the counter ready for use!). Almond flour stored like this is good for up to 6 months and sometimes longer though I confess it doesn't sit around for too long at my house! It is a wonderful flour to work with and plus it is very yummy! I hope this answers your question!

It is supposed to be refrigerated after you open it. It states this on the package but I completely missed it. Like you, I've only used almond flour that does not require refrigeration. After a week, I noticed it started to smell rancid which is when I realized that I was supposed to refrigerate it.

I have not vacuum sealed them. I store the original bag they came in, in a freezer zip lock bag, in the freezer and they are still fresh after one month.

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.

You can store in the freezer or vaccum seal. It will keep longer in the freezer, but make sure it's air tight.

I can not answer this question from past experience. I have read a bit on baking with yeast and yeast storage and I keep reading that yeast can be frozen for over a year or so...plus I would think you can add on additional time with the expiration date. It is a lot of yeast but if you bake one loaf of bread every two weeks and use two packets of yeast for each loaf of bread then you could use this up in two years. Just trying to put it into perspective. Hope this helps.

Each paper package has a sealed plastic bag of flour within. Once I open the sealed plastic bag, I secure it closed with a clip, place it back in the paper package and store it in the fridge. I store the unopened packages in the cardboard carton in a cool, dark closet and have had no problems so far.

I understand it will be more than 10 years. When I opened mine I ground about 4 pounds and then sealed the rest of the berries in mylar bags with oxygen packs to keep it fresh until I needed to grind more flour.

I put my flour in the freezer to increase the life of the flour. I have had regular flour in the pass for quite some time.

Good question this but I have not had that many in one go only 2 bags at one time and uses it every day but I see no harm in freezing them all as kept in the fridge and not quickly used up may go rancid and with freezing going rancid is unlikely. Freeze them all and the bag being used kept in freezer as well and taken out each time you need it. If you lived in a hot country freezing would be necessary as wheat can attract little mites and would go rancid quickly if kept in fridge over a long time but in a cold country freezing may not be necessary BUT I would definitely FREEZE them all. I am going to FREEZE mine from now on. Thanks for the question. (p.s. I bought the 8lbs for my sister in US through Amazon and will tell her toFREEZE them.)

Yes,it is resealable,not air tight-I suppose if one wanted to keep the wheat for extended periods of time,it would need to be frozen or refrigerated. Bay leaves,diatomaceous earth,can be added to keep bug's out and prolong shelf life,keep tightly covered.

I repackaged mine in 1 gallon ziplocs and have had it on the shelf for 8 months with no problems. Because it is a dry product, I don't believe you need to freeze it to store it.

There is no need to freeze or refrigerate the unopened package. I don't refrigerate the unused portion. Very long shelf life in sealed pkg. It is made with low moisture and I believe with no preservatives. If you enjoy nutty slightly chewy texture you will love this bread. Nutrient dense. Toast to bring out the flavor.

I only ordered the 4 lb bag, not the case. Its alot of flour and still using it. I have trialed many brands and this is the best gluten free flour I have found. Unless you plan on doing a massive amount of baking in the next month or so, I would stick to buying it in the 4 lbs bags. Not sure about the shelf life
