Can the bags of coconut be put in freezer? Pack of 4 best price but too much for me to use up quickly. Or best way to keep fresh?

I haven't frozen Red Mill coconut, but freezing doesn't hurt other similar products that I've used, but I used a vacuum sealed packaging.. I'll try my Red Mill when the occasion arises.

I keep the unopened bags in my pantry, and put the contents of the opened bag into a sealed glass jar in the refrigerator. So far, both seem to be just fine. Don't know about what freezing would do to the coconut. Maybe you should contact Red Mill about that.

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.

Do you mean after they've been opened? Because otherwise there'd be no reason to freeze them since they're in cans which should last years and years if unopened. So, if I did get that right, I see no reason why you can't freeze some of this maybe even in a small Tupperware or plastic bag with the air sucked out of it. If you haven't had it already, it's really really good stuff. Enjoy!

The package said not to freeze. I did previous review on the internet and a lady advised she would individual wrap leftover beans in wax paper then place in a freezer bag. She would then pull out one or two as needed. I did have a few left over and placed them in the freezer. I have not pulled them out for use at this time.

what is the best way to store? in the past a drop of water in a bag in the fridge would keep it moist to pop better, any other suggestions about best storage re: freshness:-)

I keep mine in the fridge after opening and only grind right before using. The bag lasts me slightly less than a month, so I never have any freshness issues.

I put them in the freezer when we're taking long trips and will need extra insulin. Fridge would be fine for keeping it from getting warm on hit days. Sometimes I only use one freezer pack

I measured out two cups into a freezer bag and froze them. I don't know how long ours have been frozen, but when I take them out to thaw, they are very fresh tasting. I do this also with the bulk nuts I buy here on Amazon.

My understanding is the bags are not for freezer use, so the answer is no. To do that you'd need to purchase their bigger food saver sealing machine.

I just came from a grocery store presentation of this product. For a cold pack they should be put in the refrigerator not the freezer. If put in the freezer they will burst like a can of soda. That's exactly what the factory rep. doing the demonstration said.

A bit late... behind in email... I wouldn't suggest using them in freezers. My experience was not a good one in that seal was poor, and that did not involve any sort of refrigeration. For putting stuff in a freezer, a FoodSaver is best. Of course, that has its limits in sizes.

The bags that you don't use you should reseal in a bag or heat seal(I just put them in a freezer bag...) so they stay fresh. The ones you put in your safe you just drop in.

I keep mine in the refrigerator but if you don't use it often then store it in the freezer. It's a large bag.

I've have never frozen any bags. I use 2 Tablespoonsful daily. After I have opened the bag and removed what I need at the time, I seal the bag tightly and store it in the refrigerator, which is a dark, cool place when the door is closed, as it says on the bag.

Yes, you can, BUT it defeats the essential benefit of keeping food fresh longer. they might also crack if over filled as liquids expand when they are frozen. The DEBBIE MEYER UltraLite GreenBoxes are Independent Laboratory tested and proven to keep fresh produce, baked goods and snacks fresh longer, without freezing. If you freeze in them you will experience freezer burn and the freshness properties will not work. In the freezer you need to create a vacuum to prevent freezer burn. You can use DEBBIE MEYER GeniusVac and DEBBIE MEYER GeniusVac Bags for the freezer. The beauty of these boxes is that you do NOT have to freeze most times because the food stays fresh for longer. Hope this helps.

Not refrigerated is ok, and I have done this by leaving them in the pantry and taking a few out of the bag every now and then to munch on. After multiple purchases, I found that leaving the bag in the refrigerator and eating the coconut strip cold tastes better and has more of a solid texture. You will be amazed the coconut strips are good tasting to snack on.

I freeze them the minute I get them. They never stay in the freezer more than a couple months at a time because I grind them every morning for our smoothies. I would think that they could be froze at least a year or more without tasting or smelling freezer burn.
