More of an emergency preparedness question: What would be the shelf life?

Only a few weeks once opened-- they get rock hard. You might be able to vacuum seal them, but that might buy you a year?

According to a website I found on Google, six months in the refrigerator. I put them in snack bags so it's handy to grab one rather than open the whole hulking 4-lb. bag each time.

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.

if you think supply lines are gonna be cut within the next year I'd suggest you spend your money on something other than blueberries.

May be 3 months I would say, although I always kept the extra quantity it in the freezer section and took required berries on a weekly basis from it.Thanks

T. Hanson, according to my research on-line, it depends on how and where you store the dried fruit. In pantry, cellar, etc. should last 6-12 months; refrigerator should last 1 to 2 years; freezer - indefinite. When I get these, I put 1 to 2 cups in my Food Saver machine (vacuum sealer) and seal them up, keeping them flat, then I stack them in a paper lunch bag - lying down on the counter - then, I stand the bags in my freezer. When I want them, I take out one "sealed" bag and let it come to room temperature, open it up and enjoy the best dried cherries and blueberries I have ever had. I have had some in the freezer for over a year now and used them during the holidays. You would have thought I had just received them. Traverse Bay is an exceptional product!! I hope this helps - if you have a more specific question, please post it!

i love this fruit from Traverse Bay! i use it within a couple months.. but i think a daughter has some in her pantry about 3 years now.LOL, keep it sealed. i freeze mine. never bad. perfect food. use in yogurt, with cereal and mostly for baking (put in boiling water for a couple minutes and drain, perfect for all recipes). I suppose, unopened this product would last for years, but you could check with the company for exact answer. These fruits are far more quality and taste than the little packages in the grocery store. wait till you make granola with them. yummy. Enjoy! hope my answer helps. i love this fruit from Traverse Bay! i use it within a couple months.. but i think a daughter has some in her pantry about 3 years now.LOL, keep it sealed. i freeze mine. never bad. perfect food. use in yogurt, with cereal and mostly for baking (put in boiling water for a couple minutes and drain, perfect for all recipes).

We used it right away so can't tell you about shelf life. I suggest contacting the company. Sorry.

The shelf life is well over a year. This is a product we are going to continue to stock. It does well for us.

It has been packed with an oxygen absorber so it should have at least a five year shelf life if unopened. After opening it should have 9 months to a year.

Not sure about the shelf life, but I've had mine up to two years if stored in a cool dry place .. maybe even longer, asthey are sealed in plastic....

No need to freeze it. It's dried and powdered. Put the bag in a zip-loc and store it in a dry place. You're never going to get an accurate shelf-life. It will probably last years and years.

20-25 years on all of there stuff (emergency essentials is there new name, they have been around for decades and are one of, if not the best, prepper suppliers out there). Kept at proper temperature YEAR ROUND (40-60 degrees, low humidity, out of sunlight) you can count on 30+ years.

The shelf life is about a year, but I stick the extra bags in the freezer and extend the life of it. Believe me you will not have too much have it too long.

I am not sure of the shelf life. I had to stop using it because it hurt my skin (made it feel like it was burning).

It should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer. Not sure about the shelf life.

Honestly, I dont know about shelf life. I do know that the food i ordered two years ago I just used and it was fine. The dehydrated foods just last.

Hi, shelf life is typically 1 year from time of purchase (but storing in colder places will help!)Thanks,Green Bulk team

My husband used this and the shelf life as far as I could tell was over a year because he only used a small amount. I suspect it is a very long shelf life.

there is a self life to the water and food stuffs of fire years from packaging. there are some things that can be added by yoourself that have longer shelf lives like mre's that can last on the shelf for as much as ten years.i got this so i would have something in the truck if i ever got stuck on hiway during a winter storm when you might be there for a day or so. that down't happen too often but better to be ready for it.

The inventory we currently have has a "use by" date of 6/15/18 so it has 3-4 year shelf life.

Don't know the shelf life. You might want to ask the manufacturer. I kept it refrigerated after I opened it.
