Do all 4 jars of these need to be refrigerated immediately, and what are the expiration dates?

Flax seeds do not need to be refrigerated. Expiration date according to when you purchase seed date will be on jar

I did not refrigerate the flax seed, but kept (keep) it in a dark, dry cupboard. The expiration dates on the ones I purchased (maybe 2 years ago?) are Aug. 2015. Hope this helps!

Whole seeds in a sealed jar will last for a couple of years. In an opened jar, a little less. If you grind them in your spice mill, then the meal will oxidize faster, so maybe you should seal it in a zip bag, press out the air, and pop it in the freezer. The meal is more nutritious than the whole seeds, so give your grinder a spin. And yes, the gold variety is just as tasty and healthful as the brown variety.

I put them in smaller containers and than put them in the freezer. They will last until you use it all.

No refrigeration is required; however, I do keep the unopened jars in a dark pantry. The jars are so well sealed, I don't worry about the flax seed becoming rancid. After opening a jar, I do keep it in the fridge. Hope this helps.

I can't answer about the expiration - I am a fellow flax seed buyer asked by Amazon to answer this for some reason. I can say that you don't need to refidgerate them. Whole flax seeds keep much longer than ground. I grind them with a coffee grinder and put them on my cereal in the morning. I bought a giant jar a few months ago (the size of all 4 of these jars) and they are still good - have used a little more than half the jar. One other word of advice - start with a small amount and gradually increase. I had discomfort for the first several days, now I eat 2 tablespoons/day with no trouble.

It was extremely fresh when I opened the jar. After that I always keep it in the refridgerator and it keeps fresh until I use all of it. I don't have that jar right now so I can't tell you if there was an expiration date, however, I don't believe there was one.

You do not have to refrigerate. I just used a kit that I bought months ago, and it is great.

I would refrigerate them until you want to use them. I've had them all sitting out for about 4 months in the carrier and some have lost their flavor

I just checked on my jar, and I did not see an expiration date. However, you are supposed to keep it in a cool, dark place.

No. They are individually wrapped and do not require refrigeration. They are also yummy! Love them. Convenient to use and take with you if you travel.

They don't need to be refrigerated. I have used these in the Gobi Desert, Central America and the South Pacific. They had no problem holding up to heat. They of course should not get wet.

depending on the humidity of your region, they can stay fresh for a few hours to a few days. I found that placing them in plastic bags(gallon size) worked well to preserve them for over a week. I wouldn't suggest refrigerating them because it will add extra moisture, making them potentially soggy.

They're olives... packed in brine... and the jar maintains a seal to keep air out, so they don't need refrigeration. That is why there is no expiration date. I don't bother to refrigerate them until I'm near the end and it's no longer worth keeping in such a large container. At that point, about 3 months later, I put them in a sealed Rubbermaid container, still covered with the brine, and put them in the fridge.

It depends on how you store them, and how much of a perfectionist you are. I vacuum seal them in quart mason jars as soon as I receive them, and store them in a low cool cabinet. They are fine for 6 months.

Yes, this and other nut butters in jars need to be refrigerated once opened. Be sure to stir the contents thoroughly before placing in the refrigerator, and it is useful to put a tag with the date when opened on the top so you'll know how fresh it is!

It needs to be stored in a cool, dry place. I've never refrigerated it. The jar I just received has a two year pull date; copy on the label says to use within two years of opening.

I keep them in the fridge once they are open, but I would think if you seal them well, maybe in a different container, you could keep in the pantry. Really no need to refrigerate.

Yes, unopened is absolutely the best way because they don't last super long otherwise (ask me how I know). I am almost 100% sure they do not have to be refrigerated while still unopened.

depends when you get them, but I have a bottle from last year with an expiration date of 06/16. You are supposed to keep them refrigerated I think, once opening them.

I have never refrigerated them, but like anything else, I avoid extreme changes on either end. Has always kept them at room temp. Been taking them as a daily supplement for 4 years. Has really helped the immune system.

As long as they are sealed they do not have to be refrigerated. Once you open the bottle, and break the seal then put the bottle in the refrigerator.
