I have ordered the cherries from Traverse Bay multiple times. It takes me about 3 months or so to go through a bag. I put a small supply in a ziplock sandwich bag for daily use. I keep the original bag tightly closed with a clip and put that inside a big ziplock bag. I just put that on a cupboard shelf in the kitchen. They keep well. I do notice that the very last of the bag of cherries becomes a little bit more dried out that the beginning of the bag. I kept an unopened box in the freezer for several months when I got two boxes at a time. They freeze perfectly. It is worth it to get the 4 pound bag.

I go through a 4# package in about three months and the last few are pretty much the same. I do wrap them tightly and keep them in refrigerator.

I stored them in air-tight plastic containers for months and they were fine. You could put them in the freezer too.

I keep them in an air tight container and they last for at least a couple of months. They lose a little bit of moisture but all in all, they are still good! I bought mine in early December and they are still good today!

I kept my dried cherries in cabinet in a ziplock bag for a year. They remained good.

I've kept them for about a month. They don't last in my house longer than that, so I can't say! They are like raisins or dried cranberries.

I have had them unopened for up to 2years and has not gone bad. I store them indoors and not in the garage until ready to use.

I would leave them in the bag unopened. I believe the expiration date is several months. I did use mine within 1 few weeks. I would also think you could freeze them.

As long as you keep them dry they will last. I have some over a year old. Greg

I have kept them a couple of months and they were still good. Don't know if there is a problem with time. They wouldn't last as long if kept in a hot place. I keep them in a pantry that is pretty cool.

I store them for up to a year but there is a shelf life date on the bottle.

I am not sure- I would say 5 years MAX as a guess if stored properly. I put mine in the freezer with the hopes of extending their life. Cheers!

depends on how soon they will be used... soon? you can put them in the cupboard.. any time in the future I'd put them in the fridge or freezer - the freezer will keep them longest

No I don't see an expiration date. But if they are sealed and in a cool place they should last a long time.

I have no idea how long these would last if stored. The longest I was able to keep the 1 lb bag was a month and that's because I was doing my best not to eat them all at the same time.

Stored properly, they should be viable for two years for sure, perhaps three. If you just leave them in a cupboard, I'd guess 8 months. If you are looking for doomsday storage, there is proper equipment for long-term seed storage, but I know nothing about that.

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, as they are sealed in plastic....

I've had them last for years, with no adverse effects, so long as they are dry when stored. Hope this helps.

Indefinitely as long as you store them in a safe place. You should keep them some place where they will not be exposetto temps above 80 degrees.

I have stored them in milk in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. I've heard they can go longer. I also have some frozen in milk also, as I've heard you can do (though I haven't tried using them yet.)

I kept mine in the refrigerator until ready to use but the ones not in the refrigerator kept for a long time 4 months even.

Well, I keep them after opening in a ziplock bag and I think sometimes it's 6 months or more before I use them all. Sometimes I put them in the refrigerator in the ziplock bag. Once you've reconstituted them with water however I'd use them within a few days.
