What is the best way for storing the hemp seed for future use. Freezer or frig. ?

I'm not sure about the "best" way. Some recommend refrigerating, but I figured that wasn't needed until after the bag was opened, so that's what I do. They only last a month or so. Freezing is probably good for longer periods. I just store the new bags in the pantry.

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.

we keep it room temperature, just storing in the bag, in the pantry. Never had any issues. the bags last us around 2 months, with all 4 of us eating them.

I keep mine in the fridge per package instructions. The date the seeds were packed and the date they should be used by are both on the package and that is a year-long span.

I just keep them in a cooler room, I think freezing may make them mushy. Fridge might be alright although I haven't done that. I use it every day in my protein shakes so doesn't sit around a long time..just looked at the pkg. and says to refrigerate, guess I will be keeping it there from now on

I don't know for sure, but I store UNOPENED packets in the pantry. After one is opened I keep it in the refrigerator.

I didn't even freeze or refrig mine and I've already finished one pouch since I shared it. The resealable pouch seemed to keep it pretty well. But, I would probably keep it in the fridge. I don't think freezing it will do any harm.

Keep it in the freezer. Lasts a long long time in the freezer. You can also keep your herbs in the freezer.

In small print on the container the instructions are to store in a cool, dry place, best if refrigerated. Hope this helps. I really recommend this product. It has helped me immensely. LS

Either a full sized fridge or a chest freezer. I use a chest freezer turned into a fridge

I use several Zip Lock brand freezer bags to store this food. (Freezer bags are thicker, seal more tightly, and keep food fresher than regular storage bags.) I keep it in our climate-controlled pantry, and it lasts for months this way. (I wouldn't recommend storing it in the garage if you live down South like I do.)

Hello Bob. I was told by the seller that if I keep the seeds in the freezer and thaw them slowly before I use them they will be good forever. Hence mine are in the freezer. If you buy these, the seller includes an info sheet on all this. Good luck.

Flax seed is like some other grains, such as wheat, whereby these seeds do not need to be stored in the freezer like sunflower seeds. They will last for years outside the freezer and probably forever inside the freezer. If you buy the milled flax seeds you would need to store that in the freezer. Enjoy!

I store my chamomile in a tight glass canning jar within easy reach for daily use. I store the balance of the tea in my freezer in the bag it came in. Have had no problems here in Florida keeping it fresh this way. Barbara

Once opened it is best to store it in the fridge, but you could also portion it out and store the bulk of it in the freezer.

I would think in the freezer in zip locks would be the way to store them. A deep freeze would be even better than the freezer compartment of the refrigerator.

I store mine in the original bag away from heat and cold (cupboard works for me). there may be another method, I'm no expert but I figure you treat it the same as any other quality herb or spice. As long as it is kept dry & at normal room temp, should be okay. Hope this helps. I still love this wonderful spice same as the first time I tasted it!

I store mine in the freezer in airtight containers. Works OK, and it should prevent all nasty critters. Mine hasn't gotten soggy or anything after a few months of this. BTW, I recommend NOT buying this much masa unless you're sure that your needs are awfully high. I'm regretting buying so much. 50 pounds is way more than I expected.

Once it has been opened it should be kept in the frig as I recall. I would call the manufacturer or look on the label if you are not sure.

Hi, MarieV, yes you can keep these seeds in the freezer if prepared properly. Our downloadable PDF planting, storing and sprouting guide gives you all the information on how to properly prepare the seeds for freezing. Our seeds are packaged in a controlled environment, so if you don't open them, they are prepared for freezing. You should simply place them into a canning jar or an old pickle or spaghetti jar (these have lids that reseal adequately). Then you can place them into the freezer and they can last up to a decade or more. Seeds that are properly prepared and stored can last a long time as indicated by the date palm seeds found in archaeological digs from King Herod's time. Being around 2000 years old at least one was allowed to be tested by planting and it produced a date palm. I hope that answers your question and thanks for asking.

While freezing the cannister probably won't do any harm, it is really designed for storing your whole beans at room temperature. I am very happy with the way it keeps my beans fresh for a long time. I keep them in a cabinet at room temperature.

I asked this question of the manufacturer myself and it stores nicely in the freezer. That's where I keep mine.
