I don't know how long they might keep. I use a can of this every month. I store mine on the pantry shelf.

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 have a long shelf life. I just keep them unopened in the pantry. Once opened, I store the opened bag in a gallon ziplock bag for several months with no problem.

I store these in the freezer and just take out enough for a week or two to keep in the refrigerator in an air-tight container. I've had these for several months and they are still fresh when I use them. I hope this helps. Enjoy!

This is what I have learned about storing Xanthan Gum... It is recommended to store our xanthan gum in tight containers in a cool and dry place. Recommended temperature around 85 degrees and shelf life is a minimum 2 years if stored as mentioned above.

I bought two 4 pound packages in January 2014. I refrigerate the opened bag, and the unopened bags are stored in my cooler basement. The bags have a 'sell by' date of 12/12/15 and do indicate that it keeps best refrigerated or frozen, but I think as long as they are not opened, they should be fine on shelf. Considering how long they might sit on a retailer's shelf, I think regular storage is fine as long as used by sell by date. I have not had any problems with this approach, and consume about one bag per month.

in the refrig. probably several months but you should soak them for 24 hours, blanch them, and eat them. Dehydrate if you have one, they get crunchy

Optimum shelf life for unopened rolled oats is up to 8 years. whole oat groats in air tight (which the brown bag is not) storage in cool dry place should be longer. I repackaged in vacuum containers and they smell wonderful when I open them.

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

My church encourages food storage for emergencies (loss of job, natural disasters, etc) and their website says that although nutrients do decrease a bit over time, wheat can store for 30+ years and "will help sustain life in an emergency." www.lds.org/topics/food-storage/longer-term-food-supply That said, on another website called provident living, wheat was given a shelf life of 15 years when stored at "room temperature" which is still pretty great. In my experience, after opening my wheat, I still keep it in a bucket with a gamma lid and I have never noticed a decline in the quality in the time that I have used it (over 2-3 years). I do wait to grind it until I'm going to use it, because the nutrients do decrease rather quickly after grinding it. Sometimes I'll store freshly ground wheat flour in the freezer to preserve the nutrients longer. Hope that helps!

The company told me not to freeze them when I inquired. The shelf life is very long-9 months, I think.

The shelf life is a long time. Depending on the brand and how it is stored it can last over a year. It should be stored in a cool dark place for the longest life.

I store mine in the freezer and just grab a handful every now and then. They've kept for months.

I store it in the fridge normally in the original bagand it keeps very well. As long as you keep it in an airtight container, cool/cold and dry it should be alright.

The seals are made by a heat bar and the bags are slightly melted and sealed together, I would think forever. The shelf life for dehydrated foods is greatly increased by vacuum packing. I don't know how long grains and fruit would last, it would probably depend on fat and/or water content.

I did. They will spoil eventually, and last longer if stored at a colder temp....with such a large container, I needed them to last as long as possible!

I had then on hand a short time, about two weeks and they were great. With them being made out of mostly sugar I would think they would have a good shelf life if kept air tight and in a cool place.Good Luck
