What is a good way to store this so I can make sure it doesn't go bad or get infested with food moths?

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.

I have packed it in quart canning jars with lids tight and stored in a dark cupboard. It seems to work fine. Good luck. I love the masa.

I just use the entire bag right when I get it. It makes a little over 2,000 tortillas. I then throw a giant tortilla party and invite as many people over as possible to my apartment. We then binge together on tortillas while listening to Ray Charles and talk about simpler times. Hope that helps!

I filled a 5 gal food-grade bucket with a good chunk of the flour (probably close to 25lbs although you can get more if you shake it real good to make it settle), threw in some oxygen absorber packets, and sealed it with a Gamma Seal. Then I split the rest into airtight 1-gal glass jars, some in the freezer, some in the fridge. I scoop from a fridge container, and when it's empty replace it with one from the freezer.

Hello Romelle, Try using a couple of packets of the Herbal Moth away in your containers. We live in Florida and we have to store many items in the garage or attic. These packets I think keep items smelling fresh, just wish I could find them in the store. Hope this helps. Karen R.

I store them in the pantry. I have never had a problem since they are dehydrated and will keep a very long time.

I store mine in a plastic bag in a cupboard. It's been kept that way from several months with no problems.

No -- it is really meant to ferment kitchen scraps and should be kept relatively airtight while it is "cooking." I am pretty sure worms would die in there.

I store mine in a plastic trash can with a lid then spray it with Lysol to keep Oder down.

In a cool, dry place. Seal them in some way to keep the little critters away. Your refrigerator would also be a great place to store them. They keep for a really, really long time if you're careful with them.

I have had it for over a year and keep it in a container in the refrigerator. You can also keep it in a freezer and it should last lfor quite a long time.

I keep mine in the bathroom cabinet . Lasts me a couple months. Haven't had trouble with it going bad. May not be a bad idea though to keep it in the fridge, especially if its not used quickly. Cooking oils can go bad if left out for too long .

I store mine as I do good loose leaf tea, in a sealed airtight container at room temperature away from heat or direct sunlight. I hope this helps.

The bag has a zipper down the middle of the front of the bag. You could add cedar blocks to protect from moths and then zip shut.

I, too, kept mine inside. I do know that the worms don't do well with prolonged very high (90+) temperatures. I would definitely keep them in a the shade, or perhaps in a garage, during the hottest part of the summer. Good luck.

It probably would keep out moths. I got the thick plastic shelf liner, too. If I was concerned about moths, I would also use cedar blocks to repel them.

I keep mine on the counter next to my stove (which happens to be gas). I personally would not store it in a microwave or in a gas stove.

I found a very large glass container with a screw top lid and store them in that. Storing them in the fridge or freezer is also effective.

I assume you're asking about storage when it is not hot enough to be needed. Keep it in the freezer, will stop mildew and bacteria.

Best way to store it is in a plastic tote so as to not compress it. Keeping it compressed over extended periods does indeed harm this insulation. Keep it dry and expanded, and stuff it for travel.
