I have some of these in my freezer, but need to take them out to free up some space. Will they dry out completely, and can I rehydrate them again?

They can be rehydrated and reused. They will dry out but not become flat like originally.

Don't really know either answer but would not worry. We have yet to need to rehydrate ours, but it ought to be possible. Don't worry. Just do as you need to.

I believe so, I put mine in the freezer all the time. I make a large batch, freeze and take out when I need them.

These are re-freezable ice packs, not the one-time use chemical ice packs. Just pop it in the freezer for a few hours and it will be hard as a rock and ice cold for a few hours use.

Do you mean after they've been opened? Because otherwise there'd be no reason to freeze them since they're in cans which should last years and years if unopened. So, if I did get that right, I see no reason why you can't freeze some of this maybe even in a small Tupperware or plastic bag with the air sucked out of it. If you haven't had it already, it's really really good stuff. Enjoy!

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

How about storing it in the freezer after you empty it? might get brittle though...

No, not necessarily. They can be stored in airtight container until next use. They are very dry. I've had mine for months stored this way..

Yes you do wet them and then freeze them. They stay frozen a super long time if you use them with one of the Polar Bear Coolers

I opened mine right away, so I'm not sure, but after I opened them, they were starting to dry out, so I put the opened bag into a jar. That was a couple months ago, and they are still fine. If they start to mold, let them dry out a little to store them longer, put them in some sugar, where they will dry and flavor the sugar, or freeze them.

I just have them sitting in a plastic tray in a bathroom cabinet drawer. They don't dry out or anything.

I don't think so, I would think you would need the heat to dissolve the freeze dried pieces. However, I have never tried so I don't know for sure. Perhaps it would take a much longer time, but could work?

My son kept some in a container after he made the "snow", for over a month and it never changed. We haven't ever tried to dry it out

I have stored them just like how they come and have had no problems. If they do dry out a bit you can rehydrate them with a little soak. I stored mine in the cupboard. Happy gardening!

No!! They are fully dried and do not need refrigeration, at any time while they are in the dry state. Once you add water and re-hydrating them yes they need to be refrigeration.

They are not air tight - liquids seep out if you turn them on the side. I use them in the frig and for pantry storage but have never used them in the freezer.

They would probably be OK for a short time in the freezer, maybe 1 or 2 days. These wax bags do not seal, so the air may get in and cause freezer - burn.

Hey Susan, it's never recommended to put your beans in the freezer. Dries them out. This keeps them pretty fresh. I've got a couple of them!
