What is the storage life for these seeds to remain vital: a) At room temperature. b) Frozen.

I can't remember for sure, but I believe it was about 5 years at room temp. and 15 frozen.

I keep dried beans, grains, nuts, and seeds in them in the freezer throughout the summer. Works fine. I have not used them for anything that contains water.

Maintain high germination by storing in a dry, cool place. Fridge or freezer is ideal. Use good freezer bag.

I didn't know, so I put mine in the freezer for 12 hours at minus 17 degrees F. They are still as soft and flexible as at room temperature! Amazing!

No necessary... I use a sealed large jar. It keeps them fresh for months. If you freeze them, seal them well from frost.

I store seeds in dry cool place with no sun, and they are good until gone. I stock 2 different varietes and use 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoon per batch once a week. My Amazon history shows I reorder every 3-4 months.

No. They are seeds. Like many seeds, these have a long shelf life, if kept dry. If you grind the seeds, then keep them in the refrigerator. inshaa'ALLAAH.

Oxygen and light and above say 45 degrees F------are all factors that may deteriorate the Superfood-------Freezing probably best? for long term storage-----probably needs nitrogen shot into container before sealing---use what they use to preserve partial bottles of wine----Here's a question for you----what about radioactive sea water in production process?

Best to eat them fresh, they tend to not hold up well when refrigerated or frozen. The best way to store long term is to leave them in the ground until ready to cook them.

I have stored a bag on my kitchen shelf for six months and it's still sprouting well when used. (I keep the bag closed so the seeds do not dry out.)

Hi Sarah, I just sealed the bag and put the bag on my kitchen countertop. The seeds are dry seeds. Some people put it in a glass / smaller container for easier access. It doesn't have to be refrigerated since the seeds are dry. Just need to keep them dry is the key for storing them.

Wouldn't know because we use them up quickly. But since they are dry to begin with, as long as you keep them dry, I would suspect that they would last for years and years. The are designed to remain moist when you plant the seeds and water them. I'd have no problem with storing the unused ones.

I know my husband stores seeds from year to year in the refrigerator. I haven't needed to store these seeds because I use them up quickly.

Yes I definitely freeze mine and they stay fresh for a very very long time.Ive tried a lot of hemp seeds and I find that the quality of these is really good!

It's the opposite. Freezing it PREVENTS it from losing any nutrients. It's the best way to keep the seeds at full potency. Especially if you grind them in advance. They don't actually "freeze" in the freezer and it keeps them from turning rancid. You should also make sure to keep them in an opaque bag so they aren't affected by light.

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 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!
