How long will an unopened bag last in the freezer? Thank you!

I buy the 4 pack and leave the unopened bags on the pantry shelf for months. It is just like any other grain. I never bother to freeze it. I imagine it would last twice as long in the freezer

I imagine it will last a very long time...it's like storing walnuts in the freezer--the freezing stops the oil from going rancid.

I keep mine in the fridge after opening and only grind right before using. The bag lasts me slightly less than a month, so I never have any freshness issues.

I store unopened bags in my freezer. I refill a mason jar as needed, and keep the mason jar in my refrigerator. I have never had a problem with it. If you want to store it without low temperatures, you may want to contact Red Star and ask them.

No need for refrigeration, they've lasted a couple of weeks in the pantry opened....(it comes in a .zip resealable bag). I've never had a bag no longer than two weeks before it was fully eaten, and they were still very fresh...

I've been buying the one-pound bag for years, 3 pounds at a time. (I'm wicked addicted.) I keep them frozen, and don't notice any deterioration over a three-month period. About once a week I put enough in a sealed jar to last me about the week.

I store both opened and unopened packages in the refrigerator. After opening the bag, I fold shut and reseal the open end with a bag clip or a large rubber band, then I place it in a one gallon plastic zip bag, press out the air and seal. This keeps it moist since it may take months to use a bag.

I had opened a bag of this and used a small portion. I stored the remainder in a double zip lock bag. It lasted the for the 3 weeks it sat before I finished it. As for how long over all I can not give you a definitive answer on that part of your question. Make sure to keep it dry and I would think you would be ok.

I would like to know if this can be frozen, and not change the attributes of the product. Also, what is the shelf life if unfrozen?

We keep it in a zip lock bag with the air pressed out. I can say it lasts at least 7-10 days, but we usually have it all eaten by the 10th.

Unfortunately, the bag is not resealable. I simple repacked it into an old PB2 bottle than used a family member's bag sealer machine to store the rest. I think its shelf life will aide it to last a few months as long as you don't introduce it to moisture. I have stored it in the pantry for a few months in mason jars and it was fine by me. :)

Refrigerated after opening in a sealed bag. It should last until you use it up.......

It should be good for a year. I keep my unopened bags in the freezer where they last indefinitely.

Sorry for the tardy response: I purchased three 1 lb 11 oz bags. Two are stored in the freezer and the one I am using is in the frig. I can find no expiration date on the bags. Possibly the box had one but that went into the trash long ago.

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.

I believe the bag is air tight, but not airless. Also I've never noticed them go stale at all from being in the open air for months.

Hello, I keep the opened bag in the freezer (in glass jar) and un-opened in pantry.Yeast are working very good.

I put mine - bag clipped with clothespin - into a gallon ziplock and into the freezer (thinking that will keep it fresher). I would think it would easily fit in a quart-size glass jar - actually even smaller. I'd make sure it was an air tight jar.
