Do raw sesame seeds need to be refrigerated? How long will they keep in the kitchen cabinet if I don't refrigerate them?

I have kept raw sesame seeds in the cabinet for a long time, up to 12 months I think. They can get a little stale if you don't keep them tightly sealed. Refrigeration will make them last a lot longer I'm sure.

I keep mine in the freezer; any nuts and seeds with high oil content can go rancid. I've read they can be kept in a dark pantry for 3 months, refrigerated 6 months, freezer 12 months.

Honestly, I'm not sure. I keep mine in an airtight container in my pantry and so far have not had any problems. I use them so they aren't in the pantry for more than a few months.

I put mine in the freezer. I've used seed over the years and seen little degrading in germ rate. That's how the huge seed vault keeps em fresh.

No, it doesnt have to be refrigerated. The life is around 2 years after you buy them, the last i bought 6 months ago will expire in 2015

I did not refrigerate the flax seed, but kept (keep) it in a dark, dry cupboard. The expiration dates on the ones I purchased (maybe 2 years ago?) are Aug. 2015. Hope this helps!

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 store these in an airtight container (because they have an odor) in the refrigerator. Just before using, I measure several tablespoons out, rinse them(because they are rather salty), dry briefly on a paper towel, then coarsely chop them before stir-frying.

I first would like to state that Organic Traditions is a reputable company, that being said I usually just use these straight out of the bag, I store mine in the refrigerator to protect the delicate oil in them. I do not was my seeds and I have not sprouted these as of yet.

Yes, they do need to be refrigerated or placed in the freezer. I do not recommend buying this product at this price, however. This price is inflated compared to the $24.99 Babies R Us charges. It's a great product though.

If sealed I keep in my pantry. Once opened, yes then I put them in refrigerator.

They actually suggest refrigeration, but I order these in bulk in 25 lb boxes and store them in a large kitchen cabinet, and I can attest that they last at least a year. I would like to put some in my food storage but haven't tried it yet. I think if they're dry packed in foil pouches or buckets with an O2 pack, they would probably last quite a while. The big threat would be rancidity, but since they have a very low fat content, I think they'd be OK. I can't see why they'd be any different than TVP.

Doug, Your s'good muffins do not need to be refrigerated. Do store them in a cool, dry place if you have the self discipline not to eat them all right away :) Thank you for the question. Hope you enjoy your order! s'good muffin team

Of what I have read, it is not necessary to refrigerate. However, I do to maintain the potency and freshness. The vendor or manufacturer should be contacted for a more definitive answer.

Seeds stay fresh for 1-2 years and for up to five years in a dark dry place no warmer than 72 degrees. I store my seeds in canning jars with metal tops for best seal. You can store the seeds in mason jars inside the fridge or freezer for longer life span too.

It doesn't need to be refrigerated. Keep it like you do any other supplements - probably best in a dark cabinet.

I don't store my Vegg in the fridge. I kind of have a feel of how much to use depending on the recipe. For scrambled tofu I do my usual recipe and then mix some prepared Vegg in (maybe a tablespoon) or sometimes even sprinkle it from the canister (as you would salt). The Vegg alone won't make scramble.

Yes, this and other nut butters in jars need to be refrigerated once opened. Be sure to stir the contents thoroughly before placing in the refrigerator, and it is useful to put a tag with the date when opened on the top so you'll know how fresh it is!
