to clarify-this ghee can be stored unopened for 1 year in a fridge, but unopened only 2-3 months? How long can an open jar be stored unrefrigerated/
1882433
I just received my jar and am looking at the storage directions now. "Best By 10/2014. Store in a cool, dry and dark place. Use within 3 months after opening or refrigerate." So what this says to me is that, unopened, it's best by October 2014 (10 months from now). Once opened, it should be used within 2-3 months if stored in a cabinet (someplace dark and cool), OR it can be refrigerated to last longer, although it doesn't specify by how much.

Not clear what you are asking. My reading implies ghee should be stored at room temperature in a dark place. The thing with ghee is that you want to protect it from water so as to keep it from getting rancid, so I would not store it in the frig as condensation may build up. It gets rancid when water is introduced at any point. I have not noticed a time limit when it has been opened and stored at room temperature.

They recommend refrigerating an open jar. It only lasts 3 months in the fridge after it is opened.

Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 months. In the refrigerator, it can last up to a year.

Pure Indian Foods has a FAQ on their website. I found it by using the keywords "ghee unopened". They use the rule I was taught. You can exceed the "best by" date if the product has no odd change, odor or appearance. My grandmother never went by the expiration dates. If it tastes, looks or smells "off" discard.

The ad says 2-3 months at room temperature after you open it, or open and refrigerate to make it last a year. I open mine and store it in a kitchen cabinet. I usually use it up in about two months, and it has been as good when almost empty as it was the day I opened it. It stays fresh for several months at room temp, so don't worry about that. With the milk solids out it is just oil, so it is comparable as if you had a jar of olive oil in the cabinet. It lasts quite a long time too, and you don't refrigerate olive oil...or at least I don't

The shelf life of Peak, whole milk powder is listed as two years unopened. I've had an open container for three months with no evidence of deterioration; the reconstituted product remains pleasing to eye and tastebuds for at least three days under refrigeration. I am well pleased with the product; it also mixes and dissolves nicely with water.

We had it for about 3 weeks before we used it. It says to not keep it in the fridge, so I just stored it in the pantry.

My product was purchased before Christmas and I've kept it refrigerated since the purchase. The package clearly states "refrigerate after opening" I looked at the individual jar in order to answer this question. The side of the lid says Best used by Oct 2014.

I've found that just storing it in a cool dry place is better than putting it in the refrigerator. Refrigeration causes moisture to develop over time. You don't want moisture in your powder. It usually takes me 1-2 months to use one container, so I'd contact the manufacturer if you planned to leave it unsealed for more than that. Hope that's of some help.

Yes, you can store it unopened in a pantry. I haven't tried storing it in the freezer or in mason jars. But once opened I keep it in the fridge.

As the milk solids have been removed, ghee doesn't go rancid as rapidly as ordinary butter does, so refrigeration is not so essential. However, it will extend its life, so it's worth keeping opened shop-bought ghee or homemade ghee in the fridge.

They have an excellent website that will answer all your questions. But as I understand it...it will not go bad if left unrefrigerated BUT it is best if you freeze the unused portion...leaving it out will not make it go bad...refrigeration is good of course...freezing it is best/ I take the powder to work with me...it is unrefrigerated for 12 plus hours and it is fine.

It depends on the seed and how it is stored. Different species store for different periods of time. The jar keeps air out to slow down oxidation and degradation although if they are stored in the light and warm air, they may not last as long. We stored ours in the freezer/fridge for 2 years and they still germinated this year (the herbs).

Unopened bag will store almost indefinitely keep it in a cool place. I put the open bag in a mason jar and have stored it in my refrigerator up to two years without noticeable deterioration. Be sure to proof your yeast as you use it, that is the best way to know your rise will be right. Hope this helps, John

I kept mine in the fridge for a couple of months and then transferred to the freezer and it was there for 4 or 5 months. The shelf life is great if kept refrigerated. Great for cookies.

From my experience with this particular brand, once you open the spout you have a year at best, two years if you can tolerate some progressive degradation in its properties (thin viscosity becomes medium, then thick, then solid). I've also noticed that the less there remains in the bottle the quicker it degrades (due to air coming in at each subsequent use I would guess). I've stored unopened bottles in the fridge for over a year with good results, but once opened the clock is ticking.

Five or six months is fine, I think. Refrigerating extends the life by about a month I would say (though I've never had mine go bad really, just noticed a slight shift in scent).

Since it's a saturated fat oil, like ghee, it can last years though most people will try to use within one year. You can store in the refrigerator, but it will harden and be difficult to use so I keep mine in my cupboard. When I buy more than one though, I store one in the freezer or refrigerator.

Opened it says to use it within 7 days - but removal and storage is not recommended. Instead, the manufacturer says keep it warm during that time period. Not opened - its good for almost 6 months at room temperature.

I purchased this product to create meals in a jar for long term food storage. That's why it's in powder form instead of a liquid. I assume the shelf-life would be typical to any powdered spice - 1 year or longer depending how you store it. I use oxygen absorbing packets after opening which also extend the shelf life.

The unopened jar I have in my pantry at present has a 9/2015 expiration date. I think you would be safe to order now.
