I keep mine in the frig because the hemp hearts have lots of 3, 6 and 9 omega oils. I know it takes up alot of room but you can also break it down into zip bags.

I do keep mine refrigerated to preserve the integrity of the product....I feel variations of heat and then cooler temps can make them rancid. Don't know prior conditions before receiving, but this is what I do.

Yes, definitely keep refrigerated for freshness and to protect the oils especially as the summer season is coming.

No. You do not need to refrigerate your HEMP HEARTS. They have a shelf life of up to 1 year, without refrigeration, even after the container is opened. There is enough natural preservative, in the form of Vitamin E, that keeps them from going rancid, naturally in average temperatures. (My local Whole Foods has them in the non-refrigerated bulk bin btw). HOWEVER, I personally refrigerate mine to extend the freshness and Manitoba Harvest recommends refrigerating them once opened.

Yes they are to be stored/kept in the fridge to keep fresh as possible as it is the EFA's in the seed that can spoil. If you kept them out I would not use the best before as a guide. Hope that helps.

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.

I don't, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't... we go through them pretty fast and our pantry is dry, dark and cool. Like any grain/seed/nut, they will spoil. Refrigeration should extend the shelf life, just make sure the container is tightly closed.

No they do not need to be refrigerated at all, and I've been using them for awhile now. Sure helps with menopause!

They do not require refrigeration, it says so right on the label. I keep mine in a gallon sized ziploc.

We kept them refrigerated after opening for a couple of months. Not sure how far you can push that.

I've never had to refrigerate them. Once opened I keep them in an air tight container.

I put them in the freezer when we're taking long trips and will need extra insulin. Fridge would be fine for keeping it from getting warm on hit days. Sometimes I only use one freezer pack

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

These are 'shelf stable'. You should refrigerate anyways for what is considered the maximum potency you can achieve.

They are freeze dried so refrigeration is not required. I ordered mine at Christmas last year and they are still fine.

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.

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.

I have used this product for years and I have never refrigerated them. The bottle says it is not necessary to refrigerate. I use this brand specifically for this reason. These are great when travelling.

No need. I would not leave it near a heat source but it does not go bad if not refrigerated.

Yes you can keep them in the refrigerator. I like them cold in the summer. Just pop a piece in your mouth and let it melt.

That is a very good and a very reasonable question. Sadly, none of the illustrations state explicitly any need for refrigeration or any other storage requirements or lack of. Mind you that I have powdered products that recommend or require refrigeration.

I haven't tried not refrigerating them but I think so long as they're in the sealed zip lock bag they'd do fine.

I think so -- but since all that is in there is coconut, they don't even need refrigeration. I have kept them in the fridge for several months with no problems, just to be safe.
