If I buy a 50 LB bag and put it in airtight glass jars, how long will it last. I do not want it going bad before I have a chance to eat it.

It's hard to say. As long as the moisture content is low enough, and factoring in the fact that the husks are eliminated, I would guess at least a year. If they are kept cool and in an airtight container I would suspect they could be kept for years and still be edible. I plan on eating mine up in about 15 months. I eat 50 grams a day, everyday, and I will bet the first ones will taste every bit as good as the last ones. In other words, as long as they don't mold, they will be just fine.

quite a while, we go through a bag in about a year but part of the oats are used by my wife as part odf a soothing bath routine. Steel cut oats are best for bathing compaired to regular (Quaker) oats. The oats cook up the same as the irish oats and are a lot less expensive. We store the oats in a giant aluminium pot with lid that is used to steam lobsters. It will hold 50lb +

I put mine in 42-oz Quaker Oats containers in my closet for almost four months, i.e., neither airtight nor cool temperature. It's still fresh and I do not find any quality issues.

I have been putting them into ziplock sandwich bags and then putting the sandwich bags back into the paper bag. I then put the whole thing in a deep freezer. You will get about 35 sandwich bags full out of your 50 lb bag. I only use 1/2 cup a day, so I get maybe 6 months out of a 50 lb bag. Been doing it for years without any problems. Sorry, I'm not sure about the jars. Any moisture in the form of humidity will cause problems.

I took it out of the bag and put it in jars. I've stayed sealed, you get a long time out of it.

I keep it in the plastic bag. I have a few different breads in there at any time. I do not know if it affects how long it stays fresh.

I would just keep the bag shut as air-tight as possible, away from moisture, and basically try to have it finished within one year, or I suppose two, but it will lose a little of its freshness by then.

I buy 6 bags at a time and usually don't get to the last one until a year later. I have never had any problems! Once I open a bag I put them in a jar with a tight lid to keep them fresh. If you do that they should last quite a while and still stay relatively fresh :)

I have stored it for a few months at a time. Especially, if you don't open the bag, it will stay fresh much longer. It should have an expiration date. It has always tasted fresh to me.

I store opened and unopened bags in an airtight container for months. If you're worried about it try storing bags in the freezer.

The contents of this bag should stay fresh for years, so long as the bag is not opened or punctured. This a multi-ply package that is heat sealed. Once you open it for use, you must put the remainder in another mylar pouch and heat seal closed or in a glass jar with a lid that will seal well. Also store this bag out of direct sunlight and heat above 80 deg F.

Probably indefinite. As long as it's kept dry there's nothing that can go bad, it's like storing sugar. If you're using it in recipes it won't last long enough to worry about shelf life.

I did this before when I got the bags, this time I ordered it they came in larger jars. If you do get the bags instead, just store them in a ziplock bag after you open them. I did this and they did not go bad.

I will oxidise over time. Store it in the freezer or refrigerator. Well sealed. Will last in the freezer for many years. But keep what you are using on a daily basis OUT of the freezer or at least in a smaller jar. Otherwise if there's much humidity where you are, the powder will take on some moisture each time you open the bag due to it being so cooled compared to the atmosphere. Meaning, don't use the big 5lb bag as your daily go-to source if you have it in the fridge or freezer. An old Nutrex 1lb spirulina jar is what I keep it in-topping it up from the bag every few weeks or so.

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

Sealed, it stays fresh pretty much as long as you would want, even if not kept in the refrigerator. I've never had any go bad, but I would guess months. Open, it will dry out, but I don't expect it to spoil.

I really don't know for sure but I've never had it go bad. I keep it in the fridge in a plastic container after I open it. I use it very sparingly and it seems to last for months. I would imagine it's the same before it's open. hope this helps.

As long as you keep it refrigerated -- I keep mine in the freezer until I transfer a new batch to a quart jar I keep in the fridge -- it will keep almost indefinitely. The loss of potency is minimal. I think my expiration date is some time in 2015. When you get your shipment, transfer it to Ziplock freezer bags -- two one-gallon bags will hold almost a whole 10-lb. order. Stick them in the freezer, and keep a smaller container in the fridge that you can get into easily every day. Works for me!

Well, I packed it in vacuum sealed 10 lb bags and it lasted for 5+ months. I don't know if this helps you or not. But that was our experience with the flour.

I just got a new package of it and on the bottom it says its good until 3/30/15 so I'm guessing that depending on when you get it depends on how long it's good for. As long as you keep it sealed in the bag it comes in it should be get for a while.
