I always keep mine in a cool place. My cellar is about 45-55 degrees. Never had a problem. I keep it is a closed container. Hope this helps.

Good question this but I have not had that many in one go only 2 bags at one time and uses it every day but I see no harm in freezing them all as kept in the fridge and not quickly used up may go rancid and with freezing going rancid is unlikely. Freeze them all and the bag being used kept in freezer as well and taken out each time you need it. If you lived in a hot country freezing would be necessary as wheat can attract little mites and would go rancid quickly if kept in fridge over a long time but in a cold country freezing may not be necessary BUT I would definitely FREEZE them all. I am going to FREEZE mine from now on. Thanks for the question. (p.s. I bought the 8lbs for my sister in US through Amazon and will tell her toFREEZE them.)

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'm pretty sure that is just for the pic. I bought the 22lb bag a couple months ago and they are great! I recommend using a vacuum bag sealer and then throwing them in the fridge to keep em good. As a whole, they are great. Every so often I get one that is dried out, but I don't believe hat has anything to do with expiration. When I run out I will buy more

Hi, I LOVE this product! I normally use 2 1- gallon freezer bags. They freeze wonderfully and stay fresh in the fridge for weeks if they last that long:)

No need to freeze it. It's dried and powdered. Put the bag in a zip-loc and store it in a dry place. You're never going to get an accurate shelf-life. It will probably last years and years.

I buy the 1lb size and it clearly states on the label to keep it in a cool, dry place, which is what I do. I have 2 dogs and feed 1 tsp daily total also. I see no need for refrigeration and do not worry about shelf life.

I think 80 gauge is thinner than 8 mils. We use 4 mil bags and they are thicker than the wrap.

I bought 2 lbs of fresh turmeric here and since I use it daily..I froze one lb in small portions. It was fine

Yes, , due to the # of lbs this seller requires for purchase , there was too much to eat in one sitting so I froze it, wrapped it well and as air tight as I could get it, still have some left , can't remember when I bought it but last time I took some out it was as good as the day I put it into the freezer

Leave unopened in original packaging and put in freezer bag for extra protection from freezer burn. Should keep for at least a year. If opened already but uncontaminated, can freeze 6 months or so well-wrapped.

Depends on how long you plan to have then in the freezer. I have used the standard bags for short term storage like a month or so, but if it is going to be stored for several months I would go with the freezer bags.

Don't know. The bag is made of a flexible rubber, and so perhaps filling it 1/2 or 2/3 and then freezing it might work. If I wanted to do it, then I probably would experiment with freezing only a little water in in the beginning in case something goes wrong, and then increase the amount if successful. But no idea how long term, repeated freezing would affect it.

Not very much. I buy my tea in 1 lb bags and silly me I thought this would handle it being 16oz and all but my husband told me its not the 16 oz I was thinking lol! Anyway, I like them. They are airtight. I used them and filled them with the tea that I use everyday and kept the other in the bag and so I don't have to open it as often. My way of thinking is that it will stay fresher longer. Still looking for a canister that will actually hold a pound. I either get some like these, too small, or the flour canister, too big. If you find one let me know. ;)

I am not an expert, but I freeze the bag and take out and fill a shaker so it lasts longer! Hope this helps.

I dont know the shelf life of an un opened bag. I go through the 4 pounds about every 4 months and even the last one opened seems fresh as the first one. I have not had a problem with spoilage. They are dry seeds, dont see any need for refrigeration.
