Can this be re-constituted and used as a puree? What is the shelf life of the can unopened?

I believe that the expiration date is one year. I haven't tried to re-constitute the powder but I have tried adding it to puree and it enhances the flavor.

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

I would like to know if this can be frozen, and not change the attributes of the product. Also, what is the shelf life if unfrozen?

I do not think so. What I do, is to transfer it to a mason jar and it keeps fresh for couple of months.

Hi there, it is a fermented product and can be stored in a cool place like your pantry. It's shelf life will last for years, however, after 2 years I would dispose of . You can freeze it without impact to flavor or texture. Hope this helps, let me know.

The longer you store it, the more the flavor will deteriorate. You can freeze the whole bag and take it out before you start using it, if you like. I wouldn't plan to keep it longer than 3 months.

It's good for at least five years after the printed expiry date. No kidding,I found out from personal experience when I opened a can from a forgotten stash with an expiry date of 1994 -in 2001. Being rather intrepid,I decided to mix a batch and it was perfect. (In retrospect,maybe I was just lucky but it was still fine. No one noticed anything different anyway)

My bottle does not say it should be refrigerated after it's opened. Perhaps the other responder was referring to another brand? I found this brand to be far superior to powders, particularly those that mix in artificial sweeteners.

It has a long shelf life if unopened. After opening it's recommended to refrigerate and use in three days. My experience when ordering from Amazon is expiration dates almost a year out.

As I recall, Coconut Oil can get rancid after a while, but I use this product on skin and hair, as a makeup remover and conditioner so it never lasts very long in my house. I would think you could refrigerate it to extend shelf life. If you are using it for cooking, after several months I would make sure that the flavor has not been compromised, but typically I have had no problems with this. Excellent product and so many ways to use it. The fact that there is no expiration date on the jar indicates it has longevity but there are also no preservatives in this product.

Hello JeanneB, I have not tried what you are asking about, but from what I have read so far, as long as the food in the container does not thaw when you remove it from the Freezer, it should be OK to re-seal and re-freeze for later use. I believe that since you have opened the food to new air and contaminates, the shelf life will have been compromised, but if you use the food up within a reasonably short amount of time, you should be fine. The FoodSaver sealer is very handy for re-sealing those foods that you didn't use all of.

I opened a can in December 2013 and now I'm not sure I should use the rest of it now in mid-March, even for myself. The powder looks fine but I wonder if it would make me sick. It is an expensive product and I don't want to throw it away.

10 year shelf life un opened. Once opened 1 year shelf life. It is like beans or pasta in Mylar and O2 eaters. Once opened it starts to degrade. I have 2 cans for SHTF.

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.

Might be the date it was made. My can says 111313-05. If you look on the bottom of the label it has a "best used by" date and sealed shelf life:3 years. Unsealed 2 months. Hope this helps

I don't see an expiration date on the can. I am keeping it in the refrigerator.

sorry, don't know this from personal experience just stored unopened on shelf. but when i open it i put it into a screw top jar and keep it at room temperature. i do normally use a full pouch before the "best used before 3-4 month" suggestion. HOWEVER,the instructions do say to refrigerate after opening after pressing air out of pouch and sealing tightly. it also says can be frozen to extend shelf life.
