I don't know how long they might keep. I use a can of this every month. I store mine on the pantry shelf.

3 to 6 months depending on the manufacturing date and what the manufacturer ships to the warehouse. We've had cartons turn up with as little as 8 weeks life on them. Because this is a perishable product, it is best stored in the refridgerator and we recommend that you plan on consuming the full product within 8 weeks. If you get a box with a longer use by date on it then treat it like you just won the lottery. But plan on getting at least 8 weeks life out of each box.

I still have some left over from last year in an air tight container and they're still as fresh as the day I bought them, still crunchy. So it depends on how and where you store them. They are composed entirely of sugar which is effected by moisture and air. So its up to you on the shelf life. Put them in an open bowl in an even remotely moist environment and they wont last a week. Unless you like them without the crunch and soft.

My church encourages food storage for emergencies (loss of job, natural disasters, etc) and their website says that although nutrients do decrease a bit over time, wheat can store for 30+ years and "will help sustain life in an emergency." www.lds.org/topics/food-storage/longer-term-food-supply That said, on another website called provident living, wheat was given a shelf life of 15 years when stored at "room temperature" which is still pretty great. In my experience, after opening my wheat, I still keep it in a bucket with a gamma lid and I have never noticed a decline in the quality in the time that I have used it (over 2-3 years). I do wait to grind it until I'm going to use it, because the nutrients do decrease rather quickly after grinding it. Sometimes I'll store freshly ground wheat flour in the freezer to preserve the nutrients longer. Hope that helps!

I have no idea. They are dried so they can be stored over a long period of time. You would have to contact the company.

I store mine in the refrigerator and they seem to stay very fresh, they should be good for about a year.

I store them for up to a year but there is a shelf life date on the bottle.

This is what I have learned about storing Xanthan Gum... It is recommended to store our xanthan gum in tight containers in a cool and dry place. Recommended temperature around 85 degrees and shelf life is a minimum 2 years if stored as mentioned above.

I have stored them in milk in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. I've heard they can go longer. I also have some frozen in milk also, as I've heard you can do (though I haven't tried using them yet.)

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.

My bag says to store in a cool dry place, and that they keep "best" in fridge or freezer. If you are thinking 25 years, then they would probably need to be frozen. The expiration date on my bag was stickered over, so I can't tell what it is. Maybe the manufacturer would have more precise info on shelf life.

in the refrig. probably several months but you should soak them for 24 hours, blanch them, and eat them. Dehydrate if you have one, they get crunchy

They have a long shelf life. I just keep them unopened in the pantry. Once opened, I store the opened bag in a gallon ziplock bag for several months with no problem.

You wouldn't have any problems if you buy them now. They should be stored in a refrigerator, this way bacteria will not grow. They do come sealed, but still the best way to store them. Make sure to get them to room temperature before you use them. This was a very interesting experiment, your grandchildren will love it!

When you receive them there is instructions on storing. But I'm sure it says in a cool dry place not necessarily in the refrigerator should keep for a few months. I ordered some months ago and didn't use them yet and they look fine. Hope that helps.

I've read that the shelf life is at least a year, most likely up to two if it is kept well sealed and in a relatively cool area. I've been impressed witht the packaging on BulkSupplemts products; they seal well and are not prone to ripping, so you should be good to have them sealed and in a cupboard for extended periods.

I am not an expert, but everything I have read said that the shelf life if stored properly is between 3 to 5 years.
