How long do they stay fresh? Will freezing them improve nutrient life?

Yes, freezing them gives them a longer shelf life. We freeze them, tightly sealed, and they stay fresh for several months. We take out small supplies to use, keeping them in a jar with a tight lid.

The bag has a ZIP lock. I squeeze all the air out before closing. I also store it in the fridge. This bag barely lasts a month for a single user.

My husband and I have used several bags of these, and they always seem to be fresh till the end. We have two shakes a day with these in them, so we go through them pretty fast. I am not sure about the freezing.

I keep my bag of hemp hearts in the refrigerator once I open the bag. Keep,in ind, however, that I use it daily.

We have never stored them in the freezer, but keeping them in the refrigerator prolongs the shelf life...

Yes I definitely freeze mine and they stay fresh for a very very long time.Ive tried a lot of hemp seeds and I find that the quality of these is really good!

I never even put them in the fridge. Since they are freeze-dried they stay good as long as you seal it. I got it in december and they are still good!

I have a had mine stored in my freezer for two years now. Haven't had any problems with them. Don't plan on taking them out for at least another 3 years so it will be 5 years total when I will open and use. That will be the true test of time so far on my list. But if these are true heirloom seed, they should be able to last a lot longer than that.

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!

Not sure. I did freeze mine but haven't defrosted them yet. I hope they taste alright. I will post when I do defrost them though. They are the same kind that Whole foods and Trader Joe's sell in small containers. They are not that mushy and they were the hit of my party. Everyone loved them!!!

I put mine in gallon zip lock freezer bags and press the air out each time I open them. Seems to still be fresh3 months later

The expiration date depends on the date on the package, which is usually around a year I think... You just have to put them in refrigerator once opened, other than that they don't need to be cold. They do taste better cold though, and partially frozen is good too.

They last a very long time, i too have a foodsaver and i prefer to vacuum seal it that way last forever and no funny burns or ice inside the package and after i freeze them, hope it helps.

I store mine in the freezer. I would imagine if they are sealed properly they will keep Indefinitley, mine have been in the freezer for a year or so and are as good as the day I put them there.

I would think so as long as they have been kept in a dry place I've had mine for over 2 years I've kept them in mason jars though so I can see any decay and they seem to be fine and still taste fresh. I think because they are dried they have a substantial shelf life

Hello J. Tullier!I'd think any of those would be fine.....think of them as a raisin....which could be stored all 3 ways w/the freezer extending the life the best!

Yes...all are frozen. I don't know the lifetime but I generally go through them in 60 days and have to reorder. I mix them with apple juice that I make and frozen bananas and top it with granola...AMAZING!

Mine are older, dried stays pretty well. But I actually freeze anything dried I'll use only small amounts off, I've kept dried fruits in freezer a very long time.

They last a long time. I still have some left from a Sept. 20th wedding. Not in the frig or freezer. They may be able to freeze. Test a couple first, freeze, then thaw, the biggest problem is sweating while they thaw. But my Jordan almonds are 5 months old and still taste good.

Depends on how you store them. Fridge up to 2 years, freezer gives you many more years. Google search will give you more info.

We've had them four months and they've been fine---still fresh and crisp. Once I open a package, I keep it in a zip lock bag. We usually use it up within two weeks.

I would think they would freeze well. I used them fairly quickly, so I didn't have to freeze them. I will tell you they were not all intact when they arrived. It didn't matter for my purposes, but just saying.
