How do you store them - esp an open pkg? Shelf, refrig, freezer?

I happen to have a vacuum packing machine, and I use that on a low setting so as to not crush the papers. I store them at room temperature.

Since they are dried until put into water, I just keep them in a baggie and have them on my pantry shelf.

I just make a slit in the top of the package, take out what I need and leave the rest in the plastic. Then I just store that in a gallon ziploc bag and store it in my cupboard.

I divide it into approximate thirds: store one-third in my pantry, and the other two containers in the freezer. The one in the kitchen pantry at room temp has stayed fresh for several months with no apparent loss of quality.

I've never stored anything in them. I only use them when I'm buying produce. Sorry.

I keep them on the small shelf in the top of my freezer folded into fourths ( the ones I've not cut, anyway). I have had no issues with sticking together. The unfold easily while frozen.

There was no info on storage so I left mine tightly sealed in a cabinet. I know the ones in pre made boxes are shelved so that's what I did... I can't imagine putting it in the fridge would be a bad idea though, so whatever you are comfortable with..

Either a full sized fridge or a chest freezer. I use a chest freezer turned into a fridge

I keep the unopened packages on a cupboard. Once opened I store the bag in the fridge - but I bought a large bag and didn't eat them quick enough and the got moldy - but that was after a few weeks in the fridge!

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.

I store mine in a plastic bag in a cupboard. It's been kept that way from several months with no problems.

I store mine in the coat closet by the front door--I just sit it on the floor so it is ready to grab and get out of the house. We added strike-anywhere matches, a can opener, and one dollar bills in a zip-lock to ours. I am thinking I may order the packs to carry in the cars as well. Not sure what the heat would do to the protein bars, though...they are probably like spam and could survive a nuclear attack.

I bought two 4 pound packages in January 2014. I refrigerate the opened bag, and the unopened bags are stored in my cooler basement. The bags have a 'sell by' date of 12/12/15 and do indicate that it keeps best refrigerated or frozen, but I think as long as they are not opened, they should be fine on shelf. Considering how long they might sit on a retailer's shelf, I think regular storage is fine as long as used by sell by date. I have not had any problems with this approach, and consume about one bag per month.

what is the best way to store? in the past a drop of water in a bag in the fridge would keep it moist to pop better, any other suggestions about best storage re: freshness:-)

i keep mine in the orignal package to protect them and they store better, i really love these and use them all the time and having the different sizes is really handy hope this helps.

I refrigerate them in the bag they came in. Take out what you need and let them warm before use. I dip them in clonex solution before use

You can store the unopened packets in the cupboard or pantry. Once a packet is opened, you will need to refrigerate the uneaten remainder.

I would store them like you would pasteurized. I soak and dehydrate mine then store in the refrigerator. They would do do fine in an airtight container in the pantry too.

I place it into a clear "Lock & Lock" container that has a rubber seal top that clips on , or you could use a Ziploc bag inside a widemouth canning jar with a sealing lid and screw top. I have kept mine for well over two years, keeping all the extra boxes inside a Ziploc bag and stored in a waterproof 5 gal bucket w/lid somewhere cool but dry. Good luck E. J.
