Are they packaged airtight? I couldn't tell from the way the bag looks. Buying bulk. Thanks!

If I remember correctly the lentil were actually inside a plastic bag secured with a twist tie. The bag is quite nice. But I store my bulk items in glass jars after I get them as I have found plastic bags aren't always enough to ward off pests.

They are packaged in a cloth drawstring bag so not airtight. It's my second time ordering because I'm very pleased with the super high percentage of sprouting.

The bags I have stay sealed. What I do is put stuff in the bag, seal it then turn it upside down and shake it. They haven't opened yet. Hope this helps.

Ours were packaged in groups of 5. I agree with Karen... When you open a package keep the ones you aren't using in a ziplock bag, squeezing out excess air. I would say that they would last a while this way because there will be no odors to absorb.

No! Mine came loose in a plastic bag. Looked like some kind of wholesale repack. NO air-tight HARD-plastic container as pictured in the ad above. :-/ Be aware of which seller you buy from. My plastic bag pack came from a company called E a s t E m p i r e. If you want a plastic container, shop elsewhere!

They are packed very well. I buy these on subscription, so have received probably five cartons so far. Each bag is filled with air and packed well. No crushin' going on! Enjoy!

They are only airtight in the foil pak they come in. But they are indivisually wrapped tightly in a non-airtight plastic wrapper. You would have to put each in an airtight bag/container to prevent them from becoming soggy.

No need for refrigeration, they've lasted a couple of weeks in the pantry opened....(it comes in a .zip resealable bag). I've never had a bag no longer than two weeks before it was fully eaten, and they were still very fresh...

Yes, they are airtight. I use them though for flavored water, not juicing. They do seal very well.

The box of bags I received last week (week of Feb 8, 2015) says: Guaranteed Fresh Until 14 AUG 15.But as it's a sealed bag and there's really nothing to spoil, I would pay absolutely no attention to it and it does not say anything about spoiling, only freshness.

No, not airtight. I only fill mine 1/4 full and store remaining beans in original bag or in another airtight container. I use a strip of press & seal between lid and bowl to help keep beans fresh.

The package that the oxygen absorbers come in is airtight.Each packet is not.I use my food saver with a jar attachment to put all i did not use in a mason jar and remove the air this way each time you use them they are fresh.I also put a silica jell pack into the jar as extra protections.Before i did this i used a zip lock bag or a jar with lid ,the indicator changed in about 2 months whereas the vacuum packed jars i have almost a year and the indicator is unchanged.

Hi Donna, the canisters just have a seal along the edge. They are not air tight. The lids fit loosely on each one. I keep pre made coffee filters in them for the week and they always stay fresh and perfect. I love them so much and they look beautiful. I hope this helps a bit.Debbie

They are not sealed. Even if you buy in the store. Not sure why but they are fine. Amazing product for the cost.

Andrew ... I ordered a case of 12 back in March of this year,date on the individual inner packs was 3-20-2014 Soooo thats plenty of time to devour these .I'm just now on the last inner pack and its as fresh as the first one I opened.If you keep them in a cool dry place you should have no problem with the freshness.I did put them"inner packs" in zip lock bags for good measure though "just in case ".This seemed to work great for me.Hope this helps.I'm getting ready to order another case,these taste great and are good for you too.Order and ENJOY!

Yes, they are. However, I still sealed everything up with a mylar bag before putting on the lid. They are very high quality buckets/lids that seal up very tight and once sealed, have a one time use pull strip to open them again. The lids will go on again without the pull strip...but I wouldn't think it would be air tight without that strip.

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.
