Do you have to refrigerate before you open them? Or just store in cool dry place?

We opened ours immediatly after we got them, but they weren't shipped in any kind of temperature-controlled way, just a lot of packing tape and peanuts, so my assumption would be just a cool dry place. I hope this helps.

Even though they can be packed with ice, are they kept refrigerated while in storage before we even purchase them???

You do not have to refrigerate this product. The jar instructions say to store it in "a cool, dry" place--such as a pantry that is cool and dry. That should be sufficient.

I did not and stored them at room temperature. You do need to eat them all after they come out of the microwave, otherwise they are kind of greasy. Avoid burning them. They crackle and pop when you open the bag after they come out of the micro. It tasted good and was fun to make.

They don't need to be refrigerated, they live at room temp best, the fridge slows them down and puts them into a static zone. Bag it up with lots of ziplock packaging, put it in your checked baggage, may look weird and be hard to describe to security...haha.

They do not require refrigeration, it says so right on the label. I keep mine in a gallon sized ziploc.

They don't need to be refrigerated. I have used these in the Gobi Desert, Central America and the South Pacific. They had no problem holding up to heat. They of course should not get wet.

Yes, you should keep them refrigerated once you get them as clearly stated in the instructions in the package. I guess it's OK not refrigerating them for a short period of time. I have bought Kefir starter from a different manufacturer in Japan and they were sold unrefrigerated at a supermarket.

Grocery stores don't refrigerate them because the product doesn't need to be refrigerated until after the bottle has been opened. So, refrigerate after opening. Before opening, feel free to store it in the pantry.

No, not necessarily. They can be stored in airtight container until next use. They are very dry. I've had mine for months stored this way..

The directions call for it to be stored in a cool dry place. I do keep mine in the refrigerator.

It says to store in a cool and dry place. So, refrigeration should be OK, I think.

The bottle says "store in a cool, dry place, best if refrigerated after opening." I'm on my fourth bottle of PB8 and I've never refrigerated it. It seems to be fine.

I would say it depends on what your plans are. If it's going to be hot, I'd freeze them, if it's not, refrigerating them would be sufficient.

Like other tahini I have, the rule of thumb is to store in a cool, dry place after opening. Like peanut butter.

I leave them in the bag they came in and leave them in the pantry. I use mine pretty quickly so don't have them for long. However, I would imagine since they are dried you can store same way for a longer period.
