The bag will have the flour's expiration date printed right on it. It's usually about 6 months out from the time of purchase (or it as been so in my experience with purchasing the flour through Amazon. I keep mine in a large airtight jar and it stays fresh through the use-by date, and probably longer if it were to last that long in my house.

I store my bag (rolled tight, and chip clipped) in my pantry. I've had my bag for abt 6 months without any obvious flavor change.

I keep one portion in a sealed container in my kitchen. The rest I put in gallon freezer bags in the freezer. I usually use the entire 25 pounds in less than a year and have never experienced any loss of freshness or quality. The flour can probably last indefinitely if stored properly in the freezer.

I kept it more than a year past the use-by date, with smaller portions in a tupperware container on the shelf as I used it, and the rest in its bag inside a five gallon plastic bucket in a dark closet.

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.

We keep it in the original bag out of heat and sun.Dont know shelf life because it doesn't stay unused long. Hope this helps you God Bless �

The shelf life is the "best to use by date" found on most products. So you may not get the results you are looking for when using that product. I generally discard products after that date. Hope this is helpful to you.

It's best stored in a cool dry space. I keep mine sealed in a thick freezer ziplock bag.

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

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.

The shelf life is about 2 years. They will last longer if you store them in an airtight container.

The shelf life is well over a year. This is a product we are going to continue to stock. It does well for us.

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.

The instructions say to store below 71 degrees, best if refrigerated - I have used them for a week or so whilst travelling and they seemed fine

Of course the shelf life depends on temp you store at, how frequently that temp fluctuates and a whole bunch of other variables that you have control of but they say 25 years and the freeze drying and packaging make me believe that long is possible.

We used it right away so can't tell you about shelf life. I suggest contacting the company. Sorry.

The "date best used by" has always been at least one year from the date I've purchased these. I am not sure about the "shelf life" because they ALWAYS get eaten within a few months - I buy them by the case. I store them in the cupboard in the kitchen, and they have never lost their crispiness, flavor or any quality.

I'm in agreement with Mr. Milligan, somewhere near forever. In all cases, shelf life is affected by extremes in temperature. Personally, I try to rotate similar products on a 2 to three year cycle.

expiration is Nov.2015 but most everyone knows,if something is sealed properly,kept in a cool dark place,they can last for several yrs. Hope this helps. These jars are sealed tightly,keep them out of the light,& temps for storage should be between 40-60 degrees. I prefer 45 degrees for my storage.

I haven't owned it that long, about 6 months. But before purchasing, I researched it and most say it has a shelf life of about 10 years if stored properly. Don't break the seal and keep in a dark place, fairly cool and a pretty steady temperature. I repackaged mine in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers which greatly increases shelf life for most dried products. Hope this helps.
