I have eaten a bag that was 4 years out of date and could not tell it from new.No it wasn't froze it was in a 5 gallon bucket in the basement.Now it had not been opened was just stored in what i call a grab and go bucket.Usually they are stamped with a use by date 18 months to 2 years out.I have no fear of this product 3 to 5 years or more past the use by date.A 10 lb bag has 16,000 calories add in a little sugar syrup(1 quart hot water 4 lb sugar tbs vanilla).For under 10$ you get over 24,000 calories.
That's a good idea. I use to store Pancake/Waffle mix but discovered the recipes for them are simple so now I just use my white flour and many times whole wheat flour to make them as I need them.
ReplyDeleteThe LDS stores white flour in #10 cans for 10 years. That's pretty good. They also say that should the flour smell a little musty sift it to re-introduce oxygen in it and that freshens it up.
Mike I always recomend this to new preppers because its a simple item they are use to.To a more dedicated prepper #10 cans of flour make more cents.Thanks for the sifting tip had'nt heard that before.
