Good tips Jinne! One way that I’ve stored flour is to use my vacuum sealer. Initially
, I put the flour in a lunch sack then folded it over and put that in a vacuum seal bag then suck the air out. But I realized the process is much easier to put the original bag (opened but then folded up again) into a gallon sized vacuum bag. Then seal until the bag is as hard as a rock. It works great to do it this way! Of course, I freeze the flour first for several days but then I make sure the flour is completely thawed and has been left at room temperature for a day or two before placing into the vacuum bag. Don’t want moisture to get into the flour before sealing.

Now that’s good news to me! I’ve heard on many channels flour lasts no longer than a year? Even in Mylar. If it lasts longer I’m relieved! I just opened my sealed bucket that I put in Mylar with oxygen absorber. It was perfectly fine. I’m working thru it now.

Good evening jinni, I’m still using all purpose flour I stored over 6 years ago in canning jars .

I freeze my all purpose flour for about 24-48hrs, {wrapped in a food store plastic bag} then take it out, and let it defrost, {I'm in Florida with AC on to help with the humidity} and then just throw it in it's original bag into a plastic 2 gallon bag, Mark the date, and put it away. With flour from 3 yrs ago, I just baked bread with, and it's great. No taste change, no weevils!! I do the same with all grains, spices, and pasta. No more Mylar, but I DO rotate it as I need it. We had Aldi's flour for 99¢ for 5lbs about 2 1\2 to 3 years ago, so I got 15. It's kind of like money, in that it's now 3x as much. We make bread both in and out of a bread machine and THIS really works well. Thanks for showing people how to make self rising & Cake flour! My granny did it, Mother did it, now I do it. It's perfect.

YOUR TIPS ARE PRICELESS, JINNE !! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH. 🙂💖

Thanks Jinne. I have 100 pounds of berries in green leaf tea bottles with an Oxygen absorber. (Also beans and rice, about a pound each.) I purchase flour in 50 pound bags from a local miller. I make bread each month for the shut-in at my church. God Bless and stay safe.

Love the videos with tips. I do freeze my flour for a week or so before vacuum sealing in mason jars. But I guess just vacuum sealing would kill any bugs.

Most of my flours are in the freezer. I sure need to free up some that space. Thanks Jinne for the information. Pray, Plan, Prep

So glad to hear you write the little notes and then stick inside cabinet door. I have done this for years and it has helped me so many times! Great tips!

[gardengirl]

Thanks for the tips😃 I originally found you a couple of years ago while looking for “How to vacuum seal flour.” Been following ever since. You help in ways great and small. Love ya😘

[janeparker]

I put mine in brown paper bag and vacuum seal them or if it's a small 5 pound bag just seal it in the bag with your vacuum sealer.

[dawnbaker]

Thanks for the tips. With the price of bread going up and up, storing flour is smart.

Great video! I did not know anything about flour that you mentioned! Thanks for sharing! 💕

[ranelcravens]

Thank you for this video!! It really helped me!! I watch your videos daily!!

[compassion]

This was a great video. Very educational and I love the tip about sticking the basic recipe on the inside of the pantry door. Priceless ! I'm sitting here going, Why didn't I think of that? Thank you !

[Pack.Leader]

Cool. Very helpful, Jinne. I'm on keto but I hope to remember this for the future, if things get that bad.

[tolynette]

I learned that flour starts oxidizing as soon as it’s milled. I started storing wheat berries as I understand they are a forever food and nutritious. Now I grind my own, fresh.

[litag]

Thanks for all of the tips! I have some flour I recently put into mylar bags. I will use those first! I ordered an attachment for the canning jar lids for my vacuum sealer just now! I had been thinking about it for months & now I wish I hadn't waited! I also didn't know to sift the cake flour several times! I will do that from now on! I bake bread a lot. I made hot rolls yesterday & cinnamon rolls this morning!
