Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 I have decided to resume the SCD diet after a long break. I have some almond flour in the deep freezer that I purchased at least 1 year ago, possibly longer. I am wondering how long you can store almond flour until it goes bad. There's about 20 lbs in there and I'd hate to toss it, but if it's no good I don't want to use it. Thanks Tory Emery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 The following passage comes from the USDA Food and Safety Inspection Service website at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets/ Focus_On_Freezing/index.asp#2 Lots of FAQs about food safety and freezing. Length of Time Because freezing keeps food safe almost indefinitely, recommended storage times are for quality only. Refer to the freezer storage chart at the end of this document, which lists optimum freezing times for best quality. If a food is not listed on the chart, you may determine its quality after defrosting. First check the odor. Some foods will develop a rancid or off odor when frozen too long and should be discarded. Some may not look picture perfect or be of high enough quality to serve alone but may be edible; use them to make soups or stews. Cook raw food and if you like the taste and texture, use it. almond flour shelf life Posted by: " emery@...

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 This is good advice. It is safe to taste and smell it. I would be ruthless if it seems odd. Better to throw out a bag of expensive nut flour, than a recipe you've worked hard on that no one wants to eat. mom to -12 SCD 4/23/04 > > The following passage comes from the USDA Food and Safety Inspection > Service website at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets/ > Focus_On_Freezing/index.asp#2 > Lots of FAQs about food safety and freezing. > > > Length of Time > Because freezing keeps food safe almost indefinitely, recommended > storage times are for quality only.
