We've gotten much better over time at gauging how much we go through in a month so that we don't have lots of it sitting around. --Deb R

Pam We just 'assumed' that fridge would be a good idea - bulk bin didn't say anything (and it isn't refrigerated either). I don't think the fridge hurts it any and might help so we figured to err (if err we did) on the side of cooler is better for storing it. Whether it's necessary or not is another story. --Deb R

Since, most places have it in bulk containers, I think it just needs to be in a dry, cool place. I think I have heard a little over a year is the shelf life.

I purchased it in my regular grocery store which has a fair whole foods department, but my experience is that they person in charge of that department doesn't know much. Theodore...didn't taste it but it smells the same. Pam

I use it a lot in soups and other recipes, kale chips, etc. Never heard about refrigerating it, though, and never did. Just kept in the pantry.
