What is the shelf life of King Arthur Flour products?

The shelf life of King Arthur Flour products varies depending on the specific product. Generally, our all-purpose flours can be stored for up to 18 months, while specialty flours like whole wheat and rye have a shorter shelf life of around 6-12 months. Improper storage conditions, such as exposure to heat, moisture, or pests, can decrease this shelf life. To maximize freshness, we recommend storing our flours in a cool, dry place, preferably in an airtight container. It's also advisable to check the "Best If Used By" date printed on each package for more precise information. Remember, using fresh flour enhances baking results, ensuring the highest quality in your delicious creations.
