How To Store Flour

Here's How:

1. Put flour in strong plastic bag. If bag is packaged in paper, put the whole bag inside a plastic bag.
   
   
2. Remove excess air from bag.
   
   
3. Freeze flour for two days, 48 hours, to kill off weevils or insect eggs in the flour.
   
   
4. Store flour in plastic container with tight fitting lid. Keep in cool, dark place to prevent insects from getting at the flour and to prevent sunlight from spoiling the flour.

Tips:

1. Keeping flour in the refrigerator will prevent spoiling.
   
   
2. Keep your storage area clean to prevent insect infestation.
   
   
3. Multiple 5 pound bags of flour can be frozen individually and stored in a plastic lined, clean trash can with tight-fitting lid.
   
   

What You Need:

• Sturdy plastic bag.

• Large container with lid.
