Storage – Keep airtight in the pantry, away from sunlight and damp. Use a dry spoon to scoop out. Use within 3-4 months from opening. With a best before of two years from the manufacture date, coconut flour remains safe to use for even longer periods as long as it is stored with minimal exposure to light, air, and moisture.
