Flour and Sugar Storage

By Hklbrries

Dear Heloise: How long can I keep sugar and flour in a tightly closed container? Can I store them in a freezer? L Mills in Houston

Both sugar (granulated) and flour (all-purpose) can be stored in sealable plastic bags or airtight glass or plastic containers, and both can be frozen. However, before using, you will want to let them warm to room temperature. Interesting tidbit: sugar has an indefinite shelf life. For best flavor, though, it is recommended that you use brown sugar within six months of opening. Flour should be used by the "better if used by" date for optimum results.
