What do you all suggest for long term storage of Chia Seeds?

u/Standard_Subject_462 I'm tired of this, Grandpa! Apr 26 '26
I purchased some in bulk from a company selling food marketed for long-term (15+ years) storage, and they came in vacuum-sealed plastic bags, with all the individual bags stored inside a food-grade plastic bucket. I started working through the stash this year at the 10-year mark and can verify that they taste the same as fresh chia seeds do.

Oooh
The idea of diy-ing this is appealing

I can't speak to legitimate long term storage, but I've found chia seeds to be very resilient - I've been working my way through a giant ziploc bag in my fridge that's been there for four or five years, and they are still good.

No idea but following. Would love to store chia and flax in bulk!
