There is also enough salt in it to keep it long after the expiration date. You will know by smell immediately after opening it if it is bad.

Working on looking into vacuum sealing rice and beans.
Storing salt too while it is inexpensive...and from the dollar store.

Start small..but start somewhere. Ask...lots of people have good advice.

You don't have to break the bank..but start somewhere.

better off buying a big 20-25lb bag of salt at one time - dump it in a food grade bucket - seal it - pack it away in an unused corner - forget it until needed ... same same with white sugar - either buy it in bulk or when super cheap during canning season .... both are forever foods ....
