Flour Needs To Be Stored Properly

Much like spices, flour only has a six-month period of usability. The good thing, however, is that you can extend that to a year by doing one simple trick. Flour actually attracts water so keeping it in the pantry, even if it’s in the original bag or zip-loc, will likely decrease its lifespan even further. The trick? Transfer it to an air-tight container before storing it in the fridge.

Unless you’re using cupfuls of it every day, you’ll only end up with a bag of unusable powder once the six months are over. Too bad you can’t use it to clean the flooring, unlike baking soda!
