I try to store flour, grits, barley, corn starch, etc in my freezer in sealed containers. It makes them last a lot longer. Maybe that's just because I am in a sub tropical climate, but my mother never left those items in the pantry either. Thanks for the info.

I was given some honey a couple of years ago that was harvested in 1947 (!) and it wasn't just edible, it was actually quite good. Worth noting that honey – unopened or not – will keep indefinately.

I have only one comment, honey as long as it is unopened can be kept nearly forever. It is a natural antibacterial and they have recently uncovered jars of it from a tomb in Egypt. The honey was opened and 3000 years later it was good, crystallized but it wasn't rancid. :) I just thought I would share that. If you check out providentliving.org you can find info on long-term food storage with shelf lives of some products there too. I just found your website and am really enjoying it.

I learn much from your blog and your post today is no exception. I think it is time I went through my pantry and updated its contents. I know I have dry milk that is old and solid shortening that is probably bad too and some other stuff. Great post. Thank you for this valuable resource.
