How to store: Store the flour in an airtight steel or glass container. Ideally, it is advised to consume any flour within 15 – 20 days of milling otherwise its nutrition start getting depleted and flour starts getting stale. This is more so in the case of our flour which is not treated by any chemicals for increasing shelf life. In absence of any chemical treatment, such flour is more prone to catch worm infestation too. So, buy in small quantities and consume it well in time.
