| I have recently purchased a good amount of granulated Cane sugar; the brown kind. It has a best by date of 4/2014. If I put it in 7mil mylar with O2 absorbers how long could I expect to have it stay usable? |

Is this brown natural and original? Brown sugar does not have the lifespan normal white sugar has from what I recall. I think you can just add molassus to make brown sugar. And molassus has a nice long life expectancy I think. Or I might just be thinking that brown rice has a short lifespan so maybe brown sugar also has a short lifespan. Check ingredients on bag to be sure. I store plain crappy white sugar. I can alter it as needed. |

I can alter it as needed. It's a simple molecule, and doesn't degrade or rot or oxidize on it's own. It can get contaminated with odors, and it can pick up moisture, and it can be eaten. But what it doesn't do, is degrade by itself. Other stuff in less processed sugar is more likely to cause problems than refined sugar. But in either case, bag it up, keep the bugs away from the bag and forget about it.

You shoudlnt bother using mylar bags and 0 absorbers for sugar. As long as its kept in a sealed container thats it. It wont go bad. FerFAL |
