  • All flour has weevils in it... only they 'hatch' after the useby date!!

    But I use so much flour, I never get within 6 months of the useby dates!!!
    We spend money we don't have, on things that we don't need, to impress people we don't like. I don't and I'm happy!

  • I've frozen within use-by date Mullerlight yoghut and it was fine to then eat frozen (like icecream). I don't know what it'd be like defrosted though.

    Frozen flavoured yoghurts are nice frozen - as kids we used to turn them upside down in the tub and lick them like ice lollies. I don't think plain, live yoghurt would be so good for eating after defrosting, but might be ok if you are using it in cooking - I have never tried it, so if you do let us know how it works!

  • thanks folks.

    I've just bought a second freezer and it occurred to me that bags of flour bought on special offer would be a good way of filling it up to begin with.

    Never really thought much about weevils - UNTIL NOW!!!!!

    Just resurrecting an old thread to ask:

    How long can the flour remain in the freezer?

    Ive merged this with an older thread on freezing flour. As far as I know people mainly freeze it to remove the risk of weevils setting up home :) (rather than keeping it for months in the freezer)

    How long were you thinking about freezing it?
    A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men :cool:
