Freezing rice flour

[Marciep]

Just read that freezing rice flour is not good, i have 2 very large bags in the freezer, is it too late to take out & store in a tight container?? I hate to throw out

I keep some flours in the freezer.  It doesn't keep indefinitely - nothing does.

Don't believe everything you read- I wouldn't know why freezing rice flour would be a problem. I freeze all my gluten free flours- they last much longer

They said something like mold arises when rice flour becomes wet when it comes from the freezer, even when it's in cooked items. That may cause stomach issues. Which I still experience being on gluten free & I bake all the time with the brown rice flour that I keep in the freezer..I'm so confused

I suppose it is possible, if your flour got wet.  But it would have to sit around at room temp for a while to grow the mold.

Marciep, go to the thread where you read that & read the last post. I made it & included links for VALID info. about how to store all kinds of different flours. Here's a link to the thread:
