So this morning I'm doing birdie cooking. I was looking through all my "bird foods" and remembered I had some seeds in the freezer. I have hulled sunflower & pumpkin, buckwheat, split green peas, safflower and flax seeds. They're in their original bags (which are those vacuum sealed type - but I cut small slits in the corners of them when I first got them), and in plastic baggies and were all together in a walmart type bag. I've had them in there for at least a year - maybe a few months more. Would they still be good? Or should I throw them out? There's no freezer burn or any thing like on them - but I have no idea on this sort of thing.

Ya know, I thought things like nuts and seeds would stay good in the freezer forever. However, I just learned about a month ago that Almonds are good in the freezer for like 6 months is all. I'm guessing seeds are similar to almonds in the way they keep? I'm really not sure...hopefully somebody else will know!

If its in a vaccum sealed bag it should be OK. Stuff that is in a vaccum sealed bag can last over two years in the freezer from what I have heard- we have a seal-a-meal that vaccum seals any leftovers we want to freeze, and its guranteed to have certain foods last at least one year in the freezer.

If the seal was not broken they should be ok....but I live by better safe then sorry. Sorry I'm not more help.

I think I'll throw them out. I usually go by the better safe than sorry rule too. The seal was broken on the bags - I cut the corners when I first got them. I did eat a sunflower seed - and it tasted okay - but then again - I've never eaten sunflower seeds before. So don't know if it tasted how it should or not.
