Question Storing Question?

I just bought a large bag of corn meal, what is the best way to store it to make sure it stays good the longest i.e no little beetles and stuff....

Really? I thought maybe the fridge but I wasn't sure about moisture. Do you store yours in the freezer? Do you put it in a bag or tupperware?

I don't buy large bags, so, no. The freezer will keep it fresh and guarantee no bugs.

I use my FoodSaver and vacuum-seal in convenient size bags.

Another vote for foodsaver... but if that is not an option, then freezing would be your best bet!!!
