I've NEVER seen any of these things go bad, Sucanat, sugar or raw sugar. Yes they can get hard and kind of clump together or in your case with the oxygen packets totally harden. I see no problem with canning and/or sealing in mylar bags, Sucanat and Raw sugar but I WOULD NOT put in oxygen packets they are self preserving. In fact is all I do is keep them in buckets. It makes it easy to rotate and like I said I have never seen them go bad. If you don't rotate and want them to keep and be more fresh after 20 years of storage sealing in cans or bags is probably a good idea. Hope that makes sense!Tammiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03519210216151040312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015641473202244138.post-61077431635185691092011-04-04T10:51:14.195-06:002011-04-04T10:51:14.195-06:00I just had some questions about food storage.

The first time we canned sugar, we did put oxygen packets, and it was super hard when we opened it, and I had to chip it out with a spoon. Now that we are trying to convert our stored items to healthy ones, I'm wondering about the oxygen packets. We don't want that to happen to our sucanat or raw sugar! Will it store okay without the packets?<br /><br />--DianeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015641473202244138.post-24255337250719023462011-04-02T20:20:57.733-06:002011-04-02T20:20:57.733-06:00Yummy mango salsa!!
And...thanks Tam! I am might...Yummy mango salsa!!<br /><br />And...thanks Tam! I am mighty proud of YOU, too. You're the one who had to work so hard to inspire your strictly meat n' potato eatin' husband to jump on the band wagon. That's tough. Luckily, my husband has always talked sense into me when I am foaming at the mouth when we pass an Arby's. ;) <br /><br />You're doing great work! Keep it up!!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10353830755025049342noreply@blogger.com
