Just remember that it is fine for baking. It does not reconstitute
for soaking or drinking. However, I believe the shelf life is 2
years. Once I have opened mine, I keep it either in a sturdy plastic
bag in the fridge or decant it into a glass jar and keep it in the
fridge. It has always worked very well for me. I hope you can get
some.
