Common storage questions
Is it safe to eat past the date?
Usually, for shelf stable food. Best by is about quality, not safety. Use by on chilled food is the one to respect.
Fridge or cupboard for nut butter?
Cupboard if you finish a jar in a month. Fridge if it takes you longer, especially natural grinds that separate.
Do I need a vacuum sealer?
Not for most kitchens. Sealed jars and a full freezer do most of the same work for a lot less money.
