How long does millet flour last in the pantry?
Millet flour is the short-fuse one — 1 month in the pantry, 2 months in the freezer — so buy it in the amount you’ll actually bake through.

Can it sit out?
Millet flour is shelf-stable, so sitting out at room temperature isn’t the safety question — storage time is.
How to tell if millet flour has gone bad
- A sharp, oily smell that wasn’t there when the bag was new
- A bitter finish in anything baked from it
- Clumping or damp patches in the bag
- Fine webbing or small moths in the flour
When in doubt, throw it out.
Freeze it in a zip bag the day it comes home — millet’s oil turns faster than almost any flour on the shelf.
