Hello evryone,
Is it good to stock Salt mix for over a year? It cheap and save shipping cost if buy large quantity? Thanks.
Shin.

As long as it is not opened initially, I dont see a problem.

I buy three at a time to save on shipping. Just open them one at a time when needed and all is fine.

The concern with very long storage is that if moisture gets into them, that can allow calcium and magnesium carbonate to precipitate, and it can also turn the whole thing brick hard. But a few months to a year is likely OK.
