Expiration Dates on Flour

[Guest guest]

Quick question.

When baking with various flours (barley, oat, whole wheat), some of

which I do not use that often, I noticed the expiration date on some

of these bags of flour.

How long can one really use flour after the expiration date? Should

flours not freq used be stored in freezer and does this allow me to

use it beyond the expiration date? Your experience welcomed.
