Information: "First Hand" RAMEN NOODLE, knowledge.

So, I always give the sniff test. I inventory many hundreds of RAMEN NOODLE packages. Most I paid $2.40 per case of 24 packets/meals. So, I don't get butt-hurt is any go rancid. I recently (in the move) opened a case of 24 and sniffed the noodles and they smelled somewhat rancid. I checked the best by date July 2021.......OK. So, I salvaged the foil flavor envelope and S...canned the noodles.

I had been using some with a best by date in the 2023 period. So, now I have a "clearer" grasp of Ramen Noodle storage life. Yes, I am aware that the Best By Date: does NOT mean, "Throw this poop Away".

I wish I could purchase hundreds (thousands) of those foil flavor packets.

I wish I could send them to you. I throw them out. I figure the noodles are fairly non toxic, but the pkts are very toxic. Instead we melt some butter, put that on with a little garlic and parmesan cheese.

I don't stock Ramen noodles in my food preps. They have always given me a mild "yeuch stomach" after I've eaten them. Not disastrous problems, but enough to make me think "Why did I eat that?" This result, combined with the almost zero nutritional value of the things, has me simply leaving them out of my preps. I'm not sure I could tell the difference between stale Ramen noodles and goods ones in the first place.

For low nutrition foods I go with rice over Ramen. You can pack more into a given space. And I like the taste (or lack thereof) better and don't have the minor stomach issues that I have with Ramen. However, the nutritional value of rice is no better than Ramen AFAIK. So I guess everybody should pick which one they like best.

The three year storage-to-stale time you found for Ramen would tend to make it not so good for long term storage. That lifespan would be fine for me, since I'm a shorter term prepper. But three years seems too limiting for the longer term prepping group. Maybe eat up the Ramen first. After three years of that, you'd probably be ready to switch to rice anyways.
