Ingredients

Fresh cornmeal
Air-tight container such as a mason jar or any plasticware with a tight-fitting lid
Desiccant packet and oxygen absorber packet

Instructions

Put the cornmeal in a high-quality zipper baggie.
Preferably, add the whole sealed baggie of cornmeal to an airtight container.
Add the oxygen absorber and desiccant packet into the outer container or directly into the cornmeal before sealing the outer container.
If you don’t have the oxygen absorber or desiccant packets, skip step #3.
Store in a place where it's cool, dry, and dark.
Don’t eat the packets and make sure they don’t go into your recipes.

Notes

Non-edible oxygen absorber and desiccant packets help keep oxygen out and humidity away from your cornmeal and lots of other pantry goods. You may have seen these in dog treats, medicines, beef jerky, and other kinds of pantry staples.
