Hey thanks for getting in touch! I have updated the post to include links to these products on Amazon. You can also find them in any health food/ organic store. Usually in the baking section. Hope that helps 🙂

Hey there,
would these freeze okay? And for how long would they stay good in the freezer?

  I've personally never tried freezing them but I think they would be fine. I usually just leave them in the fridge and they last for weeks so I imagine they would last a long time in the freezer.
