Storage Guidelines:

  • Keep stored in a sealable bag or container
    •  Tip: Vacuum sealing can more than triple the shelf life

    • For longer term storage, consider storing in your freezer (especially if not vacuum sealed) 
  • When dried and stored properly, these should have a shelf life of several months
