      • Transfer them to airtight containers. Once the original packaging is opened, the food can start losing freshness. Airtight containers help keep out moisture, odors, and pests.
      • Use food-grade plastic, glass, or metal containers with tight-fitting lids. Avoid reusing containers that previously held chemical products.
      • If keeping in the original bag, push out excess air and seal tightly either by folding over the bag top tightly or using a clip or rubber band.
      • Store in a cool, dry location away from sunlight and heat sources. Heat and moisture can cause the foods to spoil faster.
      • For longer storage, choose containers that block out light which can degrade nutrients over time.
      • Label containers with the contents and date so you use up the oldest items first.
      • Regularly check for any moisture condensation inside the containers and discard if you see insects or spoilage.
