Coconut powder, commonly used in Indian sweets and curries, needs proper storage to maintain freshness and flavour. Follow these simple methods to ensure your coconut powder stays dry, aromatic, and ready to use for longer.
Store coconut powder in a tightly sealed, airtight container to prevent moisture absorption, which can lead to clumping and spoilage.
Keep the container in a cool, dry pantry, away from direct sunlight or humidity, which could degrade its quality.
For long-term storage, refrigerate coconut powder to preserve its oils and prevent it from going rancid.
If you won’t use it soon, freeze coconut powder in a zip-lock bag. It can last for months without losing freshness.
Always label the storage container with the date of purchase to track freshness.
