To ensure long-lasting freshness, here are five effective storage tips:

Airtight Container

[{"selector":"#anim-7212ce1b-5c4a-40ff-a979-62d1f5551391 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e7979b9a-4697-41b3-964a-cc45005468b6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-df660979-4d75-4dc2-b9d7-55c3b50aaaed","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5d22e769-7af2-480b-a258-532218a0d624","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 211.64024%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Store makhana in an airtight container to keep moisture away and maintain its crunch.

Cool, Dry Place

Sun-Drying

Avoid Plastic Bags
