Storage tips

Our plastic-free packaging made of cellulose is very environmentally friendly and looks nice, but also has not only advantages compared to plastic, especially in the longer storage.

For some of our food we would like to give the following storage tips for a longer freshness and shelf life. There are two types that should be kept in glass containers or in Tupperware or similar as airtight as possible (and ideally always cool and dry).

  1. What tends to dry out
    all dried fruits, especially, for example, mango strips, pineapple or dates, etc.. These are still good to eat if they lose some of their natural moisture, but tend to become harder in consistency. Some like this and even prefer it, but if you want to keep the original consistency for as long as possible, you should pack it as airtight as possible.
    If it does happen, a few fresh apple slices in an airtight container overnight often help to get mango strips nice and soft again, for example.
  2. What tends to get moist
    All types of chips(coconut chips, banana chips), because they draw moisture from the air and so lose their crisp, crunchy texture over time.
    However, if this should happen, you can try to remove the moisture again at low temperature in the oven (about 40-50°C) for about half an hour.

Nuts can also be stored well in paper for a short time, but again, the basic rule is to keep them cool, dry and dark. One should know that nuts can also mold “invisibly” and then unhealthy or even dangerous so-called myotoxins such as aflatoxin can form.

The fat in the nuts can become rancid if the temperature is too warm or over time, which you can usually taste clearly.
If the nuts taste musty or have an unpleasant, bitter or pungent taste, they should be discarded immediately.

Nuts in the jar

For short-term storage and early consumption, we recommend either glass tupperware or, better yet, storage jars. The jars can be placed next to each other and you can see at first glance what they contain.

For longer storage, a dark and cool, dry place is recommended. You can also use airtight containers in the refrigerator for longer storage. The freezer should be used if you want to store a larger supply. The same applies here, always seal as airtight as possible!

The basic rule for nut storage is:

Dried fruit:
Dried fruit is a little less complicated. These can often be stored for months or even years without any problems, usually we assume 12 months. Depending on the type, dried fruit can lose some of its flavor over time, or, for example, figs or apricots wild sour can become sugary over time, which can be seen in the whitish coating. This is a completely natural process and has no influence on quality or taste, in fact it is a clear sign that our organic products are free of preservatives.

Nevertheless, it is also best to store all dried fruits in a resealable container such as a glass tupperware and protect them from sunlight by storing them in a dark place.
