How should I store the dried cornflower flowers?

Because LEKRASET cornflower is a loose dried flower, proper storage is important to preserve its color, aroma, and flavor. Keep the flowers in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and strong heat sources. A cool, dry cupboard or pantry is ideal. Avoid storing the container near the stove, dishwasher, or refrigerator, as these areas can have fluctuating humidity and temperature. Make sure the container is sealed tightly after each use, and if you transfer the flowers to another jar, ensure it is completely clean and dry. Check the best-before date on the package and use the product within a reasonable time after opening; dried herbs generally keep their quality for about a year if stored well, but always rely on the package date as a guide. If you notice any signs of mold, an off smell, or a change in color, discard the product. Proper storage helps the flowers release their natural compounds when brewed, so you get a consistent cup every time.
