How should I store dried lavender flowers after opening the pack? — Lavender Flowers 25 g - Lekraset

Dried lavender flowers are natural plant material that is sensitive to moisture, light and foreign odours. After opening the pack, it is important to provide proper storage conditions so that the aromatic compounds do not evaporate prematurely.

• Container. Transfer the flowers to an airtight glass or ceramic jar with a tight lid. Glass does not absorb odours and does not pass them on to the contents.
• Place. Keep in a dry, dark place away from heat sources: a stove, a radiator and direct sunlight speed up the loss of aroma.
• Humidity. Avoid storing next to the sink or in the fridge without airtight packaging: moisture quickly spoils dried material.
• Shelf life. The 25 g pack is convenient precisely because it lets you use the material within a reasonable time and not worry about long-term storage. Follow the expiry date given on the packaging.

If the flowers have lost their aroma or changed colour, it is a sign that the quality of the material has dropped, and it is better to replace the pack with a fresh one.
