How to Store Dried Pomegranate Peel?

Dried pomegranate seeds have a shelf life of at least 1 year when stored under suitable conditions. There are 3 main factors that reduce this period:

• Humidity

• High temperature

To prevent a shortened shelf life, it should be kept in its own packaging in a cool, dry environment away from sunlight.
