How to store Salt
In the pantry: 0 days
Follow the storage instructions on the label of Salt — they're calibrated to that specific product. In general, keep refrigerated items at or below 4°C, pantry items in a cool dry place away from heat and direct light. Once opened, transfer to an airtight container if the original packaging doesn't reseal well. Don't return partially-used product to the fridge after sitting at room temperature for hours — the warmth accelerates bacterial growth.
