Part of being a cannabis lover is knowing all the tricks to improve your cannabis lifestyle which includes protecting your cannabis products from going bad and or worse getting eaten by pests or children. Start by reading this article to prevent any of these worst-case scenarios from happening.
No one wants you to buy your cannabis goods just for them to go stale and inedible before you even get a chance to enjoy them. That is why whether it’s your CBD or THC stash you’ll need to know the ways to store edibles for optimal safety and freshness.
Here’s a quick tip. Follow these three things to make some drastic changes, to lock, to label, and color. Lock your storage system so pests and children won’t be able to reach them easily. Secondly, label your contents to easily find them when creating your own recipes. Lastly, color them so you can identify cannabis foods from non-cannabis foods.
STORING GUMMY AND CANDY EDIBLES
You have to remember that these types of edibles rely on their sugar to act as their natural preservatives. However, if you don’t store them properly they’ll instantly give you an unappealing taste from their texture. The most ideal storage for cannabis gummies and candies are cool and dry environments.
However, there are still some candies that require special conditions. For example, hard candies and caramels are quick to absorb moisture. For hard candies, you should not only find a dry and cool environment but you should also contain it in an airtight container. On the other hand, you should keep caramels separated to prevent them from sticking together. Jellied candies are also quick to lose their moisture when kept exposed to air.
Lifespan to expect on the following edibles:
- Hard candies: One year
- Softer candies: Six to Nine Months
- Jellied candies: Six to Nine Months
STORING CHOCOLATE EDIBLES
Chocolates have some similar characteristics to common candies which makes them sensitive to humidity and temperature. To safely store your chocolate edibles to maintain their qualities you should wrap and keep any leftovers in cool dark places. Refrigerating your leftover chocolates could also add some lifespan to them, approximately two to four months.
Lifespan to expect on the following edibles:
- Unrefrigerated Chocolates: Eight to Ten Months
- Refrigerated Chocolates: Ten to Twelve Months
STORING CANNABIS SNACKS AND BAKES
Humidity is the number factor you should always consider. Similar to other candies you should always maintain the standard of storing your cannabis goods. This includes locking, labeling, and storing them in airtight containers. Here’s a list of common cannabis-infused snacks and goods and how long you can store them.
Lifespan to expect on the following edibles:
- Crackers and Chips: Two Weeks (after being opened)
- Muffins: Normal storage (Three days) | Refrigeration (One Week) | Freezer (Two Months)
- Cakes: Normal storage (Four days) | Refrigeration (One Week) | Freezer (Three Months)
- Bread: Normal storage (Four days) | Refrigeration (Two Week) | Freezer (Three Months)
- Brownies: Normal storage (Two days) | Refrigeration (One Week) | Freezer (Three Months)
STORING CANNABIS-INFUSED DRINKS
You can store drinks for as long as six to nine months on your pantry, ideally, a cool location, if they are unopened. When storing opened drinks on the refrigerator or freezer can prolong their life by a few days after opening, though some changes in taste are to be expected. Teabags on the other hand if kept in an air-tight container can last up to two years.
