Storing Raisins for Maximum Freshness and Shelf Life

Properly storing kishmish is important to keep them from drying out or clumping together. Follow our expert tips to maintain their freshness and extend their shelf life.

1. Use an airtight container. This is the most crucial step to prevent moisture and air from affecting the raisins. Glass jars or plastic containers with tight lids work well.
2. Find a cool, dark place. Store the container in a pantry or cupboard away from sunlight and heat sources like your stove.
3. Avoid the refrigerator for short-term storage. The moisture in the fridge can cause sugar crystals to form on the raisins, changing their texture.
4. For long-term storage, consider the freezer. Place the raisins in a freezer-safe bag or container. This can keep them fresh for many months.

By following these steps, you can enjoy your raisins for a long time. Check out our range of airtight food storage containers for ideal storage solutions.
