Understanding Proper Storage for Premium Products
When it comes to maintaining the quality of your premium botanical products, proper storage plays a crucial role. At Simplicity Dispensary, we’re committed to helping our customers preserve the freshness and potency of their purchases through proven storage methods.
Key Storage Principles
The four main factors that affect cannabis storage are:
– Temperature
– Humidity
– Light exposure
– Air exposure
Let’s explore how to manage each of these elements effectively for optimal preservation.
Temperature Control
Maintaining proper temperature is essential for preserving terpenes and cannabinoids. Store your products in a cool, stable environment between 60-70°F (15-21°C). Avoid storing in areas prone to temperature fluctuations, such as:
– Near windows
– Next to heating/cooling vents
– In direct sunlight
– Close to appliances that generate heat
Humidity Management
The ideal relative humidity for storage typically ranges between 59-63%. Consider these solutions for humidity control:
– Use humidity control packets
– Store in airtight glass containers
– Monitor humidity levels regularly
– Avoid plastic bags or containers
Light Protection
UV rays can degrade quality over time. Protect your products by:
– Using opaque or amber glass containers
– Storing in a dark location
– Keeping products in their original packaging
– Avoiding clear glass containers
Air Exposure
Oxygen can accelerate degradation. Minimize air exposure by:
– Using appropriate-sized containers
– Avoiding excessive container opening
– Ensuring airtight seals
– Using vacuum-sealed containers for long-term storage
Container Selection
Choose the right storage container for optimal results:
– Glass jars with airtight seals
– UV-protected containers
– Proper size to minimize air space
– Clean, sanitized vessels
Location Considerations
Select an ideal storage location that is:
– Away from direct sunlight
– In a temperature-controlled area
– Out of reach of children and pets
– Away from strong odors or contaminants
Additional Tips
For optimal preservation:
– Label containers with purchase dates
– Regularly check for quality maintenance
– Don’t mix different varieties in the same container
– Clean storage containers between uses
What to Avoid
Prevent quality degradation by avoiding:
– Refrigerator or freezer storage
– Plastic containers
– Areas with high moisture
– Extended exposure to air
