Storage of Seeds Bar
Properly storing seed bars is vital to preserve their freshness and texture. Start by letting the bars cool thoroughly after baking, ensuring they're firm and won't crumble during storage. Next, individually wrap the cut bars in plastic or parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy grabbing. Place these wrapped bars inside an airtight container, choosing a plastic container with a tight lid or a resealable plastic bag. If you stack multiple layers, insert parchment or wax paper between them to prevent adhesion. Store the container in a cool, dry spot, avoiding humidity and direct sunlight that could compromise texture. It is recommended to refrigerate bars containing perishable ingredients such as fruits or dairy and store them properly. If you're considering longer-term storage, freeze the bars by wrapping them tightly in plastic or foil and placing them in an airtight freezer bag. Before consuming, thaw frozen seed bars at room temperature or in the refrigerator to extend their shelf life and maintain quality
