Question 11

Tips for storing Apple Chips to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Keep the apple chips in a cool and dry place away from sunlight to maintain their freshness.

• Once the package is opened, ensure that it is properly sealed after each use, a good way is using a clip to secure it. This will stop air from getting into the package and making the chips stale.

• Storing them in an airtight jar can also prevent moisture and air from coming in contact with the chips and extending their shelf life.

• If you choose to freeze apple chips, consider storing them in a vacuum sealed bag to maintain their flavor and texture. To defrost, simply leave them out at room temperature until they become normal.
