Community Q&A
- QuestionDo I need to refrigerate the wrapper?
MicheleTop AnswererRice paper is a dried product so like most others that are similar, storing it in a cool, dry location such as a pantry, is fine. However, keeping it in the fridge will guarantee that it stays dry and may even extend the storage time. - QuestionThere is no date on my package for expiration, so how long is too long to keep this product?MicheleTop AnswererAs long as you keep it securely wrapped and in a cool, dry location, it should last weeks if not months. The best way to know is to smell it. If it smells bad, toss it.
- QuestionHow long can I keep rice paper?MicheleTop AnswererYou would generally store it until the Use-by date. However, as with most food items, it won't immediately go bad. Keep opened packages securely sealed in a cool, dry location and you should be able to keep it for at least a week or two past that date (and probably longer if stored in the fridge). And like most all other foods, if it smells bad, toss it!
