Looks like you are experimenting with your weed and wondering how long can you store an edible? Today we are going to share some tips and tricks about making edibles and storing them safely. The recreational use of marijuana has been legalized in various states which means that you can enjoy it occasionally in any way you like. So, here’s to making edibles that last long.
-
Make sure that you store the edibles in an airtight container so as to avoid contact with oxygen because that is what spoils it in the first place. The moisture reduces its flavor, potency, and taste.
-
You can store it in the fridge, whether it is brownies or cupcakes, and store it for 5 to 7 days in cool refrigeration.
-
If you plan on storing the edibles for even longer periods then use saran wrap and aluminum foil to cover the same. Then you can place them in the freezer. Cold storage and no contact with oxygen is the way to go.
-
Many people like to consume edible as soon as it is ready. With time, the potency of the edible reduces but also it isn’t possible to make fresh edibles regularly. So, you can make them and store them. They can be good for anywhere between 7 days to 30 days depending on how you store them.
-
Make sure that you smell the edibles before consuming them. If it smells funny then it is better to avoid eating it than taking a risk.
-
If you like cannabis candies then you are in for some good news. You can store these for really long periods and enjoy them as fresh as a new joint as they rarely lose their buzz and potency.
-
Avoid exposure to unnecessary light and by that we mean do not store the edibles in transparent containers. This makes them spoil fast.
-
If you can vacuum seal the edibles before storing then there is nothing like it. This makes them last longer.
-
While consuming edibles make sure that you take small portions rather than taking a direct bite from the brownie. This avoids exposure to mouth bacteria and hence prevents spoiling.
So, we have given a long list of how you can make your edibles last. Make the most of it! Happy weeding.
