HOW TO STORE STARTER CULTURES?
One of the benefits of ordering starter cultures from Cultures for Health, is that all of the starter cultures are shelf stable. We recommend storing them in a cool, dry place.
With that said, if you've ordered a starter and know you won't be using it for awhile (or may be using one packet but saving other packets in the box for later), we recommend refrigeration for long term storage.
FINISHED CULTURED & FERMENTED FOODS: HOW LONG WILL THEY LAST?
