How to Properly Store Natural Syrups at Home

Proper storage of natural berry and fruit syrups is essential to maintain their flavor and nutritional value. Here are some guidelines:

1. Refrigeration:
   After opening, always store syrups in the refrigerator. This slows down microbial growth and preserves freshness. Unopened syrups can be kept in a cool, dark place.
2. Use Clean Containers:
   Transfer syrups into sterilized glass bottles or jars. Glass is non-reactive and doesn’t absorb odors, ensuring the syrup’s taste remains unaltered.
3. Avoid Direct Sunlight:
   Store syrups away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation of color and nutrients.
4. Monitor Shelf Life:
   Even with refrigeration, it’s best to consume syrups within 30 days after opening to enjoy optimal taste and benefits.
