Hello,


My friend would like to know to the best method for storing powdered MHRB Bark without using a freezer or vacuum sealer. She loves using MHRB bark as a clothing dye base and wants to store it for long term use in future projects. Currently the powdered MHRB bark is an opened bag that was once air tight. My friend theorizes that her best bet for preservation is to empty to the MHRB contents from the bag into a canning jar and then add a few oxygen absorbers and sealing the jar. Any thoughts on how well devised this plan is?

Many thanks!

Thumbs up

So I would reccomend that you protect your MHRB from the two things that is known to degrade the precious spice that lies within. Keep it out of the light and dont expose it to oxygen. I dont know if it helps, but I would suggest keeping it in a cool place also.

IMO ideal storage situation would be in a dark freezer in an air tight container.

That said, I must admit I have stored bark in an unsealed plastic bag in a room temp dark closet for a couple of years with no degredation of quality what so ever.

If you have good MHRB, you should consider yourself very lucky. You should take good care of your bark. If it does go bad from shitty storage practices you wont replace it very easy or very cheaply, if at all.

Would emptying the MHRB from an opened bag into an air tight mason jar be wise?
