How To Store Your Green Seasoning in the Fridge?
Store your green seasoning in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. I typically use an old jerk seasoning jar, marinara sauce jar, and or old seasoning jar. Use what you already have in your cupboard. This will last 1-2 months in the refrigerator.
I recommend placing a piece of cling wrap over the opening of your storage container before you close it. This helps to prevent odor transfer to other items in your refrigerator.
How To Store Your Green Seasoning in the Freezer?
You can make additional quantities and freeze them in ice cube trays, after they are frozen, remove the cubes from the trays and store them in freezer bags. Thaw before use.
