Storage Instructions
- To preserve the flavor and aroma of dried marjoram:
- Store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry or cupboard.
- Keep it away from heat sources and sunlight, as exposure to light and heat can cause herbs to lose their flavor more quickly.
- Properly stored, dried marjoram can retain its flavor for up to a year or even longer, although its potency may gradually diminish over time.
- Check the aroma and flavor periodically to ensure that the dried marjoram is still fresh and flavorful. If it starts to lose its potency, it may be time to replace it with a fresh batch.
