The storage time of kelp depends on the storage method and environment.

Salted kelp can be stored in a cool, dry place for about two weeks without deterioration. If you put salted kelp in the freezer of your refrigerator, it can be stored for two to three months. If you roll the steamed kelp into a roll, wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in the freezer of the refrigerator, it can be stored for a longer period of time, even up to 2 years. Kelp is generally dried by people, and dried kelp can generally be stored for about half a year. However, no matter which preservation method is used, it needs to be reheated before consumption.

If people cannot finish the soaked kelp in time, they need to refrigerate it in a freezer or refrigerator, so that the kelp can be better preserved, and of course it cannot be kept for too long. It should be noted that kelp can easily breed bacteria during the storage process, so make sure the kelp has been reheated before eating. If the kelp is refrigerated or frozen, make sure the kelp remains crisp and soft when making cold kelp. .
