Fresh angelica should be stored in the refrigerator, wrapped in a damp paper towel inside a plastic bag. This will help maintain its moisture and prevent it from wilting. Dried angelica should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place to preserve its flavor and potency. Angelica can also be candied and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
