To maintain the freshness and flavor of coconut flakes, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place. Properly stored, they can last for several months at room temperature. Refrigeration can extend their shelf life further, but ensure they are in a sealed container to prevent them from absorbing moisture and odors. Freezing is also an option for long-term storage; just be sure they are well-sealed to prevent freezer burn.
