Store dried dandelion root in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place. This will help maintain its potency and prevent moisture absorption, which can lead to spoilage. Properly stored, dried dandelion root can last for up to a year or even longer. If you have fresh dandelion root, it can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days wrapped in a damp paper towel inside a plastic bag.
