Store dried seaweed sheets in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place. Exposure to moisture and air can make them lose their crispness and flavor. Once opened, reseal the package tightly or transfer the sheets to a zip-top bag to prevent them from becoming stale. Properly stored, dried seaweed can last for several months.
