Store dry coconut in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place, such as a pantry or cupboard. This helps prevent it from absorbing moisture and odors. Properly stored, it can last for several months. For extended storage, consider refrigerating or freezing dry coconut in an airtight container or freezer bag. Refrigeration can extend its shelf life to about 6-8 months, while freezing can preserve it for up to a year or more. Ensure it is tightly sealed to prevent freezer burn.
