Grains of Selim should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place to preserve their flavor and potency. Avoid exposure to moisture and direct sunlight. Properly stored, they can maintain their quality for several months. For extended storage, consider freezing them in an airtight bag or container; however, this may slightly alter the texture.
