Store konjac products, such as konjac noodles or blocks, in a cool, dry place if they are unopened and packaged. Once opened, refrigerate them in an airtight container with clean water to maintain freshness. Replace the water daily to prevent spoilage. Avoid freezing, as it can alter the texture of konjac-based foods. For powdered konjac, keep it in a sealed container at room temperature away from moisture and direct sunlight.
