Red velvet crumbs are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their texture and prevent them from becoming stale or absorbing moisture. If your kitchen is particularly warm or humid, consider storing them in the refrigerator to extend their shelf life, but be sure to let them come to room temperature before using to restore their texture. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or near sources of heat, as this can degrade their quality. For longer storage, freezing is an option; thaw at room temperature before using.
