Store dried seaweed in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its texture and flavor. For fresh seaweed, keep it refrigerated in a sealed container and use it within a few days. If you have leftover rehydrated seaweed, store it in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days. Freezing is also an option for longer storage, but ensure it's tightly sealed to prevent freezer burn.
