How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness and the quality of the omega-3 fatty acids, store any unused portion in an airtight container. Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is recommended for longer storage to preserve its taste and texture. Ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent staleness.
