How to keep the rest
After opening, it is best to store the cereal in its original box or an airtight container. Keep it in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry. This will help maintain its crispness and prevent the raisins from becoming too sticky or hard. Ensure the container is sealed tightly to keep out moisture and air.
