How to keep the rest
To maintain the freshness and crunchiness of the remaining cereal, ensure the inner bag is sealed tightly after each use. Store the box in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper sealing prevents air from reaching the cereal, which can lead to staleness and loss of texture.
