How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
To maintain their chewy texture and prevent them from drying out, store the remaining gummies in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to preserve freshness and prevent the sour coating from absorbing moisture.
