How to store Truffles
Storing truffles is very easy!
with the following steps you can learn how to store truffles, whether fresh or dry.
Fresh truffles
Best effect and taste when fresh
Sealed in vacuum pouch
Small effort to store
Need to be stored in the fridge
Sensitive to temperature, light and humidity
Fresh truffles (sclerotia) are sensitive to temperature, light, and humidity. Therefore, exposing them to at least one of these factors significantly reduces their shelf life. All truffle packs are marked with an expiry date (+/- 2 months). By following the steps below, you can ensure they remain fresh for as long as possible.
Dry truffles
Extended shelf life
Can be stored at room temperature or in the freezer
Psilocybin looses potency over time
Preparation takes more time and effort
Dried truffles offer a significantly longer shelf life and can be conveniently stored at room temperature. However, as time passes, psilocybin naturally degrades, resulting in a decrease in potency the longer they are stored. Properly drying them requires a bit of effort and time investment. Dried truffles can typically be stored for approximately one year, and below, you’ll find instructions on how to prepare them.
step 1
Keep Refrigirated
As soon as you receive your order, place the fresh truffles in the fridge. Both sealed and unsealed packs always need to be kept cool!
Never put fresh truffles in the freezer!
step 2
Closed Container
After unsealing a package place the content in a small and closed container. The smaller the container the less oxygen will react with the truffles which keeps them fresh and potent. Place the container back in the fridge.
step 3
Keep Dry
To keep them fresh for even longer, place a paper towel on the bottom of your container to absorb excess humidity. Replace the paper every 2-4 days.
step 1
Mince the truffles
Cut the truffles into small pieces and place them on a clean kitchen towel. Leave it in a dark and dry place until it’s fully dry. Make sure that the room is well ventilated.
The drying process varies with given conditions – between 1 day and 1 week. If you live in a place with higher humidity, it will take longer for them to dry. In such cases, use a fan to help the natural air-drying process.
Being patient and allowing them to dry fully is important!
step 2
Grind into Powder
Once the truffles are fully dry, grind them into powder. You can ensure a more even distribution of psilocybin,by grinding the truffles into a finer powder. This is important for Microdosing purposes.
Afterwards, place the fine powder in a closed container and store it in a dark place at room temperature.
Moreover, If you want to keep them for even longer then you can store dry truffles in the freezer.
