When you invest in high-quality aguaje, like the 100% natural product from Pure Inka Foods, you want to make sure it stays fresh and retains all its potent nutrients. Proper storage is essential to maintain the powder’s vibrant color, flavor, and powerful health benefits — including its rich vitamins and antioxidants.

First, it’s important to understand what makes aguaje powder special. This powder is derived from the pulp of the Amazonian aguaje fruit, which is naturally rich in beta-carotene, vitamins A, C, and E, and healthy fatty acids. Because of these sensitive nutrients, improper storage can cause degradation through exposure to heat, moisture, air, and light.

To maximize the shelf life of your aguaje powder, store it in an airtight container. This helps prevent oxidation, which can lead to nutrient loss and diminished flavor. Most packaging from Pure Inka Foods is resealable, but if you transfer your powder to another container, choose one that seals tightly, like a glass jar with a rubber gasket or a high-quality food-grade plastic container.

Keep the powder in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity. A pantry or cupboard that doesn’t get warm or humid is ideal. Avoid storing it near stoves, ovens, or windows where temperature fluctuations and moisture can occur.

Because the powder contains natural oils from the fruit’s pulp, refrigeration is an option for long-term storage, especially in humid climates. If you refrigerate, make sure the container is airtight to avoid moisture absorption. When removing from the fridge, allow the powder to come to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation inside the container.

Shelf life for properly stored aguaje powder typically ranges from 6 months to 1 year, depending on exposure to environmental factors. Purchasing from Pure Inka Foods ensures you receive powder harvested and processed with care, preserving freshness from the Amazon right to your door.

For those buying in bulk — 1 kg bags or larger — consider dividing the powder into smaller portions to minimize how often the entire batch is exposed to air. Use smaller containers or resealable bags to portion out the powder, keeping the bulk supply sealed tightly.

In summary, to keep your aguaje powder fresh and potent:

• Store in airtight containers

• Keep in a cool, dry, and dark place

• Refrigerate in humid conditions if needed

• Portion bulk quantities for easier use

Following these simple storage tips will ensure your aguaje powder remains a vibrant, nutritious superfood that supports your health and beauty goals every day.
