Frequently asked questions
How long does fruit powder last after opening?
Once opened, reseal the pouch tightly and use within 3–6 months in a cool, dry place. In humid climates, transfer to an airtight glass jar and refrigerate for up to 6 months.
Does fruit powder need to be refrigerated?
Sealed packs do not require refrigeration. After opening, refrigeration in an airtight container helps in high-humidity regions; otherwise a cool, dry cupboard is sufficient.
How can you tell if fruit powder has gone bad?
Discard powder that smells musty or sour, shows visible mould, or has clumped into wet, sticky masses that will not break apart with a dry spoon.
Does fruit powder expire?
Rootiva Organic fruit powder is best within 12 months of manufacture when sealed. The printed best-before date marks peak quality; safety depends on moisture control and absence of spoilage signs.
