In the Georgia heat, there is nothing worse than opening your favorite tin of gummies only to find a single, multi-colored melted blob. Or worse—taking a gummy that’s been sitting on a sunny windowsill only to find it has lost its "spark."
At Bee Well Botanicals, we carry premium products, and we want you to get every bit of value out of them. Here is our expert advice for keeping your stash as fresh and potent as the day you bought it.
The two fastest ways to ruin an edible are high temperatures and UV light.
The Advice: Store your gummies in a dark drawer or a kitchen cabinet away from the stove.
We get asked a lot: "Should I keep my gummies in the fridge?"
In Kennesaw, where the humidity can be brutal, the refrigerator is actually a great place for long-term storage. However, there is a catch: Condensation. If you take a cold jar out and open it immediately, moisture from the air can get inside and make the gummies sticky.
The Advice: If you store them in the fridge, let the container reach room temperature before you open the seal.
There’s a reason Cornbread Hemp uses dark glass bottles and Camino uses high-quality metal tins. These containers are specifically designed to block out light and provide an airtight seal.
The Advice: Resist the urge to move your gummies into a clear plastic sandwich bag. If you do lose your original packaging, a glass mason jar is your best backup option.
Oxygen is another factor that leads to "oxidation," which slowly saps the potency of your edibles. If your gummies come in a resealable bag (like our Bee Well house brand), try to squeeze out as much air as possible before zipping it shut.
If the Georgia sun got the best of your gummies and they’ve fused together, do not try to guestimate a dose by biting off a piece. Because the gummies have melted, the active ingredients may have shifted.
The Advice: Unfortunately, if they melt into one mass, it’s impossible to know exactly how much THCH or THCP you’re getting in a "hunk." Your best bet is to start fresh. To avoid this, never leave your tin in the car—even for a quick trip to the grocery store!
