How do you store these chives?

I put mine in a gallon glass jar, and refill the small jar from the gallon jar.

I just folded the top over and clipped it shut. I was just thinking the other day I ought to take out a small jar full to use and use my vacuum sealer to seal up the rest. There's so much in the bag!

We have a Food Saver vacuum with the attachment that seals canning jars. I just dumped a bunch into some quart-sized jars, shook the chives down until I couldn't get anymore in, and vacuum-sealed them. Word of warning though, pry the top off VERY slowly and carefully when you want to use them or they will fly everywhere when the lid pops off!

I keep mine in a glass container with a screw top. On my spice rack, which isn't above my stove.

I use an empty 8oz plastic parmesan jar filled with chives on the table (the holes in the lid are large) put the rest in the freezer until needed. I have done this almost a year now, works well for us.

I've kept them in a ziplock in the cabinet for about a year now and they're still good. I'm sure ideally you'd store them in the freezer, but cabinet works fine for me.

I put enough to last for reasonable period in a glass jar. Freeze the remainder in bag plus couple of freezer bags

I put them in potting soil in a shallow container. They don't need much water and do fine in just a few hours of sun. I bought them for floral arrangements last summer and didn't use them all. I still have them and they look great!

You will need some kind of container for them. They do not stand on their own.

I keep them sealed in the bag they arrive in. It has a Ziploc seal. I usually store them in a drawer.

When I received mine they were stacked so tight I had to have our neighbor next door pry them apart. He is a strong 30ish young man and he even had a time with them. I put a small towel or dish cloth between them and stack them off center to store them. So to answer your question they do not nest well. Put a cloth of some kind between them.

Yes I understand they should be stored refrigerated, except for the one you are using. That is what I do.

No they are not self storing and will need to store elsewhere. I use all but 1 leaf and store on the side of a freezer which is in a corner and out of site and also protects it.

I store them in the pantry. I have never had a problem since they are dehydrated and will keep a very long time.

I store mine in a plastic container, otherwise known as a dough bucket which has a tight seal when closed, and keep it in the pantry. No refrigeration is necessary.

I store mine in the freezer. I would imagine if they are sealed properly they will keep Indefinitley, mine have been in the freezer for a year or so and are as good as the day I put them there.

I refrigerate them in the bag they came in. Take out what you need and let them warm before use. I dip them in clonex solution before use

Put them in a covered jar and place a damp paper towel on them in a cool, dark place. That will help keep them. Some people wrap them individually in plastic to keep them airtight but I think the former works better. Hope this helps!

It depends on how you store them, and how much of a perfectionist you are. I vacuum seal them in quart mason jars as soon as I receive them, and store them in a low cool cabinet. They are fine for 6 months.

They have to be removed and stored elsewhere. Storage has not been an issue since they are not very big or heavy so they are easy to store.

I just keep them in a drawer since they have sleeves. Make sure they are clean and dry before putting in the sleeves.

I store mine in masons jars and have had them for weeks with no problem. Still fresh.

I have had mine for a year and they have not chipped. I store them together nesting.
