Store in a cool, dry, well‑ventilated place at ambient temperature (away from direct sunlight)—tubers stay firm and usable for about 2 to 3 weeks under these conditionsFor longer freshness, refrigerate after gently cleaning and drying—wrap in a paper towel and place in a breathable container in the fridge crisper; this can extend usability by an additional week or more while slowing spoilage
