Pollen Long Term Storage

For long term storage

I dry the pollen sacks very dry in a open jar until there is no moisture. I then wrap the pollen in wax paper and fold into a package.

Add a small amount of rice to a small Tupperware container,put in pollen packet,(dont forget to label it) snap on the lid and stick in the back of the freezer.

I have kept pollen viable for a year and a half this way, it does lose some potency over time.

I usually sift out the green pods but this time I left it in to see if it might keep longer, its all bone dry.
