Where should I store nori or laver after opening, and for how much time?
My brother has given me laver for making Korean kimbap and there are ten “foils” or “sheets” in the package.
I have only used four of them today and I don't know whether I should cool or not the remaining ones. In my opinion the fridge might be too humid and humidity might have sheets stick to each other…
Thank you for your advice.

Just keep it dry. I buy 100 sheets packs and store them in a zip-loc type bag in the cupboard for over a year

Quick Answer about "Where should I store nori or laver after opening, and for how much time?"
If the laver is roasted and seasoned (with oil and salt) it will only last for a day or so after opening depending on heat (oil becomes rancid) and humidity (seawead loses crisp texture). If it is dried seaweed it will keep indefinitely, however I believe it develops a stale taste unless stored in a cool dark place.How long is nori good for once opened?

You can help keep nori fresh by keeping it re-sealed either in its original container, a zip-lock bag or a tightly sealed glass jar along with the "do not eat" package of silica gel that absorbs moisture so that the seaweed will stay dry.
