Whatever you cook can be put into these boxes. Any leftovers seem to keep fresh longer.

I have other containers so I store produce. I chunked a watermelon and it was still fresh at about 10 days. My carrots cleaned and sliced in sticks, still good after 2 weeks. Washed and dried, I have yet to find any produce that doesn't keep for just under a month.

You would need to buy a thermal container. Most bento boxes (like this one) are just plastic (usually microwavable) or metal (not microwavable) containers.

The only thing in the box is air. You can fill it with whatever you like. ;)

I keep the unopened packages on a cupboard. Once opened I store the bag in the fridge - but I bought a large bag and didn't eat them quick enough and the got moldy - but that was after a few weeks in the fridge!

I purchased the rectangular boxes and we use them for leftovers and lunches. They are also great for single serving meals that can be frozen. They are microwave & dishwasher safe! So it's a win all over :)

Rice keeps for years with no deterioration without refrigeration. My partner is Indonesian and we eat rice every day. Often buy up to 30 pounds on Amazon and store in a cupboard in our garage where it is relatively cool and dry. It should not be stored where is will absorb moisture.

I store them in a food safe plastic storage bucket bucket. The lid has a gasket around the screw on lid. I've been using them for years and my wheat berries last a long time. Also, I store the bucket in a mostly cool dry area. The buckets are really nice for large quantities of wheat, rice, beans, etc.

There was no info on storage so I left mine tightly sealed in a cabinet. I know the ones in pre made boxes are shelved so that's what I did... I can't imagine putting it in the fridge would be a bad idea though, so whatever you are comfortable with..

The top tier with the vents is for foods that would go soggy/gross in a closed container. Fresh things like cherry tomatoes, mandarin oranges, grapes, crackers, cookies etc and foods put in warm like rice, sandwiches, rolls, etc. If youre worried about things getting in your food, put your bento in a special bento bag. You can also line the box with cling film or wax paper before you put food in!

You can store the unopened packets in the cupboard or pantry. Once a packet is opened, you will need to refrigerate the uneaten remainder.

They actually suggest refrigeration, but I order these in bulk in 25 lb boxes and store them in a large kitchen cabinet, and I can attest that they last at least a year. I would like to put some in my food storage but haven't tried it yet. I think if they're dry packed in foil pouches or buckets with an O2 pack, they would probably last quite a while. The big threat would be rancidity, but since they have a very low fat content, I think they'd be OK. I can't see why they'd be any different than TVP.

It's not going to work on refrigerated stuff, so put them in rice, beans, oat meal and so on. You'll be able to tell just by the freshness over time and if there is nothing crawling around in whatever; they're working.

you can store both items but you will want to store cold items in top container. As for coldness yeah it doesn't stay that cold but I've put yogurt in there andit was still somewhat cold.

The boxes are stackable and protect food that can be bruised. They are great for asparagus. The bags are good too and they can be washed. I use both the boxes and bags.

They are packed in cardboard boxes that look like milk cartons so, shelf life won't be as long as if it was packed in cans or glass jars. If you keep them dry they'll last quite awhile.
