TIPS FOR VACUUM SEALING DRIED HERBS

When preparing dried herbs for vacuum sealing, a few important points should always be observed:

Be certain that your herbs are very dry. When your dried flowers and herbs are ready for vacuum 

sealing, make sure there isn’t additional moisture hidden in the stems. If you attempt to bend the 

stems, they should snap and break. When stems crease instead of breaking, this indicates that there 

is still too much moisture contained in them. If you vacuum seal herbs that are not sufficiently dry, 

mold and/or anaerobic bacteria is very likely to grow within the sealed package and will ruin the 

aroma, safety, and quality of the herbs.

Don’t over-vacuum your dried herbs. During the vacuum process, before the heat seal happens, 

dried flowers and herbs can become crushed if the vacuum is engaged for too long a period. Once 

the package starts to form around your herbs, engage the heat seal function. This will stop the 

vacuum from removing the last bit of air from the package, and prevent your herbs from being 

smashed. You may need to try different vacuum times to achieve the desired effect.

Prevent stems from puncturing the vacuum bag. Our vacuum bags are very strong, so punctures 

are unlikely. However, if a stem or other sharp object should cause a puncture in the vacuum bag,
