Storing unhydrated coir
    #26522572 - 03/07/20 05:40 PM (3 years, 11 months ago)

5 months ago I bought a bulk brick of coir and broke it up and made a bunch of freezer bags with 650 grams of coir.

When I broke the brick up it was very condensed and hard to break up. Now 5 months later the coir is super brittle and I can break it up with my hands.

Do you think it's still good? I'm just confused why it is now so easy to break up.

It’s still good. It’s probably a combo of absorbing moisture from the air and not being packaged so it’s slowly expanding.

I bought 12lb bricks and just have them in a big plastic bag. I use a big knife to pry pieces off but I haven’t noticed it getting any easier over time.

Freezing things generally makes them more brittle. Shouldn't make a difference.


Out of curiosity, is there any advantage to freezing over keeping in a cool dry place?

No I put them in freezer bags. I never froze them.

It probably just oxidized a bit. Should still be good after the soak.

Yeah, oxidation can do that. Cellular structure holds moisture. Break down that structure and it'll hold less water.
