APR needs to be stored in very airtight containers. The little "triangles" of
APR that are sold in the stores are NOT airtight. They turn brown after
awhile. If it doesn't have a faint "eggy" smell, it's no longer any good.
Make sure that you store the majority of your APR in the freezer tightly
sealed.
