Storage Time
Due to its fresh ingredients and delicate nature, temaki avocado cucumber should be consumed within 24 hours when stored properly in the refrigerator. It is not suitable for pantry storage at room temperature.

- The avocado turning dark brown or black and becoming excessively soft or slimy, while the cucumber may appear dull, soft, or watery.
- Sushi rice that has become hard, dry, or crusty, or exhibits any signs of mold growth, which can appear as fuzzy spots of various colors.
- The nori seaweed wrapper becoming overly damp, slimy, or disintegrating easily, losing its characteristic crispness.
