Family-Friendly Tips

• Make it interactive: Let kids choose their own fillings and roll their own
• Prep ahead: Cut vegetables the night before and store in airtight containers
• Lunch box hack: Wrap individual rolls in damp paper towel, then plastic wrap
• Picky eaters: Keep vegetable components separate so kids can customize

Storage

• Best eaten fresh
• Can be stored wrapped in damp paper towel in fridge for up to 4 hours
• Don't freeze - rice paper becomes too soft
