Ah yes, I can tell if a storm is coming based on the clumpiness of the dragon fruit

Humidity causes this. A way to make it less likely is to shake the dust out of the bag before putting it into the container. Open the bag and hold the bag upside down, keeping it shut with your fingers, and shake the dry dragonfruit dust off into the trash.

It’s humidity, good luck. SC here and it does this all summer.

It's from humidity. There really isn't much you can do other than using plastic wrap instead of the lid to get a better seal.

Make sure you dry up your inclusion containers before putting inclusions in it. Some of the partners at my store are baffled by this and all it is is drying out the container lol

Humidity is a huge thing, but as a partner in Indiana, I can also say it matters where you store them. I realized they clump up when placed around the heat of a bar or near our sticker printers. So now we store them aside from basically everything except lids.

It’s too humid- keep them covered.

Are they stored somewhere on bar where they're getting wet? Might have to talk to your manager/SSV about moving them if so

We used to put them in the metal tins you use for coffee grounds because they have a lid that seals. It's a life changer for keeping them from clumping

Same is happening in Ohio with the humidity

Ours don’t last a few hours because without clumping. The humidity is so high.
We just struggle. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I live in Mississippi..... and this is a constant problem.

You need a dehumidifier in your store we had to have one in florida because of this issue!

Make like Yzma and "SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER"

put plastic wrap on them if ur not using them for extended periods of time

We broke up one bag of incisions into like 3 containers. More dishes, yes, but it prevented this.

sometimes i have to throw away half of the inclusion bubble because they’re all stuck to the bottom! it’s a pain and super unfortunate

I hear a lot of people saying its the humidity. They are right.
There used to be plastic covers for inclusion tops when I worked at sbux. If you don’t have them, ask your manager- they may be able to order them still!

Cover them with Saran wrap or the kids that come with the container all the time and especially over night

Walk out

Do you keep it in an open tray?

The store I used to work for kept the dragon pieces refrigerated when we first made them. Maybe when you don’t need them and there’s some down time, you can put it in the fridge to keep it from clumping. That’s my guess, at least

lid lid lid lid. put a lid on it

it’s cus of liquid! ours get like this cus tea drips down (cus they’re right under where we have tea)!
