How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
To maintain its freshness and potency, store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture from entering and clumping the seasoning. This will help preserve the aromatic qualities of the herbs and spices.
