To use Spices For Rices, simply add it to your rice during or after the cooking process.

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