How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
To maintain its crispness and flavor, store any unused portion in an airtight container or resealable bag. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Proper storage will prevent the mix from becoming stale or losing its characteristic spicy aroma.
