Storage Instructions:
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Over time, chili powder can lose some of its potency, so it’s best used within 6 months for maximum flavor. Avoid storing it in humid or warm environments, as moisture can affect the spice quality.
