Use airtight containers
Transfer opened packs into clean, dry containers. Glass or food-grade steel containers work well for flours, pulses and spice salts.
- Store away from direct sunlight.
- Use a dry spoon every time.
- Label the opening date for easy rotation.
For flours used slowly, refrigeration can help preserve freshness in warmer months.
