Keeping your powders fresh
Three habits that keep colour and aroma bright to the last spoon.
- Press the zip shut every time. Air and moisture are what dull the colour.
- Keep pouches away from the stove and the window. Heat and sunlight fade them faster.
- Use a dry spoon, never the one that has been in the dal.
Opened pouches are at their best within two to three months. Unopened, they keep for twelve months from packing.
