How to store it
Store spices in airtight jars away from light, heat and moisture. Ground spices lose their aroma within months, while whole ones (cinnamon sticks, cloves, peppercorns) keep it far longer - grind them just before use. Seasoning pastes such as achiote should be refrigerated once opened.
