How long does fennel powder last?
Fennel powder typically lasts 6 to 12 months when stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. After this, it loses its potency and aroma.
Can I freeze fennel powder?
While possible, it is not recommended as moisture can easily enter the container and cause clumping or mold. Room temperature storage is best.
What is a good substitute for fennel powder?
Anise powder or ground caraway seeds are the best substitutes due to their similar licorice-like flavor profile.
