When stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, it remains potent for 1 to 2 years. It doesn't spoil but loses flavor over time.
Freezing is not recommended as moisture can enter the container and cause clumping or mold when thawed. Room temperature storage is best.
A mix of chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of oregano and salt works well.
Most homemade versions are, but commercial packets often use wheat flour or cornstarch as a thickener. Always check the label for gluten-containing ingredients.
Commercial blends use salt as a primary flavor enhancer and preservative. Look for 'low-sodium' versions or make your own to control salt intake.
A standard store-bought packet usually contains about 1 ounce or roughly 3 tablespoons of seasoning.
Some commercial brands include Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) for flavor. If you are sensitive, check the ingredient list for MSG or yeast extract.
Ensure your measuring spoon is completely dry before dipping it into the container and keep the lid tightly sealed.
