It sounds like the "brown lumpy things" might have been clumps of the seasoning blend. That reacted with moisture. That happens to most of my spice/seasoning blends here in humid Mississippi. Especially when shaking the container over a steamy pot. I just scape the mixture out and mash it with the back of a spoon until it is somewhat sprinkleable. I could probably dry it out by heating it, too.
I have way too many seasonings, but I know my food will never be bland LOL

The moisture in the air is creating that effect, making them stick together.

Recently bought a lot of spices for $1.00 each on a special price.

Well AG, you can freeze spices! They stay fresh, I know someone who got her mother in law’s spices from the 80’s and 90’s from her freezer and they are fresh and very tasty! She actually thinks some of the older ones are better than today’s spices, more flavorful. Our food has changed in its sourcing that’s for sure. So now I’m freezing my extras in a tub in the freezer, or you could wrap them in tin foil I would think. Who knew? 🤷‍♀️🥰🇺🇸

For small spaces & or RV's, I found at Sams club (over a year ago) a wooden holder of 24 tubes of many different spices & blends. Imagine clear test tubes in a holder standing upright. They are in plastic tubes with screw on caps (so much bad things on plastic but these are not heated up to leach in anthing so Im not worried) but what a wonderful find to have at your fingertip a spice without searching for or you can refill. Very space-saving. Hope this idea helps someone. 😊

Excellent advice as always AG. 👍
TFS AG, take care & keep really busy everyone. ❤️🙂🐶

Thanks, good tips. I totally agree for most spices, smaller size is a good plan. Dried minced or chopped onions is great to have on hand in case you need onions but ran out of the fresh ones. The spices may continue to go up in price if there are poor harvests plus the costs to ship them long distances. Herbs like parsley and basil are usually easy to grow inside or in your garden and they are different than spices like cinnamon and pepper than are grown in tropical locations and not grown in most places like the US. We keep mini storage containers you can find at Dollar Tree on hand. If someone comes to you needing a spice or herb you can give them a little that way.

one of the areas that I consistently overlook during inventory and rotation schedule! need to step up my inventory game!

[KaylynnStrain]

I have stashes of spices in addition to what is in my kitchen. I put packets in ziplock bags before putting tbem in my storage containers

[tonette]

I order herbs and spices in bulk, and vacuum-seal them, or put them in tight-fitting jars, (sometimes vacuum-sealing). There has not been a problem. I intend to make sure I have plenty of herbs and spices. I keep smaller containers in the kitchen and refill them. I have some mixes and I vac-seal them or put them in glass jars. With herbs and spices mostly being imported, I want no chance of them not being available.

Good ideas, thanks for sharing, YAH bless !

Thanks AG!! I like to vacuum seal containers and then store them in a tub. Happy Sunday

[judykennedy]

I'm with you on buying the small containers. But I do buy garlic powder and onion powder in a bigger bottle as I use them almost daily. Great video!

[johnmeyer]

I always use a felt marker and put the month and year purchased as some spices deteriorate faster then others.

I have been researching and learning about and trying unusual (for me in the US) spices and spice blends popular around the world. If I had to eat rice and beans/lentils often I want to know plenty of different ways to change the taste. I tried a spice blend from the country of Georgia called khmeli suneli, on some sauteed cabbage that was delicious! It is really fun to experiment!

Beware! I found some little black bugs in a plastic spice jar of "Chili Powder". The cap has a flap to open and shake. Apparently the seal you peel off had loosened in storage. Thats the only one I've had a problem with, and so it may have come from the store that way. I may not have noticed it if i hadn't spilled some of it on the counter and noticed the tiny specs moving around! 😜

I got some freeze dried garlic and herbs at Big Lots before it closed. I just started using them. They are fantastic! They are almost like fresh after rehydrating them. I'm hoping that I can find a source for more freeze dried herbs, because they are so much better than the dehydrated.
