How to Store Seasoning

Product recommendations may contain affiliate links to products that we love. We may earn a small commission if you choose to purchase the item.

We recommend storing your homemade spice blend in a glass jar, and love the look of Bamboo lid glass jars, but personally use Quilted Crystal Jelly Jars with Reusable Regular Mouth Food Storage Lids. You can use any glass or spice jar on hand as long as it is airtight.

Store your spice blend for up to 1 year and enjoy!
