🌡️ Storage

After making the dry onion soup mix, transfer it to a dry and airtight container or glass jar with a lid and store it in the pantry or your spice cabinet.

We like to place 2-3 silica gel packets into the onion mix.

These moisture-absorbent packets are great for keeping garlic and onion powder fresh and dry.

Garlic and onion powder when stored for a long time, absorb moisture and clump into one solid mass, which is difficult to work back into a powder.

This may not be a problem if it is being dissolved in a liquid, but if you are mixing it with meat to make meatloaf or in a dip you don't want those lumpy bits.
