This creates a crisp crust, which is also sweeter. Your spices should be stored in any area that is dark and cool. Storing spices in lighted areas or warm areas can reduce their length of freshness. If you store your spices in dark place with relatively low temperatures like a pantry, the spices will retain their taste and take longer to spoil.
