Keeping it
Four rules, and the shelf life looks after itself.
Cool and dry
A cupboard is right. A sunny windowsill is not.
Out of the sunlight
Light can shift the colour of a powder. Cooking brings it back, but there is no reason to let it happen.
Reseal it
Most of this is hygroscopic, which means it pulls moisture out of the air. Close the bag and it keeps.
Once it is open, use it
A tin is sized for about four people and is meant to be finished.
Put a hundred grams in water and see for yourself.
