Storing extra Amla powder?

[amberpotamus]

I know that Amla paste can be stored in the freezer, but should/can extra powder also be stored in the freezer, like henna powder? And if so, does it need any extra prep once taken out before it's usable as normal? (I'm a complete Amla novice, but excited to try it out for the first time later this week... But I bought two packets, so I just wanted to figure out what to do with the second packet for now.)

I just store it at room temperature. It's not a dye and it doesn't seem to be temperature sensitive.

Awesome, that makes sense; it's not like I put spices in the freezer... Thanks!

Just make sure it's well sealed, it LOVES to clump.

Lol, that seems very apparent!! I haven't actually opened either sealed package yet, but they're like little bricks compared to the henna I also got!
