I had a bad experience with moths once in a long forgotten can of nuts. Nut something I'd care to repeat. I do keep some spices in the freezer, some of the more expensive ones, cardamom some teas, coffee etc. If I had to transfer my spice cabinet to the fridge, I'd be out shopping for a bigger model. -----Original Message----- From: Edmiston [SMTP:edmiston@wardpress.com] Sent: Friday, February 06, 1998 3:46 PM To: chile-heads@globalgarden.com Subject: Re: [CH] refrigeration Michael Schapansky wrote: > > Another good reason to refridgerate is to maintain potency. Well, that's encouraging. Personally, I keep everything zippy, even if it's powdered, in the fridge for fear of attracting bugs. I read somewhere that cayenne and cousins in the cupboard can attract critters and I've had a few too many bad experiences with insects in the past. That's what I get for living downtown, I guess...
