Low heat drying preserves the vitamin C in Chiles but does not kill insect
eggs. We store (in the freezer) all ground Chile flakes and powders in 1/2
gal. mason jars. This will kill any little insect eggs that could hatch and
eat the Chile powder. Transfer to a small jar or shaker top bottle for every
day use, refill as needed. Use large plastic bags to freeze whole dried
Chiles also.
