Can I freeze fennel powder?
While possible, it is not recommended as moisture can easily enter the container and cause clumping or mold. Room temperature storage is best.
What is a good substitute for fennel powder?
Anise powder or ground caraway seeds are the best substitutes due to their similar licorice-like flavor profile.
