Store chili flakes in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place, such as a pantry or spice cabinet. Exposure to light, heat, and moisture will degrade the flavor and potency of the flakes. Properly stored chili flakes can maintain their quality for up to 2-3 years. Avoid refrigerating or freezing, as this can introduce moisture.
