Pumpkin spice is best stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place, like a pantry or spice cabinet. Properly stored, pumpkin spice can last for up to 2-3 years without significant loss of flavor. Always check for aroma; if the spice loses its distinctive scent, it's time to replace it. Avoid storing near heat sources or in direct sunlight to maintain its quality and potency.
