What ends it. Nothing in it spoils. Keep it dry and the packet gives out before the food does. How to make it last longer
Storage
Dry. The salt for fermenting: sold as pure dried vacuum salt, pickling salt or fine sea salt. Check the label, because an anti-caking agent clouds a brine. Fine grains also measure by the spoon far more consistently than flakes.
