        <content>Help!  A bunch of my brand new salt based spice mixes from Penzeys are coagulating in all this humid weather.  I can't even shake them out.  They are turning into rock hard cylindrical blobs.  Is there a way to reverse this process or keep it from happening in the future?  Is this batch shot?</content>

      <content>Hydroscopic mixes can be rehabilitated by storing them in the refrigerator---I do this with tomato powder and a friend's mom's ground garam masala.</content>
