....got into my dried jalapeno peppers. I had to throw out almost a
pound of dried peppers. There's no telling what else they are into, or
what they came home in.

I feel your pain. I lost a bag of anchos that way not long ago. And
some assorted other small treasures. From now on stuff like that I
keep in the deep freeze.

Must have been pretty old?
Just good old fashioned weevil moths.
I tossed an entire can of Hungarian Paprika recently due to the same
issue when I had an archeological dig into the rear depths of the spice
cabinet.How you store stuff is everything it seems...

I refrigerate legumes and rice for that very reason, as well as corn
meal.But, I have the space in the bottom of the Hobart to do that.
They are in jars and bags.
Flour gets kept in the freezer when I have it on hand.
Funny, I've never had that issue with corn starch.

No. Maybe 6 to 8 months old, and still bright dark green; they hadn't
faded yet. I also found worms in a bag of walnuts. I might not have
noticed them in the walnuts if I wasn't looking for them.I've moved my other bagged dried peppers to the freezer. I should have
transfered these to glass jars when i bought them and stored all but one
in the freezer.Quoted message said:

The eggs were probably on the peppers when you brought them home.

I've read that for long term storage, using dry ice in a container
(watched and allowed to outgas!) is a very good thing to do.Me? I'd vac pack now that I have one.
