No, it should be stored in a cool, dry place with the lid closed. Refrigeration is not required and could actually introduce moisture that affects the powder.
What is the difference between a ranch seasoning powder and a ranch dressing mix packet?
Ranch dressing mix packets are typically designed to be combined with mayonnaise and buttermilk to make a finished dressing and often contain crystalline seasoning. A ranch seasoning powder like this one is a finer, ready-to-use blend that can be sprinkled directly on food or mixed into dips, dressings, and marinades without extra preparation.
