Dunno if this has to do with the local weather, but for me it’s every time I buy them — a week later and they become soft rocks. Even if I use dry spoons and avoid steam from the pots.
Eventually I simply gave up: if a recipe requests either I swap it with the fresh stuff. Except for my fried chicken mix, but then I try to use the whole package ASAP.
I’m this way too. I could break down the whole spice rack I have, but I quit with the onion/garlic powders. I don’t have garlic powder in the house, but the onion powder is a rock. For onion, I use fresh. For garlic I use fresh or I do have dried minced garlic I get in small batches from the co op. Just something about starting a meal with sauteed onions idk . I feel you here
