There has to be some elite grandma tech for this.

Where I live even with all the precautions in the world my onion and garlic powders in particular absorb moisture very quickly and turn into rocks that I have to chip at to use.

put some rice in the jar

or submit to nature and scrape/grate off the block as needed. maybe you can have it cake into a more convenient shape, like flat and thin like a cracker that would be easier to work with. crack it in pieces and store that way.

Seeing how rice illiterate a lot of the world is I'd like to clarify on your behalf:

Uncooked rice. Put some grains of dry, uncooked rice in the spice bottle. It's fairly common in equatorial areas, as it's cheap and it's effective.

I think I'll start leaving half a cup of rice inside the outer-most container that all the spices live in as prophylaxis.

not sure if it'll work. but up to you.

if you don't want to mix rice with your stuff, you can put it in a little thin bag like a teabag.
