That the strands have already been dry-roasted at the factory, so you can skip the step of browning them in a pan before you cook. Unroasted vermicelli has to be roasted first or it turns to paste the moment liquid hits it. If a recipe tells you to roast the vermicelli and yours is already roasted, a brief warm-through is enough - taking it further just darkens it.

Less water and less time than feels right. Vermicelli is thin and cooks in a couple of minutes, so it goes from firm to collapsed quickly and keeps softening in its own heat after you take it off. Pull it while the strands still have some resistance, and for a dish like upma add the liquid measured rather than boiling the strands loose in a pot of it.

Both savoury and sweet. The savoury side is upma and vermicelli pulao, cooked with tempering and vegetables so the strands stay separate. The sweet side is payasam and kheer, where it is simmered in milk and the strands are meant to soften right down. The same pack does both.

Because they are thin, dry and brittle, and any pack that has been moved about will have some broken lengths in it. That is normal rather than a fault, and broken strands cook the same - they just look less tidy on the plate.

In a sealed airtight jar, somewhere cool, dark and dry - a cupboard away from the hob, not the shelf above it. Heat, light and steam are what flatten dry spices. Decant from the bag it arrives in rather than leaving it rolled shut, use a dry spoon every time, and keep the jar closed while you cook rather than open beside a steaming pan.

Sealed containers, and a couple of days in the freezer when a pack arrives. Pantry moths usually come in with the goods rather than flying into your kitchen, so treating a pack on arrival catches the problem before it spreads along the shelf.

The ingredient list, any allergen statement, the country of origin and the best-before date, all of which are the manufacturer's to state and are printed on the packaging rather than reproduced here. The product page carries the weight, the barcode and the date as the store entered them.
