I don't think the high wind is good for anything but glass jars.
Polyethylene is not good for keeping freshness. I store my homemade
habanero powder in bell jars, even so, it degenerates over a period of
years. I also add salt.

I get 6 oz containers at my grocery. It's packed by a local source, and
they sell for $4-5 . I can also buy any quantity from another Italian
store, which carries most spices in bulk.
