The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Assuming it's similar to onion powder, with them both being alliums, it's probably fine. Just some humidity got in, happens to brown sugar too.
Make sure it still smells and tastes like its supposed to, and if it does, it can be turned back into a powder in a variety of ways. I'd just reach for a microplane.
as @Candelestine mentioned, “happens to brown sugar too” – most of the allium family are a lot higher in sugar than we give them credit for (it’s just masked by pungent sulfur compounds) and all it takes is a little humidity for the sugar components to start clumping
I’m sure it’s fine. Also happens with both garlic and mango powder in my experience. I just break it up and chuck it in the pan; haven’t died yet.
I would add to the extant conversation by saying that many food ingredients in powdered/granular form are prone to clumping (usually with no ill effect other than inconvenience), and are prevented from doing so by the addition of various anti-caking agents. I can't speak to the food safety of those agents, but personally, I'd rather deal with the clumps.
Do you ever season directly into a hot pan or boiling water? The steam gets into the container and causes clumping.
Solution: season into your hand first, then add to the dish.
