How To

How do you store your cooking spices?

I'll show you how to store spices properly for best results. First, it is important to understand the science behind how foodstuffs are stored.

Because spice's flavour is diminished by light exposure, it should be stored in airtight containers. This is due to oxygen combining with organic compounds, such as spices.

To prevent oxidation, spices should be stored in dark cupboards. Spices lose their flavor quickly if these conditions don't exist.

Keep spices in airtight containers away from direct sun to preserve their flavour.

For a flavoured beverage, add herbs and spices. Mix 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup of warm liquid and stir. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and serve immediately.

Dry herbs and spices can also be used in soups, stews or casseroles. Place the spice mixture on top of the dish and allow it to rest for 5-10 mins before serving.

Remaining cooked vegetables, fruit and meats can be used in your favorite recipes to make snacks.

For the best flavor of fresh herbs, you can chop them up or tear them apart and then add them to your favorite foods. You can also freeze spices and herbs by placing them in muffin cups or ice trays and freezing them. Once frozen, transfer to freezer bags or zip-top plastic bags.
