How To

How to store spices for cooking?

I'll show you how to store spices properly for best results. First, we must understand how food is stored.

Spices are stored in airtight containers away from the light because exposure to light diminishes their flavour. This is due to oxidation which occurs when oxygen combines with organic compounds such as those found in spices.

To prevent oxidation of spices, keep them in dark cupboards. If these conditions are not met, spices will quickly lose their flavour.

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

You can add herbs and spices to water to make a flavoured drink. Mix 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup of warm liquid and stir. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and serve immediately.

Dried herbs can be added to soups stews, casseroles pasta dishes rice dishes salads and desserts. Just sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the dish. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before you serve.

As snacks, leftover cooked vegetables and fruits can be added into your favourite recipes.

If you want to take advantage of the flavours of fresh herbs and spices, chop or tear them up and add them to foods while they're still hot. Also, you can freeze herbs and spice by placing them into ice cube dishes or muffin cups. Once frozen transfer to zip-top plastic bags or freezer bags.
