How To
How to choose which spices to buy
It is important to know how you can choose the right spices and herbs to cook. There are hundreds to choose from, so where should you start when choosing the right ones for your pantry?
Three factors are important to consider when choosing spices. They are the taste profile, shelf live, and price. You can choose to use different flavour profiles depending on whether your cooking involves meat, poultry or fish, vegetables and pasta. Once you have decided on a category you will need to narrow your options based on the differences.
Shelf lives vary greatly too. Some spices are good for a lifetime, while others can be lost quickly. Cayenne pepper can last for many years, while oregano only loses its potency in two months. Price is another important factor. Spices can cost anywhere from $1 per tablespoon up to $100 per ounce. This means you have to strike the right balance between quality and cost.
You'll also want to determine whether you prefer organic or non-organic ingredients. Organic products have fewer pesticides and chemicals that conventional products, which is better for your health as well as the environment. You'll have to balance the benefits and costs of organic products.
Online shopping is the best option to find the right spices. Online retailers provide detailed information on each product, including ingredient lists, pricing, reviews, and ratings.
Once you have narrowed down your choices, you can place an online order with the retailer. You should store your items in airtight containers, away from heat and sunlight once you receive them.
