How To
How do you decide which spices to purchase?
It is important to know how you can choose the right spices and herbs to cook. There are many choices. So where do you start?
There are three main factors to consider when choosing spices: flavour profile, shelf life, and cost. Flavour profiles differ depending on whether you're cooking meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, beans, grains, pasta, eggs, dessert, bread, etc. So once you've decided on a category, you'll need to narrow down your choices based on these differences.
Also, shelf lives can vary widely. Some spices are good for a lifetime, while others can be lost quickly. For example, cayenne pepper is good for years and oregano lasts only two months. Price is another important factor. Spices can range anywhere from $1 per tablespoon to more than $100 per ounce. This means you have to strike the right balance between quality and cost.
Also, consider whether organic or not organic ingredients. Organic products are safer for the environment and contain less pesticides and chemicals than their conventional counterparts. These products can also be more costly so make sure to weigh the benefits against the costs.
The best way to get the perfect spices for your home is to shop online. Online retailers offer detailed information about each product, including reviews, pricing, ratings, and ingredient lists.
Once you have narrowed down your choices, you can place an online order with the retailer. Once you receive your items, store them safely in airtight containers away from heat and light.
