How To

How to store spices for cooking?

How to store cooking spices in a way that maximizes their performance. First, we must understand how food is stored.

Because light can diminish the flavour of spices, they should be kept in sealed containers. This is due to oxygen combining with organic compounds, such as spices.

To prevent oxidation of spices, keep them 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.

You can flavor water by adding herbs and spices. To make a cinnamon-flavored drink, combine two teaspoons of ground ginger with half a cup of warm water. Stir and mix well. Add a squeeze or lemon juice to the mixture and serve immediately.

Add dried herbs and spices to soups. Simply sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the dish and sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.

You can add leftover cooked vegetables, fruits, meats and shellfish to your favorite recipes as 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 freeze herbs or spices by placing them on ice cube tray or muffin cups. Once frozen, place them in freezer bags or zip-top bags.
