How to store your spices?
Keep them in an airtight, dry container away from heat or light.
To store spices for longer periods of time, place them in a dark cupboard. This will keep the spices fresh and prevent any oxidation.
Keep your spices out of direct sunlight and in a cool dry place. The spice may lose flavour and aroma if placed near a window or heater.
Spices need to be kept in an airtight glass container or tin. If storing in plastic containers, make sure there is no moisture inside the container.
It is vital to always check the seal after opening, resealing and before storing.
Do not throw away any spices that you have left over. Don't throw them away, instead use them in new recipes. They can be frozen to prolong their shelf-life.

How To
How to decide what spices to buy?
Cooking requires you to learn how to choose the right herbs for your recipes. There are hundreds to choose from, so where should you start when choosing the right ones for your pantry?
When selecting spices, you need to be aware of three key factors: cost, shelf life, flavour, and cost. There are many flavour profiles that can be used depending on how you cook meat, poultry, fish and vegetables as well as beans, grains, pastas, eggs, bread, cakes, and other foods. So once you've decided on a category, you'll need to narrow down your choices based on these differences.
Shelf lives vary greatly too. Some spices keep forever, while some others are prone to deterioration quickly. For example, cayenne pepper is good for years and oregano lasts only two months. Then there's the price. The price of spices can vary from $1 per tablespoon to over $100 per ounce. This means that spice prices can vary widely.
It's also important to determine if organic or nonorganic ingredients you prefer. 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 method to ensure that you get the right spices for the kitchen. Online retailers offer detailed information about each product, including reviews, pricing, ratings, and ingredient lists.
Once you've narrowed your list, you can order directly from the retailer. Once you have received your items safely store them in an airtight container, away from heat & light.
