How to Store Spices

They should be kept out of direct sunlight and heat in an airtight container.

Place them in a dark cupboard to store spices for extended periods. This will help keep them fresh and prevent any deterioration due to oxidation.

Keep spices dry and away from sunlight in a cool, dry place. It is possible for the spice to lose its flavor and aroma if it's placed in close proximity to a window or heater.

Spices work best in an airtight jar or tin. If you are storing your spices in plastic containers, ensure there is no moisture.

Always check the seal after opening and resealing, as humidity can cause spoilage.

Do not throw away any spices that you have left over. Make sure to use leftover spices in other recipes. For an extended shelf life, you can freeze the vegetables.

How do you make a garlic press?
