How To

How do you decide which spices to purchase?

To cook, you'll need to know how to choose the right herbs and spices for your recipes. There are many choices. So where do you start?

When choosing spices, there are three things you should consider: the 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. Once you've settled on a category, it's time to narrow down your choices.

You will also find that shelf lives can vary. Some spices last forever, while others expire quickly. For example, cayenne pepper is good for years and oregano lasts only two months. Price is another important factor. Spices are available in a range of prices, from $1 per tablespoon to more expensive than $100 per an ounce. This means you need to balance quality and price.

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.

Shopping online is the best way to ensure you pick the right spices for your kitchen. Online retailers offer comprehensive information about every product, including price, reviews, ratings, and ingredients.

Once you've narrowed down the list, it's possible to order directly from the retailer. You should store your items in airtight containers, away from heat and sunlight once you receive them.
