How To

How to choose which spices to buy

Knowing how to choose the best herbs and spices for your dishes is essential to being a good cook. There are hundreds to choose from, so where should you start when choosing the right ones for your pantry?

When choosing spices, there are three things you should consider: the flavour profile, shelf-life, and cost. You can choose to use different flavour profiles depending on whether your cooking involves meat, poultry or fish, vegetables and pasta. Once you have decided on a category you will need to narrow your options based on the differences.

Shelf lives vary greatly too. Some spices keep forever, while some others are prone to deterioration quickly. For example, cayenne pepper lasts for years, whereas oregano loses its potency after two months. The price is another factor. Spices can cost anywhere from $1 per tablespoon up to $100 per ounce. This means you need to balance quality and price.

Also, consider whether organic or not 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.

Online shopping is the best way for you to make sure that you have the right spices in your kitchen. Online retailers provide comprehensive information on every product, including pricing, reviews and ratings.

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