How To
How do you store your cooking spices?
How to store cooking spices in a way that maximizes their performance. First, it is important to understand the science behind how foodstuffs are stored.
Because spice's flavour is diminished by light exposure, it should be stored in airtight containers. This is due to oxygen combining with organic compounds, such as spices.
To prevent oxidation of spices, keep them in dark cupboards. These conditions can cause spices to quickly lose their flavor.
Keep spices in airtight containers away from direct sun to preserve their flavour.
You can add herbs and spices to water to make a flavoured drink. Mix two teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 1/2 cup warm water. Stir well. Serve immediately by adding a squeeze lemon juice.
Dried herbs can be added to soups stews, casseroles pasta dishes rice dishes salads and desserts. Simply sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the dish and sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Remaining cooked vegetables, fruit and meats can be used in your favorite recipes to make snacks.
If you want to take advantage of the flavours of fresh herbs and spices, chop or tear them up and add them to foods while they're still hot. You can also freeze spices and herbs by placing them in muffin cups or ice trays and freezing them. Once frozen, transfer them to freezer bags and zip-top plastic bag.
