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?
Three factors are important to consider when choosing spices. They are the taste profile, shelf live, and price. Flavour profiles differ depending on whether you're cooking meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, beans, grains, pasta, eggs, dessert, bread, etc. You'll need to narrow your choices once you've chosen a category.
You will also find that shelf lives can vary. Some spices can last forever while others go bad 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 that you will need to strike a balance between quality and value.
You'll also want to determine whether you prefer organic or non-organic ingredients. Organic products use fewer pesticides, chemicals, and other harmful substances than traditional alternatives. This makes them safer for you and the environment. But they can often be more expensive so make sure you weigh the benefits against their costs.
Online shopping is the best way for you to make sure that you have the right spices in your 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. You should store your items in airtight containers, away from heat and sunlight once you receive them.
