How To
How can I store my cooking spices?
I will tell you how to store cooking spices for optimal performance. First, we must understand how food is stored.
Because spices lose their flavour when exposed to the sun, they are best kept out of reach from light. This is due to oxygen combining with organic compounds, such as spices.
To prevent oxidation, spices should be stored in dark cupboards. These conditions can cause spices to quickly lose their flavor.
Keep spices fresh by storing them in airtight jars out of direct sunlight.
To create a flavorful drink, you can add spices and herbs to water. Mix 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup of warm liquid and stir. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon.
Add dried herbs and spices to soups. Just sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the dish. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before you serve.
You can add leftover cooked vegetables, fruits, meats and shellfish to your favorite recipes as snacks.
To get the best flavours from fresh herbs and spices, cut them or tear them and add them to hot foods. You can also freeze spices and herbs by placing them in muffin cups or ice trays and freezing them. Once frozen, transfer to freezer bags or zip-top plastic bags.
