How to store spices for cooking?

This article will show you how to store cooking spice for optimal performance. First, let's understand how foods are stored.

Keep spices out of direct sunlight as light will reduce their flavor. This is due to oxygen combining with organic compounds, such as spices.

To prevent oxidation, spices should be stored in dark cupboards. Spices will lose their flavour quickly if the conditions aren’t met.

You can preserve the flavor of spices by keeping them in sealed jars, away from direct sunlight.

You can add herbs and spices to water to make a flavoured drink. To make a cinnamon-flavored drink, combine two teaspoons of ground ginger with half a cup of warm water. Stir and mix well. Add a squeeze or lemon juice to the mixture and serve immediately.

You can add dried herbs and spices to soups, stews, casseroles, pasta, rice dishes, salads, and desserts. Simply sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the dish and sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.

If you have leftover cooked vegetables, fruit, meats, poultry, fish, shellfish, eggs, cheese, bread, crackers, cookies, cakes, pies, or puddings, they can be added to your favourite recipes as snacks.

You can enjoy the fresh flavours of fresh herbs or spices by chopping them up and adding them to food while they are still hot. Also, you can freeze herbs and spice by placing them into ice cube dishes or muffin cups. Once frozen, place them in freezer bags or zip-top bags.
