How To
How to store cooking spices?
Here's how to store your cooking spices for maximum performance. First, it is important to understand the science behind how foodstuffs are stored.
Because spices lose their flavour when exposed to the sun, they are best kept out of reach from light. This is due to oxidation which occurs when oxygen combines with organic compounds such as those found in spices.
To avoid oxidation, spice should be kept 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.
To create a flavorful drink, you can add spices and herbs to water. To make a cinnamon-flavored drink, combine two teaspoons of ground ginger with half a cup of warm water. Stir and mix well. Serve immediately by adding a squeeze lemon juice.
Add dried herbs and spices to soups. Spread the spice mixture evenly onto the dish. Allow it to sit for between 5-10 minutes before serving.
Leftover cooked vegetables, fruits and meats, as well as leftover cheese, breads, crackers, cookies or cakes can be added to favorite recipes for 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. It is also possible to freeze herbs and spices in muffin cups or ice cube trays. Once frozen, transfer to freezer bags or zip-top plastic bags.
