How To
How do you store your cooking spices?
I'll show you how to store spices properly for best results. 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, spices should be stored in dark cupboards. Spices lose their flavor quickly if these conditions don't exist.
It is the best way to preserve spices' flavours by keeping them out of direct sunlight.
To create a flavorful drink, you can add spices and herbs to water. Mix two teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 1/2 cup warm water. Stir well. Add a squeezed lemon juice and serve immediately.
Add dried herbs and spices to soups. 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.
Fresh herbs and spices can be enjoyed by being chopped or broken up. Also, you can freeze herbs and spice by placing them into ice cube dishes or muffin cups. Once frozen, transfer them to freezer bags and zip-top plastic bag.
