How To
How to choose the right spices?
You need to be able to select the right herbs and spices to use in your cooking. There are hundreds to choose from, so where should you start when choosing the right ones for your pantry?
When choosing spices, there are three things you should consider: the flavour profile, shelf-life, and cost. Depending on whether you are cooking meat, fish, vegetables or pasta, the flavour profiles of spices will vary. Once you've settled on a category, it's time to narrow down your choices.
You will also find that shelf lives can vary. Some spices keep forever, while some others are prone to deterioration quickly. Cayenne pepper, for example, can last years while oregano, on the other hand, loses its potency within two months. Also, the price. Spices are available in a range of prices, from $1 per tablespoon to more expensive than $100 per an ounce. This means you have to strike the right balance between quality and cost.
Also, you will need to choose whether organic or non-organic ingredients are more appealing. 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 option to find the right spices. Online retailers provide comprehensive information on every product, including pricing, reviews and ratings.
After narrowing down your options, you can place an order directly with the retailer. Once you have received your items safely store them in an airtight container, away from heat & light.
