How To

How to store cooking spices?

I will tell you how to store cooking spices for optimal performance. First of all, we need to establish an understanding of the science behind the storage of foodstuffs.

Keep spices out of direct sunlight as light will reduce their flavor. 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. If these conditions are not met, spices will quickly lose their flavour.

Keep spices fresh by storing them in airtight jars out of direct sunlight.

You can add herbs and spices to water to make a flavoured drink. For example, mix two teaspoons of ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup of warm water and stir well. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon.

You can add dried herbs and spices to soups, stews, casseroles, pasta, rice dishes, salads, and desserts. Place the spice mixture on top of the dish and allow it to rest for 5-10 mins before serving.

As snacks, leftover cooked vegetables and fruits can be added into your favourite recipes.

Fresh herbs and spices can be enjoyed by being chopped or broken up. It is also possible to freeze herbs and spices in muffin cups or ice cube trays. Transfer frozen items to zip-top or freezer bags.
