Frequently Asked Questions

How To

How do you decide which spices to purchase?

To cook, you'll need to know how to choose the right herbs and spices for your recipes. There are hundreds of choices, so where can you start when choosing which spices to add to your kitchen?

Three factors are important to consider when choosing spices. They are the taste profile, shelf live, and price. Flavour profiles differ depending on whether you're cooking meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, beans, grains, pasta, eggs, dessert, bread, etc. You'll need to narrow your choices once you've chosen a category.

You will also find that shelf lives can vary. Some spices can last forever while others go bad quickly. Cayenne pepper has a long shelf life, while oregano is only good for two months. Price is another important factor. Spices can cost anywhere from $1 per tablespoon up to $100 per ounce. This means you need to balance quality and price.

Also, you will need to choose whether organic or non-organic ingredients are more appealing. Organic products are less chemically and pesticide-laden than other alternatives. They are better for your environment and health. However, they often cost more, so you'll need to weigh those costs against the benefits.

Shopping online is the best way to ensure you pick the right spices for your kitchen. Online retailers offer detailed information about each product, including reviews, pricing, ratings, and ingredient lists.

Once you have narrowed your selection, you are able to place an order directly at the retailer. After you have received your items, keep them safe in an airtight container away from heat or light.
