How to Store Spices

Keep them out of the sun and heat.

For longer storage, store spices in a dark cabinet. This will preserve them and prevent any oxidation.

Keep spices dry and away from sunlight in a cool, dry place. It is possible for the spice to lose its flavor and aroma if it's placed in close proximity to a window or heater.

Spices need to be kept in an airtight glass container or tin. If you are storing your spices in plastic containers, ensure there is no moisture.

As humidity can cause mold growth, it is important to check the seal before opening or resealing.

Don't toss out any leftover spices. Instead, use them up by adding them to other dishes. To extend their shelf life, you can freeze them.

Which Thai spice do I need to cook Thai food at home?

To make authentic Thai food at home, you'll need to master five essential spices: black pepper, cayenne, coriander seeds, turmeric, and cinnamon. Each ingredient has a unique flavor profile and plays an essential role in creating delicious dishes.

Black pepper enhances the savoury flavors of curry powder, while cinnamon gives it sweetness. Curry powder gets its yellow hue from turmeric and coriander seeds. Cayenne peppers are hot, and cilantro adds freshness. Cinnamon adds complexity and depth to any dish.

Each of these spices can be found at your local grocery, but you may prefer to buy them online.

How To

How to choose which spices to buy

Cooking requires you to learn how to choose the right herbs for your recipes. There are hundreds of choices, so where can you start when choosing which spices to add to your kitchen?

When choosing spices, there are three things you should consider: the flavour profile, shelf-life, and cost. You can choose to use different flavour profiles depending on whether your cooking involves meat, poultry or fish, vegetables and pasta. So once you've decided on a category, you'll need to narrow down your choices based on these differences.

There are many factors that affect shelf life. Some spices last forever, while others expire quickly. Cayenne pepper can last for many years, while oregano only loses its potency in two months. Price is another important factor. Spices can range anywhere from $1 per tablespoon to more than $100 per ounce. This means that you will need to strike a balance between quality and value.

You'll also want to determine whether you prefer organic or non-organic ingredients. Organic products have fewer pesticides and chemicals that conventional products, which is better for your health as well as the environment. But they can often be more expensive so make sure you weigh the benefits against their costs.

Online shopping is the best way for you to make sure that you have the right spices in your kitchen. Online retailers provide comprehensive information on every product, including pricing, reviews and ratings.

Once you've narrowed your list, you can order directly from the retailer. After you have received your items, keep them safe in an airtight container away from heat or light.
