How To
How to store spices for cooking?
I will tell you how to store cooking spices for optimal performance. We must first understand the science behind food storage.
Because spices lose their flavour when exposed to the sun, they are best kept out of reach from light. This is due oxygen reacting with organic compounds such that spices, causing oxidation.
To avoid oxidation, spices must be kept in dark cupboards. Spices lose their flavor quickly if these conditions don't exist.
Keep spices fresh by storing them in airtight jars out of direct sunlight.
For a flavoured beverage, add herbs and spices. For example, mix two teaspoons of ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup of warm water and stir well. Add a squeezed lemon juice and serve immediately.
You can add dried herbs and spices to soups, stews, casseroles, pasta, rice dishes, salads, and desserts. Spread the spice mixture evenly onto the dish. Allow it to sit for between 5-10 minutes before serving.
You can add leftover cooked vegetables, fruits, meats and shellfish to your favorite recipes as snacks.
To get the best flavours from fresh herbs and spices, cut them or tear them and add them to hot foods. Also, you can freeze herbs and spice by placing them into ice cube dishes or muffin cups. Once frozen, transfer to freezer bags or zip-top plastic bags.
