How to Store Spices
Keep them out of the sun and heat.
For longer storage, store spices in a dark cabinet. This will keep the spices fresh and prevent any oxidation.
Keep spices dry and away from sunlight in a cool, dry place. A heater or window can cause the spice to lose its aroma and flavour.
Spices can be best kept in an airtight container or tin. Make sure that there is no moisture in any plastic containers you store spices in.
As humidity can cause mold growth, it is important to check the seal before opening or resealing.
If you have leftover spices, don't throw them away. Instead, use them up by adding them to other dishes. You can even freeze them to extend their shelf life.

How To
How do you store your cooking spices?
I'll show you how to store spices properly for best results. First, it is important to understand the science behind how foodstuffs are stored.
Because light can diminish the flavour of spices, they should be kept in sealed containers. This is caused by oxidation, which happens when oxygen and organic compounds combine like spices.
To prevent oxidation, spices should be stored in dark cupboards. If these conditions are not met, spices will quickly lose their flavour.
Keep spices in airtight containers away from direct sun to preserve their flavour.
You can add herbs and spices to water to make a flavoured drink. For example, you could mix 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon in 1/2 cup of warm milk and stir it 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. Just sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the dish. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before you serve.
As snacks, leftover cooked vegetables and fruits can be added into your favourite recipes.
To get the best flavours from fresh herbs and spices, cut them or tear them and add them to hot foods. You can also freeze spices and herbs by placing them in muffin cups or ice trays and freezing them. Once frozen, transfer them to freezer bags and zip-top plastic bag.
