How to Store Spices
They should be kept out of direct sunlight and heat in an airtight container.
Place them in a dark cupboard to store spices for extended periods. This will preserve them 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 work best in an airtight jar or tin. You should ensure that the containers are not moistened if you store them in plastic containers.
Check the seal every time you open and reseal it. Heat can cause moisture to spoil your product.
Don't throw out any spice leftovers. You can make use of them by adding them to your favorite dishes. To prolong their shelf life you can freeze them.

- Final, weigh out salt and sugar.
