What is the significance of spices?
A spice is a seasoning that is used to enhance the flavor of food. Spices can take many forms such as powders (liquids), oils, pastes and seeds. They can also be called condiments or flavours.
It's a great way of adding variety to your meals by spiceing them up. To add more flavour and excitement to dishes, many spices can be used.
You may find that adding a few drops of hot pepper sauce to a bowl of soup will make it taste more delicious. You could also add a few cayenne peppers to a cup of rice.
You can experiment with spice recipes best if you use fresh ingredients. If you buy dried herbs, look for those that are organic. Fresh herbs can last for longer than dried.
Although some spices are essential to cooking, there are others that you might prefer not to use. Cinnamon sticks contain high amounts of coumarin, so they should not be eaten if you have a history of liver disease. Ginger also has coumarin, although it's less concentrated. It is safe for those who have not had liver problems in the past.

How To
How to store cooking spice?
This article will show you how to store cooking spice for optimal performance. First of all, we need to establish an understanding of the science behind the storage of foodstuffs.
Because spices lose their flavour when exposed to the sun, they are best kept out of reach from light. This is because oxygen reacts with organic compounds like those in spices to cause oxidation.
To prevent oxidation, spices should be stored in dark cupboards. These conditions can cause spices to quickly lose their flavor.
It is the best way to preserve spices' flavours by keeping them out of direct sunlight.
To create a flavorful drink, you can add spices and herbs to water. Mix 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup of warm liquid and stir. Add a squeezed lemon juice and serve immediately.
Dry herbs and spices can also be used in soups, stews or casseroles. 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.
For the best flavor of fresh herbs, you can chop them up or tear them apart and then add them to your favorite foods. You can freeze herbs or spices by placing them on ice cube tray or muffin cups. Once frozen, place them in freezer bags or zip-top bags.
