How To
How to store spices for cooking?
I will tell you how to store cooking spices for optimal performance. 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 because oxygen reacts with organic compounds like those in spices to cause oxidation.
To avoid oxidation, spices must be kept in dark cupboards. Spice tends to lose its flavour quickly if these conditions aren't met.
The best way to preserve the flavour of spices is to keep them in airtight jars away from direct sunlight.
You can add herbs and spices to water to make a flavoured drink. Mix 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup of warm liquid and stir. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon.
Dry herbs and spices can also be used in soups, stews or casseroles. Just sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the dish. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before you serve.
You can add leftover cooked vegetables, fruits, meats and shellfish to your favorite recipes as snacks.
You can enjoy the fresh flavours of fresh herbs or spices by chopping them up and adding them to food while they are still hot. 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.
