Frequently
Asked Questions
Spices and herbs should be kept in airtight containers in dark, cool places. Glass jars with tight-fitting lids are perfect if you plan to store your spices in a cupboard. However, if the layout of your home doesn’t allow for this use tins to ensure that sunlight can’t reach the spices.
The main reason people choose to grind their own spices is freshness. While even ground spices should keep quite well for a year or more if stored properly, they do tend to lose their flavor and aroma more quickly than whole spices. This is due to the fact that after spices are ground, more of their surface area is exposed to light and air, which allows their oils to evaporate. Keeping spices whole until you’re ready to use them will minimize this effect.
