Sniff those spices
Spice tips
Shop : Check the package date; if there’s no date done mark one on the package. “ Buy from reputed stores that’ve a fast turnaround,”
Store : Not by the stove. Keep in small containers with tight screw tops in a cool, dry cupboard.
Sniff : Smell spices. Crush dried herbs. Then sniff. If a spice solos in a dish, it’s crucial that its flavor and aroma are strong.
Toss : Depending on storage conditions, whole spices last two years. Ground spices last six months to a year. But if you don’t want to toss out old cinnamon sticks, place with old whole cloves in a pot of water; simmer about 15minutes to sent your home.
