Without high-quality and aromatic spices, it is impossible to prepare many dishes, since spices add an important note to food.

Over time, the smell of spices becomes less pronounced, especially if we store them for a long period of time.

However, with the help of a couple of proven tricks of professional chefs, seasonings can always be made brighter, more aromatic and rich.

How to achieve the desired result?

Dry frying pan

Many people know this trick, as it has been tested for years. Before using spices in cooking, you need to put them in a frying pan.

The dishes must be free of oil and any other fat.

Heat treatment takes 1 to 2 minutes. After that, spices can be safely added to food.

Mortar

If you have this wonderful accessory, then it is definitely worth using. Spices crushed with a mortar will be very aromatic and tasty.

This is a higher quality method than a mill or coffee grinder.

Olive oil

Many people know that Italian cuisine widely uses a special spicy oil. Its composition is quite simple: it contains unrefined vegetable oil combined with herbs and spices.

However, with this approach, ready-made dishes and salads simply begin to sparkle with new colors.
