It is known that spices are one of the simplest and most accessible ways to make even the simplest dish more refined, aromatic and delicious.
But in order for spices to reach their maximum potential, they need to be stored properly.
Cook Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking and food preparation for the online publication BelNovosti, highlights three main points.
What do they consist of?
Don't buy ground spices
If possible, it is recommended to buy spices whole and grind them immediately at the time of use. This is exactly what professional chefs do.
Capacity
You can often see spices stored in pretty transparent jars. This is a mistake. You can't store them in store-bought bags either.
The only correct solution is to buy airtight containers.
Light and temperature
Spices need only two conditions: no light and relative coolness. In this case, they will remain as aromatic as possible for a long time.
