Spices and herbs do not forgive housewives for such a mistake as storing them in unsealed jars or other containers.

Smells can easily get mixed up or evaporate. In the latter case, you can still fix the situation, and quite simply.

We'll tell you about one trick that will make stale spices smell like freshly ground ones again.

This does not require any additional products or other types of expenses.

So, if it turns out that your favorite spices and seasonings don’t smell the same as before, it’s too early to throw them away – the aroma can be restored.

To do this, you only need to place the aromatic mixture in the microwave and heat it for 30 seconds.

During this time, the scent will become more intense again.

But there is one nuance. The microwave must be clean and there should be no other pungent smell in it that the spices can absorb.

For the same reason, you need to be careful if you need to restore the smell of several spices.

This needs to be done in turns and while ventilating the microwave, otherwise the aromas will mix.
