Some tips for storing spices
Storing spices in your kitchen.
The topic of preserving spices comes up often in conversations with customers and in the emails we receive.
The advice is even that for vanilla, saffron or even certain cigars. Yes, yes you heard correctly cigar.
Above all, it is necessary to protect the spices from light and any temperature shock in constant hydrometry.
If you want to keep them in the best way at home, we advise you to put them in an iron or wooden jar but never in glass if it is not treated against UV.
IS THERE A SHELF LIFE FOR SPICES AND HERBS?
Spices that have gone bad? NO ! Spices that have been properly stored pose no health risk and can be consumed indefinitely.
We have already seen cloves over 20 years old with their characteristic smell.
In France, spices must have a DDM, but it is the trader who will put it in the packaging. Often 5 years after packaging. In Brazil it is 2 years after the harvest.
It is good to remember that spices can change colors like turmeric and paprika, can fade when exposed to sunlight or even UV.
HOW TO KEEP SPICES FRESH FOR A LONG TIME ?
Spices should not be exposed to light (especially direct sunlight), and even UV rays. Why simply because the spices will have their color change.
Heat or humidity is the enemy of spices and especially powdered spices.
As you can see on all our articles. Powdered spices, seeds, leaves, aromatic herbs and teas and infusions, even dried fruits are all subject to the same rules as powdered spices.
Spices and herbs should be kept as far as possible away from direct sunlight and lamps that will emit UV rays in order to preserve their power.
If your jars are transparent, we advise you to buy them with an anti-UV filter, but do not place them near a window where they would be exposed to the sun's rays.
It is essential to store them in airtight containers to prevent humid air from seeping out. Because as with our body, the air will age the spices.
Do not put your pots of aromatic herbs near your cooking dishes if you want to preserve their flavor. For your information, the ideal temperature for storage is 20°C. Temperatures above this point begin to deteriorate after a while.
Don't forget one thing, spices can take on the taste of another spice.
