Determining if Spices are Still Good

If you find yourself debating on whether to use a spice that doesn't have an expiration date, try these methods to see if they are still good:

  • Look to see if the color is still vibrant. If the spice appears faded, there is a good chance the flavor has faded too.
  • Put a little of the spice in your hand and crush or rub it. If the aroma is no longer strong and the flavor is weak, it is time to buy a new one.

Here are a few tips to help keep your spices fresh and usable:

  • Always store herbs and spices in a tightly sealed container.
  • Keep them away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
  • Remember to reseal the container immediately after use.
  • Use a dry measuring spoon and don't sprinkle spices over a steaming pot. This will help prevent caking, which is caused by moisture.
