The Best Ways to Store Your Indian Spices

Storing Indian Spices requires a specific formula. There are several unique flavors in the ultimate collection. If you store each Indian spice properly, the shelf life will last long. Here are great ways to preserve Indian Spices and make a suitable environment. 

Place in a Dry, Cool Spot

Your preference of location for keeping Indian Spices safe could include the fridge or kitchen cabinets. These cool areas will maintain the smell and taste of any spice. Make sure to keep your group of spices away from warm or damp places. Do not store them out on the counter because exposure to light is not good.  Keep in mind that cupboards over the stove are not a smart choice.

Use a Spice Storage Container

The spices should be held in a multi-tiered container for maximum preservation. This organizes each Indian spice and ensures that every portion is tightly sealed. Extending the potency of Indian Spices is beneficial to avoid waste of cooking products. 

Mix Your Common Spices into a Blend

Fresh spices, especially at the front of your shelves, can be made into a blend. The richness in extra flavoring needs to be well-preserved. For this method, use a medium-sized jar. Store your concoction in the pantry for maximum protection. A meal of chutney and curried chicken could be whipped up with blended spices. 

Know How Old the Indian Spices Are

It is important to notice how long certain spices have been on the shelf. Ground spices will not last as long as whole spices. However, grinding spices just before cooking maintains freshness and taste.  Some Indian spices have a one or two-year span of intense flavoring. If the scent or appearance is fading, toss the spice out. The purchase date on each label is used for reference as well.
