| Do spices spoilSubmitted by Anonymous on Thu, 2009-12-31 00:35No. Spices do not “spoil,” although they do lose flavor and color. How long do unopened dried spices lastSubmitted by Anonymous on Thu, 2009-12-31 00:35Unopened dried spices have a shelf life of up to two or three years, depending on the specific spice and whether it is a whole spice or a ground spice. A rule of thumb is that whole spices (such as peppercorns, cinnamon sticks, and cloves) have the longest life. Ground herbs and spices are generally more fragile. Why do unopened dried spices last so longSubmitted by Anonymous on Thu, 2009-12-31 00:35There are two reasons why unopened cooking spices last so long. First, they are packed and sealed immediately after processing, before there is any appreciable loss of their volatile flavors and aroma. Second, their containers are specially designed to be very protective while still sealed. How long do dried spices last once the container has been openedSubmitted by Anonymous on Thu, 2009-12-31 00:36Whole spices last twice as long as ground spices. In general, whole spices will last for two years while ground spices should be used within six to nine months for maximum flavor. What is the best way to store cooking herbs and spicesSubmitted by Anonymous on Thu, 2009-12-31 00:36Dried spices should be kept as far as possible from the range or any other source of intense heat, yet convenient to your food preparation area. Heat will speed flavor loss in dried spices, while the steam from cooking can cause ground spices, blends, and dehydrated vegetable powders to cake. |
