How should my spices be stored?


Refrain from storing spices near air and heat, as this does damage to the authentic flavour. Spices should be stored in airtight containers and housed in a dark cabinet, pantry, or drawer.




chef note:

Keep your spice cabinet organized, and enjoy their flavour and health-boosting properties.




How long do spices last?

With proper storage, seasonings, herbs, whole, and ground spices can last for years. However, we encourage frequent purchases of smaller quantities, as spices contain volatile oils which will dissipate over time, along with flavour.


Using spices to flavour can be intimidating as many associate spice with heat, while spices can be spicy the main facts to focus on should be flavour enhancement and aid to the body. Be intentional about your spice collection. You’ll waste less and get more flavour out of your food in the process!
