In this way you can prolong the term of product usefulness and it can not lose aroma, color and taste properties.
We offer some rules of keeping and using them:
1) Grist spices can be kept better than ground.
2) Keep spices from heat, dampness and the sun.
3) Keep spices from the stove and being near the window.
4) If you keep spices in closed space (in the leak-proof dishes) the term of their usefulness can be increased in 4 years while gound may be kept only for 2-3 years.
5) Spices can not be spoiled; they can only lose their effect and they do not have aroma and taste any more.
6) To check the spices there are 3 ways:color, smell and taste. If the product lost them it could be outdated.
7) Do not set the spices from the packet as the steam rising from the pot can spoil their aroma
and taste; the rest of spices may be useless for further use.
8) Make sure if the spoon being used for spices is dry. Otherwise spoon wetness can spoil the
spice aroma.
9) If you keep red pepper in the fridge (in leak-proof dishes), it can preserve its color and aroma.
10) After using the spice keep the rest of it in close.
