Quick Tips: Dried Herbs and Spices

Yeah, It diminishes the already non existent flavor in dried herbs and spices.

Lol, I thought you said “When feeding our penguins” at 0:09.
So dissabpointed when I went back D:

On topic- Good tip ;D

I also think that you should try and find a grocery store that sells dried herbs and spices in bulk so you can just buy a little bit and rotate them more often.

Herbs and spices last much longer than the experation date if as you said you keep the in a cool dark place.

Omg you have so pretty eyes hahaha

I dont like “Spice Racks”… They look soooo tacky and should never be out on open display!!!
ALL my herbs are tucked safely away – out of sight!! – and sniffing is one option I tend to use to check the freshness of it!!
You light up my day!! – Thank You!!

dammit! i just bought a spice rack. i was always fumbling around the lazy susan in the cabinet for my spices. i’ll just try to use them before they go stale.

great video my friend good advice!

Nice one, David. I keep mine in a drawer and always sniff before using. The ones I use most, I buy in larger containers, but the ones I seldom use I like to buy small amounts in the bulk section of the grocery.

hey
i was hoping this would be a video on how to use your dried herbs and spices and what they compliment etc.
is that a possible followup?

Thanks for sharing this tip. I was actually shopping around for a spice rack. Glad I didn’t waste my money!

Great tip and thanks for sharing.

I always keep my herbs in my cupboard:)
However, when I’m using the dried stuff ( I prefer fresh!), I always crush them in the palm of my hand before I put it in my caserole. I find that this helps the flavour to come out more:)

If you must have a spice rack, buy the ones w/the doors on the front..that way they stay in a cool dark place..just dont hang one over the stove area, lol.

to keep fresh herbs for longer there’s 2 things you can do. The quickest and easiest thing to do is wrap them in a paper towel and put them in an air-tight ziploc bag and put them in the fridge. I’ve kept parsley and cilantro fresh for almost 2 weeks using this method. The other way is to keep a small container of water in the fridge. bundle your herbs together and drop the stems into the water, then drape a pplastic bag over the top. It’s bulky but can extend their shelf-life for up to 4 weeks.

But, of course, the absolute best way to keep fresh herbs is to just grow them yourself. Most grow easily in small pots and require almost no maintenance. I grow basil, thyme, flat-leaf parsley, oregano, and lavender in small clay pots by my kitchen window.
