  • How Long Can You Store Herbs & Spices In The Cupboard?

    Herbs & spices are some of the longest lasting ingredients that you can keep in your kitchen and often last for a number of years without impacting on the flavour and quality. So long as you store them properly, essential herbs & spices can stay fresh for a number of years. Be sure to store your herbs & spices in a cool, dry place, such as a cupboard, away from direct heat and sunlight. This is to avoid altering the taste and texture of the herbs & spices when they are used in cooking. 


    Dried herbs & spices can keep for between 1-3 years when stored correctly, however salts will keep for a much longer period of time. To ensure your herbs & spices last for a long period of time, there are some things you can do to improve their longevity. Avoid sprinkling jarred herbs & spices over a hot pan or steaming tray, as this can allow moisture to get in and cause them to clump together. Instead, sprinkle onto a spoon away from the pot - not only is this more precise but allows for proper care of your herbs & spices. Check your herbs & spices frequently so that you’re not stockpiling too many of the same herbs & spices and so that you can throw out any that might be past their best.
