How to use ground herbs and spices
Ground herbs and spices are incredibly versatile and can be added directly to almost any recipe. Use paprika and cumin in roasted vegetables, cinnamon in desserts, turmeric in curries or garlic powder in marinades and sauces.
Because ground spices release their flavour more quickly than whole spices, they are often best added during cooking or mixed directly into ingredients for maximum impact.
How to store ground herbs and spices
To keep ground herbs and spices at their best, store them in a cool, dry place away from heat, light and moisture. Always reseal the packaging or container tightly after use.
While they have a long shelf life, ground herbs and spices gradually lose their aroma over time. For the best flavour, consider replacing them within six to twelve months, depending on the product and storage conditions.
