Easy Tips to keep spices fresh for a long time (How to Store Spices)

Use airtight container: Keep spices in glass or steel airtight jars. Plastic cans can penetrate moisture, causing spices to deteriorate quickly.

Protect from sunlight and heat: Keep the spices away from the direct sunlight and the heat of the stove. The sun blows their oils, which reduces the taste and fragrance.

Store in cold and dry place: Place spices in a place where there is no moisture and heat, such as a pantry or kitchen cabinet.

Do not grind the whole spices: Keep whole spices until the need is needed. Grailled spices lose their taste quickly.

Buy in small batch: Do not buy more spices. As much as you are used in 2–3 months, take as much as you are.

Use dried spoon: Never put wet spoon in spices box, it can cause mildew.

Label without labeled spices: Especially if you grind the spices yourself, then definitely put the label and date, so that you can use it at the right time.

Avoid storing in the fridge (for whole spices): The moisture of the fridge can damage the spices. The fridge is only suitable for some ground spices, such as garam masala.
