Information profile @ a Glance
- Shelf life is determined by safety, acceptability, and nutritional
content
- Heat, light, and moisture are the enemies of dried spices. Heat
causes flavor loss, light fades colors, and moisture causes ground
spices to cake
- Members of the red pepper family, including paprika and chili
powder, will retain their color & remain fresher when stored in the
refrigerator
- SHELF LIFE: If you follow simple storage and usage guidelines, your
spices and herbs should retain
their freshness for the following lengths of time:
· Ground spices – 2-3 years
· Whole spices – 3-4 years
· Herbs – 1-3 years
· Seasoning blends – 1-2 years
· Extracts – 4 years
- Spice Grinding generates heat & causes temperature rise in the
grinder to the extent of 95 degree C which is responsible for a loss of
volatile oil in the tune of about 30% and also produces dark colour
powder.
