Proper storage of spices is essential to maintain their flavor, aroma, and potency. Here’s how you can store your spices, including ginger, chili, oregano, and black pepper, to keep them fresh longer:
Store in a Cool, Dark Place: Spices should be kept away from light, heat, and moisture. A pantry or cabinet works best.
Use Airtight Containers: Store your spices in glass jars or containers with tight lids to keep them fresh.
Don’t Store Near the Stove: The heat from the stove can degrade the quality of your spices, especially ground ones like chili powder and ginger powder.
