Spices should be stored in airtight containers away from heat, light, and moisture. Whole spices last longer than ground spices, but both should be kept in a cool, dry place to maintain their aroma and potency.

Whole spices can last 2-4 years, while ground spices typically remain fresh for 1-3 years. However, spices don’t "expire" in the traditional sense—they just lose their flavor and potency over time.

Spice blends like Garam Masala, Taco Mix, and Italian Seasoning add depth to dishes without requiring multiple spices. They can be used as rubs for meat, seasoning for vegetables, or added to soups and stews for extra flavor.

Spices don’t typically grow mold unless exposed to moisture. If a spice smells weak or has clumps, it may have absorbed humidity and should be replaced.

Spices like cinnamon, cayenne pepper, turmeric, and black pepper may help boost metabolism, aid digestion, and promote fat burning.

Dried herbs like oregano, thyme, and rosemary should be added early in the cooking process so they have time to release their flavors. In contrast, fresh herbs should be added at the end for the best taste.

Add dairy (yogurt, cream, milk) to balance heat. Mix in a little sugar or honey to counteract spiciness. Add more of the main ingredients (like broth, tomatoes, or potatoes) to dilute the spice.
