Have you ever purchased a bottle of spices and they just lacked that big flavor you were hoping for? A simple and compact kitchen appliance can give you awesome flavor to enhance your cooking. A coffee grinder! Buy an extra coffee grinder and use it exclusively for grinding whole spices as you need them. Once a spice has been ground, it starts to lose flavor fairly quickly. (Some already ground spices can sit on the grocery store shelves for a looooooong time.) Purchasing whole spices and grinding just what you need ensures big, clear flavors, and a longer shelf life of your spices. Storing them whole keeps them fresher and bolder, longer!
*Bonus tip: For spices like coriander and cumin, toasting them lightly in a dry skillet before grinding enhances the flavor even more!
As always, from The Allergy Safe Kitchen, I wish you "Good Cooking, and Safe Eating"!
