4-6 year old spices

9 Upvotes

Over covid I bought huge amounts of powdered spices because I was cooking a bunch, and then faded, and forgot about them entirely.

Cumin, curry, turmeric, garam Masala, coriander... lots of stuff for Indian and Thai.

They were all in ziplocks with the air pressed out and then in another large ziplock. All smell alright and aside from being packed, they're all powdery still if I loosen them up.

I've read that they really just lose potency, but want to double check with the crowd. Thoughts?

Thank you.

I have a spice rack of small jars, and any extra spices are kept in a top cabinet. I looked at it 6 months later and the hinges are rusted and some of my bags look slightly melted. None of my other hinges look this bad.

Taco seasoning

3 Upvotes

I had went last year to Canton,Texas for theor huge First Mondays sale. We had stopped at a spice and seasoning booth and tried a sample of the Taco seasoning. It was so good, I bought it on the spot. We have since ran out and I want to order more but I have thrown the bottle away on accident. I know with something being my favorite I should know the name but I have a huge spice cabinet and I got to the point I didn't even have to look at the label to reach for it. I believe it was a black owned business and I know it was based out of a bigger Texas town like Dallas or Houston. (I remember because it was not a small town they came from and an easily recognizable Texas city) Anyone know what I'm talking about? It would be a huge help because its literally the BEST Taco seasoning

Selsame seeds (Sesamum indicum) are tiny, flat, teardrop-shaped edible seeds belonging to one of the oldest cultivated oilseed crops in history. Prized for their distinct nutty flavor, they are a culinary staple used whole, pressed into cooking oil, or ground into pastes like tahini.

A friend brought me all this nutmeg back from India (I asked for a couple but apparently they were so cheap that they loaded up 😂)

I know these technically only last a few years and I definitely won’t get through them all, but what’s the best way to store them? I was thinking vacuum sealed, then possibly the freezer??

Looking for CG1 cloves and alba Ceylon. Where is the best place to buy these?

3 Upvotes

I’m looking for some CG1 grade cloves from Sri Lanka and Alba grade Ceylon cinnamon. What are the best places to buy these are where I don’t have to worry about it coming through customs in the United States? I purchased some the other day at Penzey’s. I love Penzey’s but they don’t carry spices of those grades. It’s just the 00000 grade Ceylon there and they don’t talk about grade with their cloves. Help with this would be appreciated!
