Some Spicy Tips.....
* Replace spices at least once a year and test for freshness every 3 to 6 months.
* Crushed and ground spices are best added 10 to 20 minutes prior to serving as their flavors are released quickly
* Generally speaking 1 cup fresh = 1/3 cup dried as the dried spices have more intense flavor
* If at all possible, buy whole spices and grind your own as you need them. The flavor will be more potent. Purchase an inexpensive coffee grinder and keep it strictly for grinding spices. A good cleaning after each grind is a must.
