Keep all dried spices in a dark space that stays room temperature. If they get exposed to any light, humidity or heat, their flavor will begin to weaken. Usually, a freshly ground spice or herb will keep its flavor for around a year. Whole spices, on the other hand, can retain their freshness for 36-60 months. Keep spices fresh for the longest time possible by storing them correctly.
Make sure that all of your spices are stored away from heat and light. Shelf life can be significantly decreased for those spices which have been exposed to too much light, dampness and heat. Keeping your spices in a cooler space with little light will enhance their flavor and shelf life. Keeping your spices fresh can improve the taste of every recipe you prepare.
