What to look for when buying spices online

Not all spices are created equal. Before you make your purchase, check:

  • Origin: Spices with a known geographical origin have a more intense aroma and flavor.
  • Form: Whole or ground? Whole spices retain their aromas longer.
  • Packaging: Airtight packaging = longer shelf life and freshness.
  • Date of harvest/processing: The fresher, the better the quality.
