Tracking your spices for maximum flavor |
|
Filed under: Spices  A couple of years ago, I created a spreadsheet with which to track the contents of my spice rack. It had all the spices listed, along with the date on which I had purchased each one, to make it easy to know what I had and whether it was getting a little elderly. I realize that this requires a little more energy than most people want to put into their spice rack.
For those of you who want an easier solution, think about checking out Spice Island's spice registry service. You can check the age of any of your Spice Island herbs and spices by punching in the product code on the bottle. Sadly, it only works for that brand, but if you happen to have a lot of their spices, it could be very helpful.
Another way to track your spices is to mark the bottom of the jar with the purchase date with a permanent market. It's not searchable like my spreadsheet, but still gives you some idea of when you brought those spices into your kitchen.
