FAQ's
What is the best way to store my spices?
In a cool, dry, dark location in an airtight glass jar. A kitchen
cabinet away from the stove is best. Keep away from heat.
Avoid shaking spices over a steaming pot - moisture and heat
can get into the jar and may encourage the growth of bacteria
and mold.
How long will my spices last?
If stored properly, most whole spices can last up to 3 years
and ground spices are best used within 12 months.
What is the best way to use your spice blends?
Our spice blends are very versatile. You can use them in marinades,
add during cooking or sprinkle on finished dishes.
How much spice blend should I use?
Everyone’s taste preferences are different so the amount of
spice can vary. General rule: use about 1-2 tsp. per lb.
of meat or fish during cooking and in marinades and a pinch
when added to finished dishes.
Is it true that spices and herbs contain anti-oxidants?
Yes. Spices & herbs, which come from plants, are naturally
high in anti-oxidants. The top 10 with the highest content
are: Cloves, Oregano, Ginger, Cinnamon, Turmeric, Basil, Mustard
Seed, Parsley, Curry Powder, Paprika
Do your spices contain any of the major food allergens?
The Code of Federal Regulations listing of major known allergens
includes peanuts, soybeans, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish,
tree nuts and wheat. All of our products containing any of
the major known allergens are listed with it common or usual
name. While there is an attempt to reduce and eliminate any
cross-contact of products with known major food allergens,
our products have been in contact with machinery that packages
tree nuts, soy products and dairy products.
Why are your spices different than the spices
I find in the supermarket?
One of the important considerations in purchasing spices is
the quality and age of the spice when you purchase them. Some
of the spices at the supermarket have already been on the shelf
for some time as well as sitting in a warehouse before that.
We purchase high quality, fresh spices and have a quick turn
over so their potency, flavors and aroma are still fresh giving
you great results in your recipes
How can I order your spices?
Place your order online here OR you can either call us at 805-610-4130
or send us an e-mail.
Can you imagine a world without
spices and herbs?
What
if there were no such thing as vanilla ice cream, cinnamon
buns, or gingerbread cookies? Imagine life without chili
sauce, taco seasoning or garlic bread. Most of us eat spices
everyday and they play an important role in our food. These
miracles of nature bring together flavors that create amazing
and diverse results. I hope that by using spices successfully
in your everyday cooking, it will inspire you, stimulate
your enthusiasm and bring mouthwatering dishes to your table.
Spice
Of Life began through a love of family, food, health
and love of cooking. It was very important to me to provide
my family with healthy and delicious meals and at the
same time keeping myself inspired and motivated in the
kitchen. Using fresh herbs, as well as quality dried
spices and herbs brought all those things to me.
Over the years, I began searching for high quality dried spices and herbs and
not settling for spices that have been sitting in a warehouse and then on supermarket
shelves for long periods of time. I was amazed at the difference this made. The
wonderful tastes and aromas that came out of my kitchen and the interest and
motivation it created for me was amazing. I started blending spices and creating
traditional and one of a kind spice blends that put smiles on my family’s faces.
Spice Of Life was created so that I can share my spice blends and individual
spices and herbs. I want to help others get inspired, motivated and most important,
have fun in the kitchen. Of course, creating amazing meals that your family and
friends will enjoy is just as important.
I hope that you will try my spices and blends for yourself. Try them in your
recipes that you use now and notice the difference. You can use them in sauces,
casseroles, gravies, marinades, dressings or sprinkle on meats, fish, pasta,
salads, even sandwiches and popcorn. The possibilities are endless.
I hope that by using Spice Of Life spices and blends you will find a renewed
inspiration and create mouthwatering meals for your friends and family to enjoy.
