Step 2Spice basics!
Spices are almost always used in their dried form. They can be found whole (peppercorn, nutmeg, strips of cinnamon bark, various seeds, roots) or ground.
Spices are much more varied in flavor than herbs and tend to pack a bigger punch.
When storing both spices and dried herbs, it is best to keep them away from air, heat, and sunlight. They'll last longer that way. I try to keep most everything in a covered cupboard. The ones I use most often and go through more quickly, though, they sit on the windowsill within easy reach.
We all cheat at something, and this is it for me!

My second oldest brother got very sick and out of his mind after consuming a mixture of half and half nutmeg and milk. After surviving that, he wouldn't even take a sprinkling of a few specks on his eggnog.
