Get the most from your spices
Spices are the ultimate shortcut to flavour. They pack a punch even in small doses, and using them is both an art and science. Altering the levels of a collective of spices can completely transform a recipe. So, how can you get the very best out of them?
As a rule, it’s a good idea to source the highest quality spices you can get and afford. Organic ensures they are pesticide-, chemical- and additive-free, and often come with the impact on farm workers and the local community considered. With single origin, there are strong direct relationships with farms and producers, with specific characteristics from the region included as standard.
