Confession: I never throw my spices out. I've been told again and again that spices have a shelf life and that I should dump them after a while, but I am willing to risk it.
If you like your spices fresh and you don't use them very often, you may consider buying single-serving organic spices from TSP Spices. They come in teaspoon sized packets that stay fresh until you open them.
Single serving spices would make a great gift for someone who doesn't cook very often, but wants to get started trying a few different flavors. I'd also love to see some of these make an appearance at restaurants and coffee shops. It would be great to be able to easily add some cinnamon and nutmeg to my hot beverage instead of just pink, blue, or white sweeteners.
Would single serving spices be useful to you? Which ones would you use the most?
