Use of Spices Explained for Foodies by Chris Donald (Guest Post)

To make the food good and very palatable, you will need to use the spices as well as various condiments. These spices will make the food more appealing, and for sure, there is no way that you can eat food that is bland and non-spicy.

The herbs and spices that need to be added to the food to make it tasty will be based on two things, and these are the freshness of spices as well as the proper quantity.



A proper mix or proportion is very important for the addition of spices. Most of the spices come in the powdered form or in the leaf form.


The compatibility of spice with certain types of food is a must-know. You should know which spice to use with which food. This operates on the same principle as the wine does, which is that you should know what wine to serve with what kind of food.

There is no sure-shot method of the quantity that can be used in the food. Your help for the quantity is the online food sites, as well as recipe books available all over. Make sure that you do not add more spices because more is generally not acceptable, but less is acceptable.

If you are reading the recipe books, they generally tend to border on the more commercial side of things, which means the quantities and styles are more over the top. You may need to use your own estimate for the home-cooked food.

To keep the freshness intact of the spices, make sure that you buy the good brands which have good packaging as well as make sure that once you have opened them that you seal them properly to retain the flavor and the aroma.
