Garlic is a member of the lily family, a cousin to leeks, chives, and onions. There are many different varieties of garlic grown all over the world. It is probably the most ubiquitous culinary ingredients worldwide and highly valued for its sharp, savory flavor that pairs well with most savory dishes. Roasted garlic is sweeter and less sharp than raw garlic so it pairs well with delicate herbed dishes as well as seafood, poultry and cheese.
Spices and herbs should be stored away from light, heat and moisture. However, storing spices in the refrigerator or freezer may actually shorten their shelf life and they risk picking up other food odors. In general, whole spices have a longer shelf life than ground spices. Depending on the spice and how well it is stored, a good rule of thumb is six months to a year for powdered spices and longer for whole spices and seeds. The best way to determine if your spices or herbs are still fresh is to close your eyes and sniff – if you cannot immediately tell what the herb or spice is, toss it!
