A close relative of black pepper, long pepper has a hotter, earthier flavor. Today they are usually called for in Asian cuisine, but were common in Europe until the 17th century when black peppercorns became more readily available. Rediscover this ‘lost’ spice!
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!
