I’m so jealous of the organization, looks great! Mine are just in a box/tray I pull out and fumble through. I dream of having the motivation to organize it like this!
How do you deal with expiration? I know spices don’t really “go bad,” but the ones I use less often definitely lose some flavor after a while (faster if they’re ground, which is most of mine). Do you refresh them even if you have some left in the jar?
Also, I’ve never used freeze dried chives! Do you rehydrate them, or just use as a topping?
They are all alphabetized so I can find them faster. I usually use most of the spices before expiration so I don’t have to worry too much, but the ones I buy in bulk I try to do a monthly expiry check for all things on the pantry rack or what’s in the drawer. I do refresh even if I have some left in the jar. The freeze dried chives I use for homemade ranch dressing as they are, I haven’t really used them in anything else yet.
Freeze dried chives also really make ramen pop, I use a bunch in my homemade ramen “flavor powder”.
Ooo, I’ll have to try that next time I make chicken ramen. Thanks for the idea.
