If you enjoy the taste of natural and fresh herbs, here are four questions you must ask before purchasing them:
For all-natural seasonings, the shelf life is usually six months. You can usually keep whole spices for a year longer. Dry rubs don’t spoil. However, beyond the shelf life, their flavors are less potent. You can safely store natural rubs such as cumin, coriander, peppercorns, allspice, cardamom, but for your favorite spices, it’s better to try and find fresh sources or get a monthly subscription.
Spices that have sugar or salt will agglomerate in humid climates. Clumped rubs lose their texture and flavor. You must look for seasonings packed in air-tight containers, as it protects the content from changes in the climate.
Many spice manufacturers also use Silicon Dioxide as an anti-caking agent. However, it diminishes your seasoning’s all-natural quality. You must ask what your provider uses to prevent all-natural seasoning from clumping. Rice concentrate is an effective natural solution, as it grabs moisture and helps prevent caking.
Most companies provide storing instructions on labels of rub containers. You must store your spices in a cool and dry place as moisture can easily ruin a seasoning. You must also keep them in a closed cabinet or dark containers, away from direct sunlight. Always use air-tight containers, zippered plastic bags, or containers with well-fitting lids to store dry rubs.
Rubs go stale and lose their color when stored for a long time. You must always purchase your favorite seasonings in smaller amounts to enjoy their authentic color and flavor. Prepare a list of frequently-used spices and purchase them as per your needs. At Dollar Rub Club, we understand the importance of fresh seasonings and offer a customized monthly subscription. It allows all customers to get their packets of fresh rubs delivered to the doorstep every month.

However, more often than not, spices go stale, resulting in bland and dispirited dishes. Here are five tips for store your seasonings and marinades for extended periods:
Storing your herbs and spices in beautiful earthen and china pots is a fine aesthetic choice, but they don’t help you preserve the spices’ flavor or aroma. To store your dry herbs and spices, always use an opaque and air-tight container with a tightly-fitting lid.
Simply putting the spices in an air-tight container isn’t enough. To keep them fresh, you need to place those containers in a cold and dark place like a pantry Sunlight, heat, and steam can shorten the life of your seasonings very quickly.
There are no universal standards to measure the shelf life of seasonings. However, as per Clemson Cooperative Extension, you can store ground spices and herbs for up to three years and whole spices for up to five years. Note the purchase time of your dry herbs and spices on the boxes. It will help you replace them as soon as they move past their expiry dates.
Just a pinch of spice can pack a lot of flavors, as excessive use of seasoning can spoil the whole dish. Therefore, you don’t need to overstock your herbs and spices. Buy them in limited quantities so you can consume them within one or two years.
Despite all the precautions, low-quality herbs and spices may lose their flavor quickly. You don’t want to find it out in the middle of cooking your Thanksgiving dinner. Therefore, you should check your spices a few times a year to make sure they haven’t gone stale. You can test their intensity by grinding them into a powder. If they have the same aroma and flavor, you have nothing to worry about.
Pro tip: Never use a wet spoon to take dry spices from a container. The spoon’s humidity can ruin them. Some herbs and spices can suffer a mold build-up when brought in contact with a wet spoon.
Here we give you a low-down on the five rubs that will add an authentic flavor to your meat dishes:
Basil is a bright and potent flavor that’s sweet and slightly minty. It pairs well with the deep natural flavors of meat dishes. Adding it towards the end of the cooking will brighten the dish and add a new dimension of flavor.
Always use fresh basil leaves or freeze them in ice cube trays. Basil usually becomes black and tasteless over time as it does not dry well. You can use a freezer bag to store them for longer durations.
Rosemary is a classic herb with a piney flavor. It pairs wonderfully with heavy or greasy-flavored meat. You can use rosemary for dishes that are cooked for long periods. Home-grown rosemary tastes much better than commercially available herbs.
Sage beautifully complements turkey or chicken, but it’s also a delicious addition to other holiday recipes. It adds a fragrant aroma and warm taste to the stronger flavors of a beef dish. Like rosemary, sage can also be grown indoors but requires adequate lighting to thrive. Both fresh and dried sage spices work well in chicken or meat recipes.
Thyme is a versatile rub that is best-known for its traditional association with beef dishes. You can use it to prepare garlic and onion pastes or in combination with sage. It adds richness and depth to the dish. People grow several varieties of thyme indoors on the window sill, with lemon thyme being the most common. You can use it in the broth for slow-cooked meat or add it towards the end.
People generally use parsley only as a garnish, but it’s a tasty herb that can hold its flavor when added at the end of cooking. It brightens up the dish and adds a fresh flavor to the meat dishes. Some varieties can grow in the water, while others require healthy soil and proper sunlight.
