FAQs
Q: What are the must-have spices for baking?
The essential baking spices include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice. These staples add warmth, depth, and complexity to cakes, cookies, and breads.
Q: How should I store baking spices for maximum freshness?
Store spices in airtight glass containers, kept in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat. This helps preserve their flavour and aroma for up to two years.
When it comes to keeping your spices fresh and flavourful, glass jars are the clear winner. Unlike plastic, glass is non-porous, so it won’t absorb oils, odours, or stains from your spices. This means your spices stay pure and aromatic for longer. Glass jars also provide an airtight seal to protect against moisture and air, preserving the flavour and quality. Plus, they’re eco-friendly, reusable, and beautifully transparent, so you can see exactly what’s inside.
Zest Spices’ glass jars are the perfect solution—designed to keep your spices fresh, vibrant, and ready for every recipe. Choose glass for the best taste and a sustainable choice!
Q: Can I substitute one baking spice for another?
Yes! If you’re out of a spice, try using nutmeg in place of allspice or cinnamon instead of ginger. While the flavour will differ slightly, the recipe will still shine.
Q: What’s the difference between Ceylon cinnamon and cassia cinnamon?
Ceylon cinnamon, known as true cinnamon, has a sweeter, more delicate flavour, perfect for baking and desserts. Cassia cinnamon is spicier and more common but contains higher levels of coumarin, which may pose health risks in large amounts.
