Frequently Asked Questions
-
Are your spices natural and clean?
Yes! All our spices are carefully chosen, carefully curated directly from our partner farms who follow traditional, natural farming methods. They are dedicated to the health of soil, the crop they grow and do not use harmful pesticides. They use natural means to ward off pest attacks. We do not add any colors, binders, stabalisers or flavours to our spices. They are completely natural and clean.
-
How to store ground spices for a longer shelf life?
We recommend storing ground spices in an air-tight glass container in a dark place away from sunglight. Plastic containers can leach particles into the spices. Hence, our spices are packed in glass jars. This helps to keep spices for a longer shelf life and maintains their freshness, flavour and aroma.
-
What is the average shelf life of ground spices?
When stored in optimum conditions that involve storage in airtight containers with minimum exposure to light, moisture, and air, ground spices can last anywhere between 1-3 years. Spices don't really spoil but lose flavour and aroma. Local Sparrow takes great care to bring to you the most potent and fresh spices and with that emphasis on quality, our spices will easily last you 2 years compared to the dusty, old spices widely available on shelves.
-
How can I preserve the quality and flavour of ground spices?
We recommend that you always use an air tight glass or stainless steel container to store the spices and use a dry spoon when using the spices. A common practice in India is to remove a smaller quantity in the masala dabba for everyday use and keep the rest separately. This allows the spices to remain potent, fresh and they don't lose out on flavour and aroma.
-
What are the most commonly used ground spices in daily routine?
The most commonly used ground spices include red chilly powder, turmeric powder, and coriander powder. Red chilli powder can add color and heat to your food which is why we offer two kinds of red chilly powders. Our Byadagi red chilli powder lends a deep, red color to your food and our Sankeshwari red chilli powder is perfect to add that spice to your food. We recommend having both in your pantry and adjust proportions according to what you are making.
