About spices

Spices include whole and ground seeds, barks, roots and fruits — cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric, peppercorns and many more — along with dried herbs, chilies and specialty salts. Blends combine them into ready-to-use seasonings such as curry powders, garam masala, za'atar, barbecue rubs and taco seasoning.

Independent spice merchants often sell in smaller quantities with recent grind or pack dates, which matters because ground spices lose aroma over time. Whole spices keep longer and can be toasted and ground as needed.

Blends can include salt, sugar, wheat, mustard, sesame or celery, so ingredient lists and allergen information are important.

Choosing spices

  • Buy whole spices for longer freshness, or small quantities of ground spices you'll use soon.
  • Check pack dates and use-by dates where listed.
  • Read blend ingredients for salt, sugar and allergens such as mustard, sesame or celery.
  • Check chili heat descriptions before buying hot blends.
  • Store spices airtight, away from light, heat and moisture.

Questions about spices

How long do spices stay fresh?

Whole spices keep their flavor longer than ground ones. Check the pack date and store them airtight away from heat and light.

Do spice blends contain salt or allergens?

Many blends include salt and some include allergens. Read the full ingredient list and ask the seller if anything is unclear.

Should I buy whole or ground spices?

Whole spices give fresher flavor when ground just before cooking. Ground spices are more convenient for everyday use.
