Why Make Your Own Italian Seasoning?
Making your own Italian seasonings is a great way to ensure the herbs and spices you use are as fresh and flavorful as possible. Store-bought spice mixes can be expensive and often contain additional ingredients like salt and sugar. By making your own spices, you can control the quality and quantity of the ingredients and adjust the flavor to your liking.
The importance of fresh ingredients
One of the most important things to remember when making your own spice mixes is to use high quality, fresh ingredients. Herbs and spices can lose their flavor over time, so it’s important to use ingredients that have not expired. If you have old spices in your pantry, it’s best to just swap them out. The shelf life of this spice depends on the age of the ingredients used. Ground spices typically stay fresh for 2 to 3 years, while dried herbs have a shelf life of 1 to 3 years.
Used for homemade Italian seasoning
Italian seasonings can be used in a variety of dishes including pasta sauces, marinara sauce, pizza toppings and more. It’s also a great addition to soups, stews and casseroles. You can use it to season chicken, fish or beef before grilling or baking. You can even use it to make your own salad dressings or dips.
Storage Instructions
Once you’ve prepared your Italian seasoning, it’s important to store it properly to ensure it stays fresh for as long as possible. Place the mixture in an airtight container or spice jar and store in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it in a damp or humid area as this can cause the herbs and spices to lose their flavor.
