Fresh spices

[Branderson]

sorry, I was posting on my phone and since tapatalk was taken away, it's not as easy for me to post via phone.

BTW, I googled search and seems like the winner is putting raw beans in the spice shakers b/c they absorb the humidity like rice but won't fall thru the holes of the shaker.


Yes, I posted it in here b/c we went camping and all my spices are caked up so I figured if anyone would know, it would be yall.

Can you talk to your phone to post instead of texting? Most of the current ones can.

Sounds like you need shakers with smaller holes, LOL

If you use mexican jumping beans, they'll keep it from caking, and will keep it mixed up.

This is a perfectly good topic for a bus forum, IMHO. Living in southeast Florida, I know this is a problem when one keeps spices stored in the bus galley. An expensive solution is to keep the A/C running 24-7 to combat the humidity. Rice is less expensive; I like the teabag idea because on spices other than salt and pepper (oregano, basil, etc.) the shaker holes are bigger. Not so sure about those dessicant bags as some might not be safe for contact with foods.

Do them little buggers ever hatch?
