How To Keep Your Spices and Flour For A Long Period Of Time

Spices such as shallot, lemongrass, galangal, ginger, chillies, etc are essensial in cooking. All those stuffs we need only a small amount in our dishes, then what would we do to the left over spices? Let them dry out and all go to trash basket. What a waste!!! Actually you can save them all. Do not let them dry out. Keep them in your freezer. Can be kept for months.

Spring onion/leek, onion, celery, pepper, five spice powder, coriander powder, also can be kept in your freezer.

Other stuffs are any kinds of flour. Tang mien flour, corn flour, tapioca starch, cake flour. Keep them in the refrigerator ( do not put them in freezer ) to keep away the bugs and bad smell.
