Organizing and Storing Dried Herbs & Spices To keep dried herbs and spices fresh and organized, write the name of each item and the date purchased on each jar. Store in airtight containers in a cool dry place. Do not store dried herbs and spices over the stove, near a dishwasher or microwave, or in direct sunlight. Herbs and spices tend to lose flavor over time, so purchase in small quantities. For maximum freshness, use dried herbs and ground spices within 6 to 8 months of opening. http://www.kraftfoods.com/main.aspx?s=cookingschool & m=cookingschool/tipdisplay & tipid=4366 & categoryid=6

It is known to God and myself alone.
