USE BY DATE ..FOR DRIED HERBS AND SPICES .

Dried......herbs and spices , kept in sealed containers away from direct light will keep for 12  - 18 months .
Some will argue dried herbs and spices should be used in 6 months from purchase for the best flavour ......but that is dribble as long as they have been stored correctly.
Fresh herbs should be wrapped in a damp  clean cloth  or damp paper towelling and stored in the vegetable drawer of the fridge.
Preserving fresh or  dried herbs and spices in oils or vinegars is another great way to enjoy the flavours ,  adding an interesting twist to sauces and salad dressings.
