Storing spices and herbs

[michalb]

Hi, I am a student at Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration and in my final seminar we're currently working on an innovative project concerning spices and herbs. In the course of our project we identified that saving space and having things organized are important issues when it comes to spices and herbs.

I would like to ask you if you also experience a great need for saving space when it comes to spices and herbs? How do you deal with this need? What are your space-saving solutions? How do you store your spices and herbs so you can quickly identify them? Have you come up with any innovative ideas of your own?

Thank you for your insights!

I usually store my spices in a plastic box, with a lid on. On these boxes I write the name of the spices, so I can quickly find them back. I also put on the date when the spices where bought, to keep health control happy.

Dido,
I chop and freeze fresh herbs in plastic boxes, with their names written on them.
For the powders I use dispensers, which are labeled.
