When’s the last time you checked the expiration date on your paprika? When we think of “spring cleaning,” our spice racks aren’t usually the first area of the house to come to mind. But those shelves of flavor should not be neglected! Here are some important things to keep in mind when preparing your spice rack for a season of freshness: 

Sniff Check!
First things first, let’s play detective with those spice jars. When was the last time you gave them a good sniff? If they’ve lost their aromatic charm, it might be time to bid them farewell. Say hello to a fresh start and toss out any lurking, forgotten spices from the Jurassic era.

Organize the Spice Squad
Now, for the fun part – spice organization! Ever had to play hide-and-seek with a tiny cumin jar? Yeah, not fun. Invest in some cool spice racks or cute labeled containers. This not only jazzes up your cabinet but also makes finding that elusive smoked paprika a breeze.

Spring Spice Swaps
With the changing season, why not give your spice lineup a fresh makeover? Toss in some zesty blends that scream spring – think citrusy lemon pepper, herby dill seasoning, or a hot chili lime. Spice up your life, literally!

Upcycling Spice Containers
Hold on, before you chuck those empty spice containers, let’s get crafty! They make the cutest mini herb planters or storage for those odds and ends in your junk drawer. Reduce, reuse, spice up – it’s the eco-friendly way to roll. Happy Spring Cleaning! 🌱✨
