Common Spice Questions You’ve Always Wanted to Ask

Ever wondered why some hot sauces burn more than others? Or how to store your spicy treasures so they last longer? These are just a couple of the common spice questions I get asked all the time. It’s normal to be curious! Spices can be tricky, but with the right info, you’ll become a pro in no time.

For example, did you know that the heat of a pepper is measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU)? That’s the scale that tells you how spicy a pepper or sauce really is. So, if you want a mild kick, look for sauces with lower SHU. If you want to set your taste buds on fire, go for the high SHU ones!

Also, storing your hot sauce in a cool, dark place keeps it fresh longer. No need to refrigerate all the time, but once opened, it’s a good idea to pop it in the fridge to keep that flavor sharp and the heat consistent.

How to Use Spices Like a Pro: Tips and Tricks

Spices are magic! They can transform any dish from bland to grand. But how do you use them right? Here are some quick tips:

• Start small. Add a little spice, taste, then add more if needed.

• Balance flavors. Pair spicy with sweet, sour, or salty to create harmony.

• Cook with care. Some spices lose their punch if cooked too long.

• Mix and match. Don’t be afraid to combine different spices for unique flavors.

  
  

For instance, adding a dash of Pique Los Pinos hot sauce to your grilled chicken can bring out a smoky, tangy flavor that’s irresistible. Or sprinkle some chili powder on roasted veggies for a spicy twist.

Remember, spices are your friends. Play with them! Your kitchen is your playground.
