Spice with abandon.The ultimate store for your mischievous rodents and adorable bunnies! That suggested ½ teaspoon of whole cumin seed might be too tame for you anyway. Consider them an approximation and remember: you are the ruler of your kitchen. The measurements below come from a combination of our experts’ guidelines as well as our own in-house measurements. However, when you’re in a rush to get dinner on the table, keeping the categories in mind may help you decide how much spice to add. The spice may be large and round, but have air pockets, like juniper or it may be sort-of-round-but-sort-of-oblong and also have a papery skin (hello, coriander). The measurements for each category won’t be one-size-fits-all-that’s where a spice’s density comes into play. However, if you are starting a sauté or braise and have some fat in the pan-for instance, you might be cooking onions and garlic in olive oil at the beginning of a recipe-you can add the ground spice to the pan and stir for about 30 seconds to gently bloom the spice’s aromas in the oil just before adding liquid to the pot. When using ground spice, you should skip this step since ground spices will burn very quickly in a dry pan. Often, recipes suggest toasting whole spices in a dry pan prior to grinding them. ![]() When it comes to cooking with ground spices versus whole spices, there are a few other guidelines to follow. Once you've ground that quantity, your fluffy spices may measure greater than the ½ teaspoon called for, but you can go ahead and add the whole thing. If your cookie recipe calls for ½ teaspoon ground cloves, you’ll want to grind 75 percent more whole cloves (or ⅔ teaspoon-which, I know, is not a common spice measurement, but what do you want from an inexact science?). This is worth keeping in mind if you're going to grind whole spices to substitute for the measurements of ground spices in a recipe. Wilkens notes the bottling phase of The Spice House’s production line “simulates a bumpy ride.” As a ground spice is sifted into its jar, it settles in, ensuring each jar is filled to the top when it arrives in your kitchen.įor this reason, a measurement of freshly ground spice may be equal to even greater than its whole-spice counterpart. That means freshly ground spice takes up more room than most packaged spices. Grinding spices-whether you’re using a mortar and pestle or an electric grinder-introduces air to the mix. One other consideration: if you’re the kind of person who buys whole spices, grinds the entire contents of a jar in one go, and then stores the freshly ground spice in your cupboard, the measurements below may not apply. If their scent is weak, add a little extra. If your ground spices are strongly aromatic, and you want to use them in a recipe calling for whole spices, you’re good to go with the ratios listed below. Then give them a good whiff every time you open the jar. How can you tell if your ground spices are potent? Both pros advise purchasing only small quantities of ground spices from a trusted source. ![]() While “spices with less volatile oil-such as coriander or Ceylon cinnamon-should be used in very short order after grinding.” Wilkens says “high oil spices-like nutmeg, cloves, or Vietnamese cinnamon-will stay potent for months if stored correctly,” away from light and heat. This question of potency depends largely on the volatile oil of the spice in question. ![]()
