iLove It: Spice Storage Inspiration

{source}

Since I’m tackling my spices these days, I decided to post some really nice ideas that have inspired me to organize my spices.

First of all, we hate this (the image below). And let’s admit, we have all been through (or maybe still going through) this phase. So I'm just going to swim right into the awesome ideas for how to organize spices.

Masala Dabba (Indian Spice Box)
Use this to keep frequently used items in one box. I use it for salt, red chili powder, turmeric, cumin seed, mango powder, black cardamom and carom seeds. These are the seven things that I use really frequently and this masala dabba saves my time while cooking.

Re-use Old Jam Jars
I love to store my spice in clear glass jars for two reasons. One it looks pretty, two the jar stays shiny compared to plastic containers. The plastic containers get frosted by time.

Labels
This is my favorite part of this whole organizing process. Mainly because labeling anything plays a huge role in keeping the space organized. And let me tell you, labeling your spices is a huge time saving trick while cooking. Also, it helps my husband on nights when he decides to cook dinner.

There are so many ways to label your spices. You can either download free printable spice labels to save money (who doesn't like free printable?...) or you can buy custom printable labels on etsy. I have recently created free printable spice label which you can find here.

Check out these nice printable spice labels I found online.
