List of Spices

In using Dried Herbs Spices is the fact that the dry form does not have the same flavor as the fresh herbs or spices. The drying process has taken away much of what we are looking for in the flavor profile. You should test but I almost double the dried version of the spices. On everything but salt and I look for other ways to compensate.
But dried hers and spices come in a couple different forms. Whole or Ground or Crumbles almost chopped form.
An example of a whole Herb might be a bay leaf. This something that will release it flavor over time. It also true that before you serve the dish you want to remove it. It has sharp edges and may cut someone mouth.
An example of a whole spice allspice. It to will release it flavor slowly and should be pulled.
Each of the who;le spices can take it to an hour to release its flavor so you can put it in early.
Now ground spices will lose it flavor quickly so you want to put it in toward the end of your cooking cycle.
Crumbled spices have differing rules. If you have a milder spices like basil you would want to put it into the dish late but if you have a more more Robust herb like Thyme it would benefit from being placed in the dishes earlier.
We have talked about usage of a dried herb spices Now lets talk about storage. Do not store your hers or spices above the dishwasher as the heat nad humidity will hurt them. Do store them away from the light and in air tight container
