DRIED HERBS Parsley Sage Rosemary Thyme Oregano Basil Bay leaves Marjoram Cilantro Chives Savory Tarragon Dill weed Dill seed Onion powder Minced onions Garlic powder Minced garlic Note: However pituresque it might be, don't display spices on a sunny kitchen counter. Store herbs and spices in a dark area. This helps to preserve them longer. Though dried spices and herbs start to lose flavor after 6 months, they do not spoil. Rather than discard older spices, simply add a bit more to a recipe if needed.
