No our spice products do not contain any gluten. We work from an isolated business premises where there are no other food items besides our Smell and Taste brand which are all free of gluten. There is no chance of our products having any gluten in them at all because we work only in small batches and only with our non-irradiated gluten free products.

NO our spices do not contain any anti-caking agent. Since the function of anti-caking agents are to prevent clogging which it does however if it’s not an organic anti-caking agent it’s still a chemical and that does not align with the concept of the Smell and Taste brand.

We’ve had reports of no clogging from our customers but that might be because they already buying repeats so are using the spices up quickly! Yes and thank you to that! There are a few things you can do to help the spice not clog like not using it over direct steam because it will create dampness and do keep your spices in a cool place like on the kitchen shelve, counter tops, table etc. If your spice does clog simply use a teaspoon to mix it up again and then keep the lid on properly closed. It will hold its flavor longer. In the principle of truth, we have personally tried anti caking agents during our testing phase and the result was a definite and resounding NO. Yes your spice might clog, but yes the ingredients are 100% free of any processing, gluten, fillers and anti-caking agents. Smell and Taste, putting ours and your health first❤

Store them in an airtight container like our environment friendly glass jars that they come in. Our glass jars are good if they are properly closed and stored. Heat (including steam), air and light are fresh spices ‘bad vibe’ friends. So keep them off the stove or those shelves above the stove? Not there because the heat from the stove will say goodbye to the good vibes fresh spices.

Yes spices will lose flavour and colour but this happens over time because their oils evaporate. Spices have oils? Yes that’s where their fragrance and flavours come from. Our recommendation is to use our spices within 6 months and follow the storage conditions shared above for clumping. Also if you use our spice earlier you get the very best product in terms of fragrance and flavour so it’s more like optimizing the advantages. Because our spices are made in small batches and are ground and hand blended you will not find anything that’s been sitting forever on the shelf.
