Seasoning FAQs

What kinds of Seasoning does Sipsy sell?

We sell Herbs and Spices and some in between.

Spices refer to products used to flavor foods that come from the root, stem, seed, fruit or flower of a plant.

Herbs are also products used to flavor foods, but come from the leafy green part of a plant.

Owww! you like how I just taught you something, dontcha?

 

Why should I buy Sipsy Herbs and Spices?

Uhh, because they're DOPE!

Well,  you really don't have to. I'm certain the store brands are working just fine sitting on those shelves 8 months - waiting for you to buy that ground pepper that's lost most of its potency. YUP. SHADDDEE!

Herbs and Spices are typically higher in antioxidants as well as anti- inflammatory properties- get you some!

Although, i'm no doctor- you could with time, replace some medications for herbs/ spices.

 

Why the small packaging?

Herbs and Spices generally lose their true potency over time- as everything in LIFE. When purchasing spices and herbs you should ask yourself or the cook in the home "how long do you think this will last us" If they say more than a month- DOWNSIZE beloved. You shouldn't be aiming to have a cabinet buddy- instead you should be aiming for a seasoning you will use and reap the benefits of its intended shelf life. 

ave you ever tasted freshly ground MALABAR BLACK PEPPER? Exactly!! I'm here to help.

Bring it in and get this LOVE!

 

How long do I Keep my Spices?

 Spices and Herbs in their true form- UNPROCESSED and Stored correctly can last 3-4years.

Ground, minced or separated Spices and Herbs can last for 1-2 years- BUTTT!!

My humble suggestions is that after 6 months, considering buying another and replacing what you have.

Most people store their spices near the stove- this will kill your shelf time drastically.

Where do you all source your Herbs and Spices?

Everywhere! If a region/ specific place is known to have the best, that is where we source- BUT, we blend All of our Curries. Adobos etc by hand. They're Sipsy's own RECIPE/ MASHUP.

See, They're not like us. PERIODT!

 

What should I do if I have an allergy?

Pay close attention to warnings and countries of origin! You know you, better than we do. When in doubt go without and do not place your order before talking to us! Send us an email @ Info@SipsyByRi.com  and we can try to work around your allergies. We're as accommodating as possible.
