Spices are best stored in a cool, dark and dry place away from heat light. Exposure to heat or moisture may affect the shelf life.

Our spices and seasoning powders have a shelf life of one year.

Our seasoning powders are made from natural ingredients – herbs, spices and a little sea salt and are low in sodium, compared to seasoning cubes. They are free from additives and preservatives – all ingredients are on the pack. Please ensure to read your food labels.

When cooking with our seasoning powders, please taste and adjust for salt where necessary. Please keep in mind that one teaspoon of salt is 2300mg, the goal is to ensure our sodium intake is in check. Use aromatics such as fresh garlic, ginger and onion paste to infuse fresh flavours.

Yes you can. It is a mix of sweet and spicy flavours and can be sprinkled directly on already cooked food.

Yes, all our seasoning powders contain very little sea salt, except for soupa vegan, pepersoup spice and curry powder. The sodium content per serving of our seasoning powders ranges between 34mg to 115mg compared with the regular cubes in the market which contains over 10x sodium than this.

Soupa delish contains fish powder while soupa vegan does not contain fish powder. All other ingredients are the same. Soupa vegan is plant based and we made that as an option for the plant based community, and people who have seafood allergies.

Table salt is mined from underground salt deposits, it is processed to remove impurities, so most minerals are lost during processing. It also contains an additive to prevent clumping and is usually fortified with iodine. Sea salt on the other hand is gotten from evaporated sea water. It is minimally processed so it contains no additives, and also includes trace minerals and nutrients. They both contain a similar quantity of sodium per gram. Whichever salt you choose to use, the key is to limit your sodium intake. The Daily recommended intake of sodium is 2300mg = 1 teaspoon.

The major difference between sea salt and table salt is that table salt has additives to prevent clumping while sea salt does not as it is still in its natural state. They both have similar sodium content – 2300mg in 1 teaspoon.

For a hypertensive person, the quantity of salt used is what matters the most. It is advisable to minimise or go off salt completely as sodium worsens the condition. Also do well to check with your Doctor.

Best Before date refers to the date recommended that you use the product for best physical and/or sensory quality (smell, flavour and texture). If the product has passed the best by date and it still maintains a good smell, flavour and texture, you may decide to continue consumption. The food will be safe to eat after this date but may not be at its best flavour and texture

If your spices were properly stored and still taste and smell good, you can continue to use. Please test a small batch first before proceeding.

Your spice and seasoning powders may clump (cake) if exposed to moisture and humidity. This is because they do not contain anti-caking agents, so in a way, it is a good sign.

If this happens, just break up with your fingers before use, or toss it in a dry pan for a few minutes. If in a pouch, lay on a flat surface and pound with a wooden spoon on the bag until the clump breaks up

This does not mean that the spice powders are bad, as long as they still smell and taste good.

Endeavour to store properly in an airtight containers, away from heat and light to minimise occurrence of this.

Also scoop your spices with a dry spoon, and avoid sprinkling directly into your cooking pot directly from the spice container to prevent accumulation of steam.

Most of our spices come in 100 grams jars, but some spices might appear fuller than others even when they are of the same weight, because different spices have different densities.

This means that some spices are heavier and some are lighter and as a result, the lighter ones have more fuller content while those that are heavier might appear lesser in volume, but in weight, are all the same.
