Generally speaking, you want to activate your dried spices in some fats to warm them up and bloom

them and to bring out the oil and the flavor because they've been sitting dry and dusty in your

cabin for a while. But also, if you have fresh dried spices, some of them, not all of them, are really good just

shaken right out of the bottle. And it's nice to pair that. It's nice to cook some spice. You know,

if you're like cooking with turmeric and then at the end you can finish with a little bit and maybe

not bloom it, but add it at the end and just have it warm up in like your soup or your stew.

You're going to add different elements of turmeric flavor that way.
