Do you know what you're eating? If you use: paprika, chili pepper, cayenne pepper, chili flakes and tumeric, you might want to put those in your freezer for 3 days prior to use. OH; and then you might want to dump those into a large bowl and investigate what's in there.
Apparently 12% of imported spices contain insect parts AND the FDA allows 475 or more insect fragments per 50 grams. That's okay don'cha know. Not to mention the 'critters' that are still alive in the containers.

You are probably right @maezee . Anything that is harvested would probably have a wide variety of 'goodies' in it.

OK that just might put me off of spices. Unfortunately, there are all kinds of spices in ready-made products. Thanks for sharing. What's a bit of bug now and then, right?

And here we were just worried about GMO's, chemicals, pesticides (apparently that doesn't work), hormones, steroids.....@RasmaSandra .
