Step into any UAE kitchen around dinner time, and you’ll hear it before you see it. The soft clink of lids. The smell of roasted cumin. Cardamom crushed between fingers. Saffron blooming in warm milk. Spices are not background ingredients here. They’re the heart of the meal. Which is why the way we store them matters more than we admit.
Some homes swear by stainless steel or acrylic containers lined up inside drawers. Clean, practical, invisible. Others keep a traditional brass spice box on the counter, within reach, almost like a ritual object.
