Adobo Seasoning FAQ
Adobo seasoning, much loved in Latin American and Filipino cuisines is a wonder spice blend. It typically has a mix of garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cumin, and black pepper to give off savory, aromatic, and slightly spicy flavors. The problem people have most frequently is either using too much of the spice blend or too little. When seasoned correctly using adobo can elevate your dish, but if poorly dosed, it can overpower or underwhelm a dish. For excellent use of Adobo seasoning always consider the type of dish you’re preparing. For meats, you might consider using more as the seasoning flavor penetrates better for these types of dishes. For vegetable and lighter dishes, a smidge will do just to add that extra kick in the flavor profile without overpowering the natural taste of the vegetables. To get the most out of Adobo seasoning, consider adding it at the end of your cooking process since high heat can kill some of the flavors, particularly in the oregano and cumin. For less seasoned dishes like salsas or guacamole, you can add earlier in the blend to provide the seasoning ample time to infuse its flavor. You can also use the seasoning as a condiment for those who love to adjust their dishes to their preference. Some little known tips for using Adobo seasoning include using it as a marinade. Combine Adobo seasoning, vinegar, and olive oil for a quick and easy marinade for chicken or tofu. The vinegar will help tenderize the meat, and the Adobo seasoning will fill it with flavor.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does adobo seasoning expire?
Unopened adobo seasoning can last up to 2-3 years beyond the 'best by' date printed on the packaging, as long as it is kept in a cool, dry place. Once opened, adobo seasoning will maximize its flavor potency for about 6 months, and may start to lose flavor after this time, though is still safe to consume for 1-2 years as long as there is no sign of spoilage. Freezing adobo seasoning is not commonly done, but can be useful to lock in the flavor for longer term usage.
How do you tell if adobo seasoning is bad?
To determine if adobo seasoning has gone bad, start by examining its color. The vibrant shades of the spices should stay rich and not faded. Next, check the aroma. Fresh adobo seasoning has a distinct, strong smell. If it doesn't reveal a distinct odor when you sniff, or the aroma is faint, it has probably lost much of its potency. Lastly, look out for any signs of moisture or clumps in the seasoning since this could indicate the presence of bacteria or mold.
Tips for storing adobo seasoning to extend shelf life
• Store adobo seasoning in a cool, dry, and dark area to prevent heat, light, and moisture from degrading the seasoning. • Ensure that the seasoning container is closed tightly after each use to keep out moisture and other contaminants. • Don’t use a wet spoon or let any liquid get into the container as even a small amount of moisture can lead to bacterial growth. • Consider splitting your adobo seasoning into separate containers; so that you only open a small amount at a time to keep the rest fresher for longer. • While not common, freezing adobo seasoning in an airtight compartment or vacuum-sealed bag can prolong its flavor potency.
