I make my own oregano since I have an herb garden and it grows like a weed. I prefer that one fresh though. Certain herbs I prefer fresh—also, basil, dill, mint, chives, rosemary and thyme. Someone told me you can put these in an ice-cube tray to preserve as well.

Now whole spices I can see. Tho' I prefer nutmeg already ground. I like the mellowing to the flavor more than it fresh (which I do have). Otherwise, it's a bit peppery fresh.

I have a rasp but it wouldn't work for whole cardamon. Do you have a spice grinder?
