We know that taking a peek inside your date's medicine cabinet can reveal a lot about them, but what can you learn from their spice rack? Depending on how they organize and what it's stocked with can give you a whole lot of info. Check out our cheat sheet below to decode it.
Alphabetical Order
Their attention to detail also means they tend to judge everything and everyone around them. If you can come to grips with their incessant need to categorize, your relationship will be fine.
Empty Jars
Some of life's little rules remain unspoken, and filling up an empty spice jar is one of them. If much of their stock is depleted, be warned that this kind of behaviour may carry on into other areas of their life. Watch for other signs of selfish disregard, like putting an empty milk carton back in the fridge.

Label Maker
Anyone who takes the time to print out spice jar labels on a label maker can most likely also fix a computer and unlock a smartphone at home. Handy to have around, these DIYers are ones you can rely on to get the job done, even if it means staying in on a Friday night to watch them do it.
An Abundance of Ground Black Pepper
People hoarding copious amounts of ground black pepper have a tendency to cut corners in other areas of their life, seeking out cheap thrills over meaningful experiences.
Whole Cardamom
Characterized as both romantic and nurturing, whole cardamom stockists enjoy candlelight dinners and samba music. They collect acoustic guitars and scoff at the fact that "glamping" is actually a real thing. A perfect match for someone who loves the rugged life.

Spanish Paprika
Extroverted and friendly, it's sometimes hard to tell if these people are really into you, or if they just see you as a friend. While this can get frustrating, their passion for life is engaging, so why not hang out for awhile and enjoy it? It's not every day that you meet someone so optimistic about things.
Dry Mustard
Slightly stuffy and old-fashioned, these are the kind of people that know just what to say to your parents. The question is, are they cool enough for you to introduce to your friends? If you find yourself cringing at their constant references to The Sound of Music, chances are your friends will too.
Oregano
While on the outside these people can appear hot-headed and anxious, don't be deterred. Their complex personality may be masking a tender soul.
Mace
You could have conceivably scored huge here. Anyone who stocks mace does so for one of two reasons: pumpkin pie or Indian food. Either way, it's a win.

Himalayan Salt
A travel enthusiast who enjoys social demonstrations and general parades of any sort. Ask to see their passport and it will most likely be stamped by every country in the Southern Hemisphere. A perfect match for someone who wants to get away.
Cinnamon Sticks
Young at heart, these people are suckers for cute animal photos and GIFs of toddlers dancing to hip hop.
