Frequently Asked Questions
Almond Meal vs. Almond Flour: What's the Difference?
An almond meal, which can be used as an almond flour substitute, is more versatile than other almond flours because it can be used for baking and cooking, as well as making nut free dishes.
Almond flour might also contain gluten, which can make it hard to digest. If you have celiac disease or another digestive disorder, it's essential to avoid gluten-free foods.
Almond flour may not be considered a "superfood", per se, but it contains healthy fats as well as fibre, protein and vitamin E.
The nutritional benefits of almond meal include magnesium and copper, iron and zinc, manganese as well as potassium and vitamin C.
Almond flour, made from almonds contains monounsaturated and polyunsaturated oil. Both can lower LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol.
In addition, almond flour is rich in antioxidants, including flavonoids, phenolics, and proanthocyanidins. These compounds prevent free radical-induced oxidative stress.
The Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry published a study that found almond flour to have the same antioxidant activity as blueberries, cranberries and pomegranates.
Almond milk is often sold with almond flour, which has been fortified with additional nutrients.
What purpose is Thai spice used?
We've all heard the term "Thai spice" thrown around without knowing exactly what it means. But once we start to feel the heat in our mouths, we wonder why it hasn't been eaten more.
But it isn't just any old spice. It's an essential ingredient that adds flavor and depth to dishes that would otherwise be bland.
Although there are many recipes that call for Thai spices in large numbers, very few recipes actually use the true thing. Let's talk about how to make sure you add these amazing flavors to your meals.
Thais have been using spices and herbs to flavor food and drinks since ancient times. Thai derives its name from the Sanskrit phrase "to cook".
Thais are still fond of spicy foods. This preference is often explained by the hot climate in Thailand that makes it difficult to stay warm while drinking hot drinks. Thais also consume more chili peppers that Americans or Europeans.
A local Asian grocery store is the best place to learn more about Thai spice. There you will find a variety of ingredients such as dried chilies fresh basil leaves curry paste and ground black pepper.
Whole peppercorns, whole cloves, cinnamon sticks and star anise may also be found.
Thai cuisine uses both dry and wet spices. Most Thai cuisine uses dry spices, which are ground and pulverized finely.
Dry spices can be added to any dish. You can sprinkle ground red pepper on your chicken soup. Mixing wet spices with oil or butter can create a paste.
Wet spices are usually used in marinades, sauces, and dressings. Some common wet spices include fish sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, curry paste, and hoisin sauce.
If you want to try making Thai dishes at home, you need to know which spices go well with certain ingredients.
Red pepper flakes should be used if you're using beef. White pepper is better for seafood such as shrimp.
If you don't live near an Asian market, you can order online. You will find everything from dried chilies to exotic herbs and spices here.

Can you add spice into a drink
I love how spices bring flavour to food. How do you make spices alive in drinks?
Spices can bring out the best of any beverage. There's nothing better than adding cinnamon or nutmeg in your glass of wine or beer, whether it's coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or cocktails.
Most recipes call for ground spices. This means that you'll need fresh whole spice. While this makes sense, it is costly, takes time and requires storage space.
Here's where the magic happens. With some creativity, your favourite spices can be made into powdered forms that are easy to use. These spices can be mixed into favorite beverages to create tasty spiced drinks.
These powders can be made in two ways. The first involves the grinding of whole spices to make fine powder. Another way is to grind the spices in a mortar and pestle.
You'll find it easier to make powder than whole spices, regardless of the method. Powder keeps well, so you will never run out.
You can even experiment with mixing different spices to create new flavours. Peppermint and spearmint can be combined to make minty water. You can also make spicy ginger-ginger tea by combining ginger and cardamom seeds.
Once you are proficient in making powdered spice, you can also apply this technique to herbs. Some popular herbs include basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, and sage.
There are so many possibilities. Powdered spices can be used to add flavour to beverages or enhance the flavor of dishes like soups, salads and pasta.
Thai food can Paprika be used?
Yes. It's an ingredient in many dishes including Pad See Ew (Thai Fried Rice), and eggs cooked in coconut milk.
Paprika is found in Thai food and Mexican, Italian, Spanish, Indian, Chinese, French, Moroccan, Middle Eastern, Lebanese, Greek, Turkish, and Balkan cuisines.
Paprika can also be traced back to Ancient Greece, more than 5,000 year ago. The Hungarian language, which means "pepper", is where the word "paprika" came from.
What is the use of garlic in Thai cooking?
Thai cuisine makes use of garlic. Garlic is used often in Thai cuisine, such as soups, stir fries, curries, sauces, and salads.
Thai garlic is chopped and fried together with ginger, shallots and other spices. Also, you can eat it with sticky white rice.
It is common to mince garlic and then mix it with chili paste, salt, fish sauce and lime juice. This mixture is called "Nam Phrik" (namphrik). Nam phrik often comes with grilled chicken breast or beef.
What is the Thai use for mint?
Thai cuisine has the most widespread use of lime-leaf mint (Mentha certvina).
Its mild, lemony taste adds freshness and zest to dishes. Other spices such as lemongrass, galangal, garlic and coriander are also frequently added to enhance the flavour of Thai dishes.
Mint can be used as a sweet or savoury herb. To achieve authentic Thai flavours, it is important to use the right spices, herbs and aromatics.
If you're making Thai dishes, be sure to include lime-leaf fresh mint!
Happy cooking!

How To
Do You Know How to Make Curry Paste?
Curry paste includes dried chillies (scallions, shallots), galangal root and lemongrass as well as kaffir lime leaves, garlic, shrimp pastes, sugar, salt and sometimes coconut milk. It's a common ingredient in Thai cuisine.
Curry paste is a very popular condiment in Southeast Asia. Curry paste can add a distinct flavour to many dishes like curries.
It's very simple to make this at home. Follow our step by step guide below.
Step1 - Prepare Ingredients
- Before you can start the recipe, it is important to have all the ingredients ready.
- Begin by peeling and cutting shallots into small pieces (about 2 cups). Then, cut the galangal roots into small pieces (approximately 3 inches in length), and then set aside.
- Next, remove and cut the cloves of garlic (about four cloves). The lemongrass stems should be roughly 1/2 inch thick.
- Then, crush dried red chilli peppers (about four tablespoons) and remove the seeds (optional).
- Next, cut the kaffir-lime leaves into thin strips (5 inches). Remove the white part of the stem and set it aside.
- After that, wash and drain shrimp paste (about 6 ounces), then coarsely mash it.
- Measure out the sugar and salt.
Step2 - Grind Ingredients
- Combine all ingredients and blend until smooth.
- The texture should be comparable to peanut butter.
- Not to worry if the dish contains too much oil, you can use water to replace it.
Step3 - Add Coconut Milk
- Mix coconut milk with the mixture.
- Add coconut milk slowly so that the paste does not become too sticky.
- If you prefer less spice, add less chillies to the recipe and more galangalroot.
- For a more spicy taste, increase the amount of chillies and reduce the use of galangal root. The final result should taste delicious to you.
Step4 -- Serve
- Top with your favorite food.
