Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between cooking Whole and Ground Spices? Ground Spices?
There isn't any difference between cooking with whole spices and ground spices. After harvesting, spices are ground. The quality is the same.
However, this price differential is quite significant. Because of the labor involved in making whole spices, they cost more. The flavor is well worth the effort.
You'll often find extra discounts for bulk purchases when you buy whole spices. If you buy a whole bag of cinnamon sticks, you may get a discount.
This is true for cloves, ginger and cardamom. You might be able to save money by buying these spices in bulk.
Whole spices can also last longer than the ground spices. This is because ground spices lose their potency quickly due to oxidation.
But the main reason why we recommend purchasing whole spices is that they add a lot of character to recipes.
For instance, you can make a delicious curry with whole turmeric instead of ground turmeric. Or you can grind whole coriander seeds to create a spice blend for chicken dishes.
Also, grinding spices takes time. When you buy whole spices, it makes sense to buy a large quantity. So you don't run short of spices.
What is the importance of spices?
A spice is a seasoning used to enhance flavour in food. Spices come in various forms, such as powders, liquids, gums, oils, pastes, and seeds. They are also known as condiments and flavours.
It's a great way of adding variety to your meals by spiceing them up. Many spices can be added for additional flavor and excitement.
It may be that adding a few drops to your bowl of soup makes it more flavorful. You could also add a few cayenne peppers to a cup of rice.
Fresh ingredients are the best way to try new spicing techniques. Look for organic dried herbs when you purchase them. Fresh herbs are more durable than dried herbs.
There are certain spices that are essential for cooking. But there are also some you might want to avoid. If you have a history liver disease, cinnamon sticks should be avoided. Ginger also contains high amounts of coumarin. However, it is much more concentrated. It's safe for those without any history of liver problems.
What Thai spice should I use to cook Thai food in my own kitchen?
In order to cook authentic Thai food at home you will need five spices: black pepper (cayenne), coriander seeds (coriander seeds), turmeric and cinnamon. Each ingredient is unique and plays an integral role in the creation of delicious dishes.
Cinnamon provides sweetness while black pepper enhances the flavours. Curry powder gets its yellow hue from turmeric and coriander seeds. Cayenne peppers bring the heat while cilantro adds freshness. Finally, cinnamon adds depth and complexity to any dish.

How To
How do you store your cooking spices?
I'll show you how to store spices properly for best results. First, we must understand how food is stored.
Because spice's flavour is diminished by light exposure, it should be stored in airtight containers. This is due oxygen reacting with organic compounds such that spices, causing oxidation.
To prevent oxidation of spices, keep them in dark cupboards. Spice tends to lose its flavour quickly if these conditions aren't met.
It is the best way to preserve spices' flavours by keeping them out of direct sunlight.
For a flavoured beverage, add herbs and spices. For example, mix two teaspoons of ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup of warm water and stir well. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon.
Dried herbs can be added to soups stews, casseroles pasta dishes rice dishes salads and desserts. Spread the spice mixture evenly onto the dish. Allow it to sit for between 5-10 minutes before serving.
If you have leftover cooked vegetables, fruit, meats, poultry, fish, shellfish, eggs, cheese, bread, crackers, cookies, cakes, pies, or puddings, they can be added to your favourite recipes as snacks.
For the best flavor of fresh herbs, you can chop them up or tear them apart and then add them to your favorite foods. You can also freeze spices and herbs by placing them in muffin cups or ice trays and freezing them. Once frozen, transfer them to freezer bags and zip-top plastic bag.
