What's the difference in cooking with whole vs. ground spices? Ground Spices?
There are no differences between cooking with whole spices or ground spices. All spices are ground after harvesting. It doesn't make a difference in terms of quality.
However, this price differential is quite significant. Whole spices can be more expensive due to the labor involved in their processing. However, the flavor is worth it.
Bulk purchases of whole spices can often get you additional discounts. You might get a discount if your entire bag is of cinnamon sticks.
It is the same for cardamom and cloves as well as ginger, ginger, nutmeg, and ginger. These spices can be purchased in bulk to save money.
Whole spices also last longer than ground spices. Because ground spices lose potency quickly from oxidation, this is why whole spices last longer than ground spices.
However, the main reason we recommend whole spices is because they add character to recipes.
You can make delicious curry using whole turmeric, instead of ground turmeric. To make a spice mixture for chicken dishes, you can grind whole coriander seed.
Also, grinding spices takes time. It is sensible to purchase large quantities when buying whole spices. This will ensure that you don't run out of spices quickly.

How To
How to store cooking spice?
How to store cooking spices in a way that maximizes their performance. First, let's understand how foods are stored.
Because spice's flavour is diminished by light exposure, it should be stored in airtight containers. This is caused by oxidation, which happens when oxygen and organic compounds combine like spices.
To avoid oxidation, spices must be kept in dark cupboards. Spices lose their flavor quickly if these conditions don't exist.
Keep spices fresh by storing them in airtight jars 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 by adding a squeeze lemon juice.
Dried herbs and spices can be added to soups and stews, casseroles and rice dishes. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly on the dish, and let it sit for five to ten minutes before you serve.
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.
If you want to take advantage of the flavours of fresh herbs and spices, chop or tear them up and add them to foods while they're still hot. You can freeze herbs or spices by placing them on ice cube tray or muffin cups. Once frozen transfer to zip-top plastic bags or freezer bags.
