Frequently Asked Questions

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 can be ground once they have been harvested. The quality is the same.

The price difference is however significant. Whole spices are more expensive due to the labour required for processing them. But the flavour is well worth it.

Bulk purchases of whole spices can often get you additional discounts. A whole bag of cinnamon sticks might be eligible for a discount.

The same applies to nutmeg and cloves, ginger or cardamom. This can help you save money on spices if you buy them in bulk.

Ground spices are also more durable than whole spices. Ground spices lose their potency very quickly due to oxidation.

The main reason we recommend whole spices over dried is that they can add lots of flavor to recipes.

For instance, you can make a delicious curry with whole turmeric instead of ground turmeric. You can also grind whole coriander leaves to make a spice mix for chicken dishes.

The process of grinding spices takes a lot of time. It is sensible to purchase large quantities when buying whole spices. This will ensure that you don't run out of spices quickly.

What kind of mint is used to make Thai food?

Lime-leaf mint (Mentha cervina) is the most commonly used type of mint in Thai cuisine.

It has a mild, lemony flavour that adds freshness and zing to dishes. To enhance Thai cuisine's flavour, other spices like galangal, coriander, lemongrass and garlic are often added.

Mint can be used in sweet or savoury dishes. For authentic Thai flavours, you must use the right spices and herbs.

For extra flavor, make sure to add lime-leaf mint next time you prepare a Thai meal!

Happy cooking!

Which Thai spice do I need to cook Thai food at home?

You will need to know five key spices in order to make authentic Thai food at your home: cayenne pepper, coriander seeds and turmeric. Each ingredient has its own unique flavour profile, and each plays an important role in creating delicious dishes.

Black pepper adds savoury flavours, while cinnamon adds sweetness. Curry powder is given its characteristic yellow colour by turmeric and coriander seed. Cayenne peppers add heat, while cilantro brings out the freshness. Finally, cinnamon adds depth and complexity to any dish.

You can find each of these spices at your local grocery store, but if you'd instead buy them online, here are our recommendations for where to shop.

What are the 11 Indian spices used in Indian cooking

Indian cuisine includes eleven spices, including cumin, coriander, cumin, mustard, fennel, and nigella seed, as well as black pepper, cloves and cinnamon sticks, dry red chill powder, turmeric, cardamom, and black pepper.

These spices are found in nearly every dish. These spices add a unique flavor to dishes like curries, chutneys and pickles, rice, bread, and desserts.

Spices are also important for health reasons. For example, turmeric helps fight cancer cells. Bad breath is protected by cloves. Black pepper reduces cholesterol levels. Cinnamon lowers blood pressure. And ginger aids digestion.

A spice rack is a fantastic kitchen tool that allows you experiment with different combinations. You can make your spice mix or buy ready-made blends that contain many of the essential spices.

Some people don't like spices. These people believe spices are a masking agent and do not enhance natural flavors. There is nothing wrong with adding salt or pepper to enhance the flavor of your meals.

Most chefs agree that spices are an essential part of cooking art. Many dishes would taste bland and boring without spices. You might be inspired to try something new next time you feel adventurous.

How to store spices for cooking?

This article will show you how to store cooking spice for optimal performance. First, it is important to understand the science behind how foodstuffs are stored.

Spices are stored in airtight containers away from the light because exposure to light diminishes their flavour. This is due to oxygen combining with organic compounds, such as spices.

To avoid oxidation, spices must be kept 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.

To create a flavorful drink, you can add spices and herbs to water. Mix 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup of warm liquid and stir. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon.

You can add dried herbs and spices to soups, stews, casseroles, pasta, rice dishes, salads, and desserts. Place the spice mixture on top of the dish and allow it to rest for 5-10 mins before serving.

Remaining cooked vegetables, fruit and meats can be used in your favorite recipes to make snacks.

Fresh herbs and spices can be enjoyed by being chopped or broken up. You can freeze herbs or spices by placing them on ice cube tray or muffin cups. Once frozen, place them in freezer bags or zip-top bags.
