Frequently Asked Questions
What's the Difference Between Cooking With Whole vs. Ground Spices?
There isn't any difference between cooking with whole spices and ground spices. All spices are ground after harvesting. So there is no difference in quality.
The price difference is however significant. Whole spices can be more expensive due to the labor involved in their processing. But the taste is worth it.
You'll often find extra discounts for bulk purchases when you buy whole spices. For example, you might receive a discount if you buy an entire bag of cinnamon sticks.
This is true for cloves, ginger and cardamom. These spices can be purchased in bulk to save money.
Whole spices can also last longer than the ground spices. This is because ground spices lose their potency quickly due to oxidation.
We recommend buying whole spices because they add flavor to your recipes.
Whole turmeric can be used to make delicious curry. You can also use whole coriander to create a spice combination for chicken dishes.
It takes time to grind spices. A large amount of whole spices is a good idea. You won't run low on spices if you buy large quantities.
What spices are commonly used in Thai cuisine?
Thai cuisine is famous for its complex flavor profiles. These flavors are created from unique, flavorful spices which create delicious dishes.
Thai cuisine uses common ingredients such as galangal (lemongrass), kaffir lime leaves and chillies.
Each spice adds to Thai cuisine's distinct flavour profile. The most common uses of lemongrass are in soups, curries, stews, and galangal; galangal is used to add a little peppery kick to dishes, kaffir lime leaves give dishes a citrusy scent, chillies are spicy; shrimp paste gives food an umami flavour; garlic provides a sharp, pungent flavor; cilantro adds a mild aroma to dishes, cumin lends a smoky taste, while turmeric gives dishes a vibrant yellow hue.
These spices are combined to create complex flavour profiles specific to Thai cuisine. By using a combination of spices, chefs can create dishes that are both flavorful and aromatic. You can bring Thai flavors to your kitchen by stocking up on these spices.
What are the uses of Thai spice?
Everyone has heard the term Thai spice, but not all know what it is. We are left wondering why we don't eat more Thai spice when our mouths water.
It's not just any spice. It is an essential ingredient that brings flavor and depth into dishes that might otherwise be boring.
There are thousands of Thai recipes, but very few include the authentic flavor. Let's discuss how to incorporate these tasty flavors into your meals.
Thais have been using spices and herbs to flavor food and drinks since ancient times. The name Thai originates from the Sanskrit word for "to cook."
Most Thais like spicy food, even today. 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.
It is a great way to learn more about Thai spices. There will be a large selection of ingredients available including dried chilies (fresh basil leaves), curry paste, ground black pepper, and curry paste.
Also, you may find whole peppercorns.
Thai cuisine uses both dry and wet spices. Wet spices are ground finely, while dry spices are typically ground.
Dry spices are often added to a dish directly. For example, you can sprinkle ground red pepper onto your chicken soup. Mixing wet spices with oil or butter can create a paste.
Wet spices are used in dressings, sauces and marinades. 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.
For example, red pepper flakes is recommended for beef. Use white pepper if you are using seafood like shrimp.
Finally, you can always order online if you don't have access to a good quality Asian market. This market has everything you need, including dried chilies as well as exotic herbs and spices.

How To
How do you store your cooking spices?
This article will show you how to store cooking spice for optimal performance. First, we must understand how food is stored.
Because spices lose their flavour when exposed to the sun, they are best kept out of reach from light. This is because oxygen reacts with organic compounds like those in spices to cause oxidation.
To prevent oxidation, spices should be stored in dark cupboards. Spices lose their flavor quickly if these conditions don't exist.
Keep spices in airtight containers away from direct sun to preserve their flavour.
For a flavoured beverage, add herbs and spices. Mix 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup of warm liquid and stir. Serve immediately by adding a squeeze lemon juice.
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 freeze herbs or spices by placing them on ice cube tray or muffin cups. Transfer frozen items to zip-top or freezer bags.
