Frequently Asked Questions

Does Thai use ginger?

The answer is yes. Ginger is used extensively in traditional Thai cooking. It is often added to stir-fries and soups and is also commonly used in desserts and drinks such as lassis.

Ginger is an indigenous plant of China, Japan and Korea. Its roots date back more that 5,000 years. It is believed that ginger originated in Southeast Asia where it was grown for medicinal purposes.

Ginger has been known to improve digestion and reduce nausea. It may even help prevent migraines. Ginger aids in relieving muscle spasms and joint pains. It can also treat arthritis.

Ginger is often eaten fresh in Thailand. The ginger root is cut into thin strips, dried and stored in a sealed container for future use. Ginger root can be purchased in cans or jars at Asian markets.


Thai food contains paprika.

Yes. It's an ingredient in many dishes including Pad See Ew (Thai Fried Rice), and eggs cooked in coconut milk.

Thai food, Mexican, Spanish or Indian cuisines, Thai food, Mexican, Spanish, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Thai, Greek, Turkish and Balkan cuisines all contain paprika.

Paprika can also be traced back to Ancient Greece, more than 5,000 year ago. The Hungarian language is what "paprika" means.


Almond Flour or Almond Meal? What is the difference?

Almond meal can be substituted for almond flour and is versatile enough to be used in baking, cooking and even making nut-free meals.

Almond flour may also contain gluten, making it difficult to digest. It's important to avoid gluten-free diets if your condition is celiac.

While almond flour isn't considered a "superfood" per se, it contains healthy fats, fibre, protein, and vitamin E. It's also low in calories and sodium and contains no cholesterol.

The nutritional benefits of almond meal include magnesium and copper, iron and zinc, manganese as well as potassium and vitamin C.

Almond flour is made of almonds. Almond oil is made from polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, fatty oils. Both types lower LDL (bad cholesterol) and increase HDL(good cholesterol).

Almond flour is also high in antioxidants, such as phenolics, flavonoids and proanthocyanidins. These compounds protect against free radical-induced oxidative harm.

A study published by the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry revealed that almond flour had an antioxidant activity equal to that of blueberries.

Almond flour is usually sold alongside almond milk, fortified with additional nutrients.

How To

How to decide what spices to buy?

It is important to know how you can choose the right spices and herbs to cook. There are hundreds of choices, so where can you start when choosing which spices to add to your kitchen?

When selecting spices, you need to be aware of three key factors: cost, shelf life, flavour, and cost. The flavour profiles of different types of food can vary depending on whether they are used to cook meat, fish or vegetables, as well as pasta, eggs and bread. Once you have chosen a category, you can narrow down your choices by taking into account these differences.

Also, shelf lives can vary widely. Some spices will last forever, others may expire very quickly. Cayenne pepper has a long shelf life, while oregano is only good for two months. Price is another important factor. Prices for spices range from $1 per teaspoon to more than $100 an ounce. This means you need to balance quality and price.

Also, you will need to choose whether organic or non-organic ingredients are more appealing. Organic products are safer for the environment and contain less pesticides and chemicals than their conventional counterparts. However, they often cost more, so you'll need to weigh those costs against the benefits.

Online shopping is the best option to find the right spices. Online retailers provide extensive information about each product including reviews, prices, ratings and ratings.

Once you've narrowed down the list, it's possible to order directly from the retailer. Once you receive your items, store them safely in airtight containers away from heat and light.
