Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common spices, condiments and seasonings that Thais use in their cuisine?
Thai cuisine is a mixture of Asian influences. Its roots are in India and China as well as Southeast Asia.

How to Store Spices
They should be kept out of direct sunlight and heat in an airtight container.
To store spices for longer periods of time, place them in a dark cupboard. This will help keep them fresh and prevent any deterioration due to oxidation.

How To
How do you decide which spices to purchase?
Knowing how to choose the best herbs and spices for your dishes is essential to being a good cook. There are many choices. So where do you start?
Three main factors should be considered when selecting spices: price, shelf life and flavour profile. 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 decided on a category you will need to narrow your options based on the differences.
Also, shelf lives can vary widely. Some spices can last forever while others go bad quickly. For example, cayenne pepper lasts for years, whereas oregano loses its potency after two months. Price is another important factor. Spices are available in a range of prices, from $1 per tablespoon to more expensive than $100 per an ounce. This means you need to balance quality and price.
Also, consider whether organic or not organic ingredients. Organic products have fewer pesticides and chemicals that conventional products, which is better for your health as well as the environment. They can be more expensive, so it's important to weigh the costs and 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 have narrowed down your choices, you can place an online order with the retailer. When you have received your items, make sure to keep them in an airtight container.
