Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between cooking with whole spices and using ground spices? Ground Spices?

There are no differences between cooking with whole spices or ground spices. After harvesting, all spices are ground. There is no quality difference.

However, the price difference is substantial. Whole spices cost more because of the labour involved in processing them. But the flavour is worth it.

You'll often find extra discounts for bulk purchases when you buy whole spices. If you buy a whole bag of cinnamon sticks, you may get a discount.

The same is true for nutmeg cloves ginger, cardamom, and ginger. If you purchase these spices in bulk, you may be able to save money.

Whole spices also last longer than ground spices. This is because ground spices lose their potency 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. A large amount of whole spices is a good idea. So you don't run short of spices.

What is Thai spice used for?

We all have heard the term Thai spices, but we don't understand what it really means. But when we discover our mouths water, we wonder why we haven't been eating more of it.

It isn't just any spice. It's an essential ingredient that adds flavor and depth to dishes that would otherwise be bland.

There are thousands of Thai recipes, but very few include the authentic flavor. So let's help you figure out how to ensure you're adding these delicious flavors to your meals.

Thais have been cooking with herbs, spices and other flavors since ancient times. Thai derives its name from the Sanskrit phrase "to cook".

Even today, most Thais prefer to eat spicy foods. 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.

The best way to learn about Thai spices is to visit a local Asian grocery store. There are many options available, including dried chilies as well as fresh basil leaves and curry paste.

You may also find whole peppercorns.

Thai cuisine has two kinds of spices: wet and dry. The dry spices are usually ground while the wet spices are crushed or pounded finely.

Dry spices are usually added to a dish. A good example is chicken soup with ground red pepper. Mixing wet spices with oil or butter can create a paste.

Wet spices are used in dressings, sauces and marinades. Common wet spices include oyster sauce, fish sauce and sesame oils, curry paste, hoisin sauce, and sesame seed oil.

Thai recipes can be prepared at home by knowing which spices pair well with what ingredients.

For example, if you are using beef, you should use red pepper flakes. If you're using seafood like shrimp, white pepper should be used.

Online ordering is also possible if you don’t have an Asian market. There are many options for exotic herbs, spices and dried chilies.

These Thai recipes will make you hungry next time!

How To

How do you store your cooking spices?

Here's how to store your cooking spices for maximum performance. First, it is important to understand the science behind how foodstuffs are stored.

Keep spices out of direct sunlight as light will reduce their flavor. This is due to oxygen combining with organic compounds, such as spices.

To avoid oxidation, spice should be kept in dark cupboards. Spices lose their flavor quickly if these conditions don't exist.

The best way to preserve the flavour of spices is to keep them in airtight jars away from direct sunlight.

For a flavoured beverage, add herbs and spices. Mix two teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 1/2 cup warm water. Stir well. Serve immediately by adding a squeeze lemon juice.

Dry herbs and spices can also be used in soups, stews or casseroles. 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 also freeze herbs and spices by placing them in ice cube trays or muffin cups and freezing them. Once frozen, transfer them to freezer bags and zip-top plastic bag.
