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

However, the price difference is substantial. Whole spices are more expensive because of the labor required to process them. But the taste is worth it.

When you buy bulk spices, you may get additional discounts. A whole bag of cinnamon sticks might be eligible for a discount.

The same goes for nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cardamom, etc. These spices can be purchased in bulk to save money.

Whole spices can also last longer than the ground spices. Ground spices quickly lose their potency due to oxidation.

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

You can make delicious curry using whole turmeric, instead of ground turmeric. To make a spice mixture for chicken dishes, you can grind whole coriander seed.

The process of grinding spices takes a lot of time. When you buy whole spices, it makes sense to buy a large quantity. This will ensure that you don't run out of spices quickly.

How to Make a Garlic Press

It's possible to be confused if you don’t yet own a garlicpress. These tips will help you get started.

First things first: you'll need a large bowl. Then, place the bowl under the press and add the crushed garlic. Now, adjust the pressure regulator valve until it reaches maximum.

• You can crush whole garlic cloves using the press to make a buttery spread
• Place whole garlic cloves in a pizza dough and crush them before baking
• Blend roasted garlic into mashed potatoes or creamy polenta
• Make pesto with garlic mashed in the press
• Puree garlic in a smooth vinaigrette
