It is mild and lemony in flavour, which adds freshness as well as zing to dishes. To enhance Thai cuisine's flavour, other spices like galangal, coriander, lemongrass and garlic are often added.

Mint is versatile and can be used both in sweet and savoury recipes. You can create authentic Thai flavours by choosing the right herbs, spices, and aromatics.

How to store spices for cooking?

Here's how to store your cooking spices for maximum performance. We must first understand the science behind food storage.

Keep spices out of direct sunlight as light will reduce their flavor. 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. These conditions can cause spices to quickly lose their flavor.

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

You can add herbs and spices to water to make a flavoured drink. For example, mix two teaspoons of ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup of warm water and stir well. Add a squeezed lemon juice and serve immediately.

You can add dried herbs and spices to soups, stews, casseroles, pasta, rice dishes, salads, and desserts. Just sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the dish. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before you serve.

Remaining cooked vegetables, fruit and meats can be used in your favorite recipes to make snacks.

To get the best flavours from fresh herbs and spices, cut them or tear them and add them to hot foods. You can also freeze spices and herbs by placing them in muffin cups or ice trays and freezing them. Transfer frozen items to zip-top or freezer bags.
