Frequently Asked Questions

Almond Flour and 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. If you have celiac disease or another digestive disorder, it's essential to avoid gluten-free foods.

Almond flour isn't considered "superfood", but it is high in healthy fats, fibres, protein, vitamin E, and sodium.

Almond meal has many nutritional benefits, including magnesium, copper and zinc as well as manganese and potassium.

Almond flour is made from almonds and contains monounsaturated fat acids. Almond oil, however, contains polyunsaturated oils. Both help to lower LDL (bad), and increase HDL levels.

Almond flour is also rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids and phenolics. These compounds are effective in preventing oxidative damages caused by free radicals.

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 commonly sold together with almondmilk, which has additional nutrients.

How to Store Spices

Keep them in an airtight, dry container away from heat or light.

You can store them for long periods in a dark cupboard. This will help keep them fresh and prevent any deterioration due to oxidation.

Keep your spices out of direct sunlight and in a cool dry place. If the spice is placed near a heater or window, it may lose its flavour and aroma.

Spices can be best kept in an airtight container or tin. Avoid storing spices in plastic containers.

After opening the seal, make sure to inspect it again. Humidity can cause spoilage.

Do not throw away any spices that you have left over. Use them instead by adding them into other dishes. You can even freeze them to extend their shelf life.

Thai food contains paprika.

Yes. It is an ingredient in many dishes, including Pad See Ew (Thai fried rice), from eggs cooked in coconut milk.

Thai cuisine, Mexican, Spanish and Indian food, as well as Thai and Balkan dishes, contain paprika.

Paprika can be traced back over 5,000 years ago to Ancient Greece. The Hungarian language is what "paprika" means.

What's the difference in cooking with whole vs. ground spices? Ground Spices?

There isn't any difference between cooking with whole spices and ground spices. All spices are ground after harvesting. There is no quality difference.

The price difference is however significant. Whole spices can be more expensive due to the labor involved in their processing. However, the flavor is worth it.

Buy whole spices and you'll often receive additional discounts. You might get a discount if your entire bag is of cinnamon sticks.

This is true for cloves, ginger and cardamom. These spices can be purchased in bulk to save money.

Whole spices can also last longer than the ground spices. Ground spices lose their potency very quickly 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 a delicious curry by using whole turmeric in place 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. If you're buying whole spices it makes sense for you to buy large quantities. So you don't run short of spices.

Which are the best Thai spice?

Galangal and coriander are some of the best Thai spices. You can also use clove, cardamom black peppercorn, clove, cardamom clove, cardamom, fennel seed, star anise, cloves and cayenne pepper as spices.

Rose petals, bay, pandan leaves (curry leaves), curry leaves; pandan leaves; kaffir lime leaf leaves; vanilla beans; tamarind pods; lemon grass, basil, and mine are some other valuable spices.

What are the seven Indian spices?

Indian spices are a collection of spices used in Indian cuisine. They typically include cardamom, cumin, coriander, turmeric, fenugreek, ginger, and asafoetida (also known as hing). These spices add flavour and aroma to dishes by blending and complementing natural ingredients such as meats and vegetables. Combining spices creates unique flavour profiles that make Indian food so special.

Cardamom has a sweet and pungent taste with hints of citrus and ginger. It's used in many dishes, including biryani and curries. Cumin has a strong, earthy aroma as well as a rich and nuanced flavor. It is often added in to curries, dals, or meat dishes. Coriander adds a delicate nuttiness and sweet citrus aroma to dishes. It is used often to season vegetables and lentils.

Turmeric has an earthy taste with mustard, spices, hints of pepper. This spice is used in many dishes, including curries. It has a golden colour. Fenugreek's aroma is rich and has earthy tones. It is often used in seasoning meat dishes like kebabs, curries, and kebabs. It is spicy and pungent with citrus hints. It gives a great kick to soups, curries, and chutneys. Asafoetida is a spice that has strong flavors and a pungent smell.

These spices combine to create unique flavours that make Indian cuisine so distinctive.

Can you add spice into a drink

I love spices adding flavour to food. How do you make spices alive in drinks?

Spices are excellent because they add incredible depth to any beverage. There's nothing better than adding cinnamon or nutmeg in your glass of wine or beer, whether it's coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or cocktails.

Most recipes call for ground spices. This means that you'll need fresh whole spice. It makes sense but is time-consuming and expensive.

Here is where the magic happens. With some creativity, your favourite spices can be made into powdered forms that are easy to use. Mix them with your favorite drinks to make delicious spiced beverages.

There are two methods to make these powders. The first involves the grinding of whole spices to make fine powder. One method involves using a mortar-and-pestle to grind spices into a finer consistency.

No matter which method you use, the powder will be much easier to measure and store than whole spices. The powder is stable so you don't run low on stock.

You can also experiment with different spices to create new flavor combinations. For example, you could combine peppermint and spearmint leaves to make minty water. Or ginger and cardamom pods to make spicy ginger tea.

Once you are proficient in making powdered spice, you can also apply this technique to herbs. Some of the most common herbs are basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano and sage.

The possibilities are limitless. Powdered spices can enhance the flavor and texture of beverages, such as soups or salads, as well as the taste of pasta.

How To

How do you decide which spices to purchase?

You need to be able to select the right herbs and spices to use in your cooking. There are many options available, so how do you choose which ones to add in your pantry?

When choosing spices, there are three things you should consider: the flavour profile, shelf-life, 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 are good for a lifetime, while others can be lost quickly. For example, cayenne pepper is good for years and oregano lasts only two months. The price is another factor. Spices can range anywhere from $1 per tablespoon to more than $100 per ounce. This means you have to strike the right balance between quality and cost.

It is also important to decide if you prefer organic ingredients or not. Organic products contain fewer chemicals and pesticides than conventional alternatives, making them better for your health and the environment. They can be more expensive, so it's important to weigh the costs and the benefits.

Online shopping is the best method to ensure that you get the right spices for the kitchen. Online retailers provide detailed information on each product, including ingredient lists, pricing, reviews, and ratings.

Once you've narrowed your list, you can order directly from the retailer. Once you have received your items safely store them in an airtight container, away from heat & light.
