What's the difference in cooking with whole vs. ground spices? Ground Spices?
There are no significant differences in the cooking of whole and ground spices. All spices are ground after harvesting. It doesn't make a difference in terms of quality.
The price difference is however significant. Whole spices are more expensive because of the labor required to process them. The flavor is well worth the effort.
Buy whole spices and you'll often receive additional discounts. You might get a discount if your entire bag is of cinnamon sticks.
The same applies to nutmeg and cloves, ginger or cardamom. You might be able to save money by buying these spices in bulk.
Whole spices also last longer than ground spices. Because ground spices lose potency quickly from oxidation, this is why whole spices last longer than ground spices.
We recommend buying whole spices because they add flavor to your recipes.
A delicious curry can be made with whole turmeric as opposed to ground turmeric. Or you can grind whole coriander seeds to create a spice blend for chicken dishes.
It takes time to grind spices. When you buy whole spices, it makes sense to buy a large quantity. That way, you won't run out of spices too fast.

How To
How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms?
So the shiitakes have been doing well. There's nothing wrong about them. But how do we cut them without cutting ourselves? We have tried every method, including using scissors. But they keep slipping out of our hands. What is the deal?
The trick is simple. You must put a rubber band around the mushroom's stem and twist it tight. That way, you won't slip and cut yourself.
You may think it sounds too easy. It is. It's also extremely effective.
The rubber band makes the stem slippery, so it feels natural when you pick it up. It doesn't hurt to keep the stem in place.
Go ahead, try it. You'll be amazed at how much easier it is to cut mushrooms now.
