Frequently Asked Questions
What spices are used for Thai cooking?
Thai cuisine is well-known for its rich flavour profiles. These flavors are created from unique, flavorful spices which create delicious dishes.
Common ingredients in Thai cuisine include galangal and kaffir lime leaves, chilies, garlic, chillies, chillies, ginger, coriander and cumin.
Each spice adds to Thai cuisine's distinct flavour profile. It is used often in soups and curries; galangal lends a slightly peppery taste to dishes; chillies add a spicy kick; garlic gives dishes an umami depth; shrimp paste adds a subtle, but fragrant, aroma to dishes; coriander brings out a mild, yet pleasant aroma to dishes; cumin adds a smoky flavor to dishes; and turmeric gives food a vivid yellow color.
These spices are combined to create complex flavour profiles specific to Thai cuisine. The combination of spices allows chefs to create dishes that are both delicious and aromatic. You can bring Thai flavors to your kitchen by stocking up on these spices.

How To
How do I decide which spices I want to buy?
It is important to know how you can choose the right spices and herbs to cook. There are many options available, so how do you choose which ones to add in your pantry?
When selecting spices, you need to be aware of three key factors: cost, shelf life, flavour, and cost. Flavour profiles differ depending on whether you're cooking meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, beans, grains, pasta, eggs, dessert, bread, etc. 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 keep forever, while some others are prone to deterioration quickly. For example, cayenne pepper lasts for years, whereas oregano loses its potency after two months. Then there's the price. Spices can range anywhere from $1 per tablespoon to more than $100 per ounce. This means that spice prices can vary widely.
You'll also want to determine whether you prefer organic or non-organic ingredients. Organic products contain fewer chemicals and pesticides than conventional alternatives, making them better for your health and the environment. These products can also be more costly so make sure to weigh the benefits against the costs.
The best way to get the perfect spices for your home is to shop online. Online retailers offer comprehensive information about every product, including price, reviews, ratings, and ingredients.
Once you have narrowed your selection, you are able to place an order directly at the retailer. You should store your items in airtight containers, away from heat and sunlight once you receive them.
