Frequently Asked Questions
Can you add spice to a beverage?
I love the way spices add flavour to food. But how can you make them live when they're used in drinks.
Spices are great because they bring out the best in any beverage. You can add a little cinnamon or nutmeg to any glass of wine, beer or coffee.
However, most recipes call for ground spice so you will need fresh whole spices. It makes sense but is time-consuming and expensive.
This is where the magic happens. With some creativity, your favourite spices can be made into powdered forms that are easy to use. You can then mix the spices into your favorite beverages to make delicious spiced drinks.
There are two ways to go about creating these powders. The first involves the grinding of whole spices to make fine powder. Another uses a mortar and pestle to grind the spices into a finer consistency.
Whichever method you choose, you'll find that the resulting powder is much easier to measure out and store than whole spices. The powder is stable so you don't run low on stock.
Mixing spices can be fun to create new flavors. You could make minty water by combining spearmint and peppermint. Or ginger and cardamom pods to make spicy ginger tea.
Once you are skilled in the production of powdered spices, it is possible to apply that technique to herbs. Basil, rosemary, thyme and sage are some of the most popular herbs.
There are so many possibilities. Use powdered spices to give your beverages extra flavour or to enhance the taste of dishes such as soups, salads, and pasta.
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 might also contain gluten, which can make it hard to digest. It's important to avoid gluten-free diets if your condition is celiac.
While almond flour isn't considered a "superfood" per se, it contains healthy fats, fibre, protein, and vitamin E. It's also low in calories and sodium and contains no cholesterol.
The almond meal offers many nutritional benefits including iron, magnesium, zinc, manganese (thiamin), calcium, vitamin A, B1 and Vitamin C.
Almond flour, made from almonds contains monounsaturated and polyunsaturated oil. Both types help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels.
Almond flour also contains antioxidants like phenolics and flavonoids. These compounds are effective in preventing oxidative damages caused by free radicals.
The Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry published a study that found almond flour to have the same antioxidant activity as blueberries, cranberries and pomegranates.
Almond flour is typically sold along with almond milk, which is fortified to add additional nutrients.
Does Thai use ginger?
Yes. Ginger is used extensively in traditional Thai cooking. It is commonly added to stir-fries or soups. Ginger is also used in desserts such as lassis.
Ginger is native to China, Japan, and Korea, and its origins date back more than 5,000 years. It is believed it originated in Southeast Asia. There, it was used for medicinal purposes.
Ginger has been known to improve digestion and reduce nausea. It may even help prevent migraines. Ginger aids in relieving muscle spasms and joint pains. It can also treat arthritis.
In Thailand, ginger is most often used fresh. The ginger root is cut into thin strips, dried and stored in a sealed container for future use. You can buy ginger root in jars or cans from Asian markets.

How To
How do I decide which spices I want to buy?
Knowing how to choose the best herbs and spices for your dishes is essential to being a good cook. There are hundreds to choose from, so where should you start when choosing the right ones for 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. You'll need to narrow your choices once you've chosen a category.
There are many factors that affect shelf life. Some spices can last forever while others go bad quickly. For example, cayenne pepper is good for years and oregano lasts only two months. Price is another important factor. The price of spices can vary from $1 per tablespoon to over $100 per ounce. This means you'll need to find a balance between value and quality.
It is also important to decide if you prefer organic ingredients or not. Organic products have fewer pesticides and chemicals that conventional products, which is better for your health as well as 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 provide extensive information about each product including reviews, prices, ratings and ratings.
Once you have narrowed down your choices, you can place an online order with the retailer. You should store your items in airtight containers, away from heat and sunlight once you receive them.
