Frequently Asked Questions
What is the value of spices?
A spice can be described as a seasoning to enhance flavour in food. Spices come in various forms, such as powders, liquids, gums, oils, pastes, and seeds. They can also be called condiments or flavours.
A great way to spice up your meals is to add some variety. Many spices can be added for additional flavor and excitement.
Perhaps a little hot pepper sauce will enhance the flavor of your soup. Perhaps you can add some cayenne peppers to your cup of rice.
You can experiment with spice recipes best if you use fresh ingredients. Organic herbs are better than dried herbs. Fresh herbs last longer than dried.
While some spices are essential for cooking, others might be better to avoid. Cinnamon sticks are high in coumarin so you should avoid them if your liver has been affected. Ginger also contains coumarin, but it's much less concentrated. It is safe for people without a history or liver disease.
Which Thai spice do I need to cook Thai food at home?
Five essential spices are required to create authentic Thai cuisine at home. These include black pepper, turmeric, coriander seed, coriander and cinnamon. Each ingredient is unique and plays an integral role in the creation of delicious dishes.
Black pepper enhances the savoury flavors of curry powder, while cinnamon gives it sweetness. Curry powder gets its yellow hue from turmeric and coriander seeds. Cayenne peppers heat up the dish, while cilantro adds flavor and freshness. Finally, cinnamon can add depth and complexity in any dish.
You can buy each of these spices in your local grocery shop, or you can order them online.
How to store your spices?
Keep them in an airtight container away from light and heat.
For longer storage, store spices in a dark cabinet. This will help keep them fresh and prevent any deterioration due to oxidation.
Store your spices in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. A heater or window can cause the spice to lose its aroma and flavour.
Spices are best stored in an airtight glass jar or tin. Avoid storing spices in plastic containers.
It is vital to always check the seal after opening, resealing and before storing.
You don't have to throw out leftover spices. Instead, use them up by adding them to other dishes. To extend their shelf life, you can freeze them.
Statistics
- It has been estimated that around 1,000 tons of pepper and 1,000 tons of other common spices were imported into Western Europe each year during the Late Middle Ages. (en.wikipedia.org)
- According to the McCormick Science Institute, indigenous Indian spices were cultivated as early as the 8th century BC in the gardens of Babylon. (spicecravings.com)
- According to a recent survey, professional chefs and many home cooks use spices; usage has only continued to grow from 2011 to now. (hospitalityinsights.ehl.edu)

How To
How do you decide which spices to purchase?
It is important to know how you can choose the right spices and herbs to cook. There are hundreds of choices, so where can you start when choosing which spices to add to your kitchen?
When selecting spices, you need to be aware of three key factors: cost, shelf life, flavour, and cost. There are many flavour profiles that can be used depending on how you cook meat, poultry, fish and vegetables as well as beans, grains, pastas, eggs, bread, cakes, and other foods. You'll need to narrow your choices once you've chosen a category.
There are many factors that affect shelf life. Some spices keep forever, while some others are prone to deterioration quickly. Cayenne pepper, for example, can last years while oregano, on the other hand, loses its potency within two months. Price is another important factor. Prices for spices range from $1 per teaspoon to more than $100 an ounce. This means you need to balance quality and price.
Also, you will need to choose whether organic or non-organic ingredients are more appealing. Organic products are less chemically and pesticide-laden than other alternatives. They are better for your environment and health. However, they often cost more, so you'll need to weigh those costs against the benefits.
The best way to get the perfect spices for your home is to shop online. Online retailers provide detailed information on each product, including ingredient lists, pricing, reviews, and ratings.
Once you've narrowed down the list, it's possible to order directly from the retailer. Once you receive your items, store them safely in airtight containers away from heat and light.
