Frequently Asked Questions

Almond Flour vs. Almond Meal: What's the Difference?

An almond meal, which can be used as an almond flour substitute, is more versatile than other almond flours because it can be used for baking and cooking, as well as making nut free dishes.

Almond flour can also be gluten-containing, which can make 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.

The almond meal offers many nutritional benefits including iron, magnesium, zinc, manganese (thiamin), calcium, vitamin A, B1 and Vitamin C.

Almond flour is made with almonds. Almond oils contain polyunsaturated essential fatty acids. Both types reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol and increase HDL ("good") cholesterol.

In addition, almond flour is rich in antioxidants, including flavonoids, phenolics, and proanthocyanidins. These compounds protect against oxidative damage caused by free radicals.

A study published in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry found that almond flour had antioxidant activity equivalent to that of blueberries, cranberries, pomegranates, and red wine grape juice.

Almond flour is usually sold alongside almond milk, fortified with additional nutrients.

What are the 11 Indian spices?

Coriander seeds and cumin seeds are the eleven main spices in Indian cuisine.

These ingredients can be found used in almost every recipe. These spices add a unique flavor to dishes like curries, chutneys and pickles, rice, bread, and desserts.

Also, spices have many health benefits. To fight cancer cells, turmeric is an example. Cloves help protect against bad breath. Black pepper reduces cholesterol levels. Cinnamon lowers blood pressure. And ginger aids digestion.

A spice rack is a fantastic kitchen tool that allows you experiment with different combinations. You can mix your own spices or purchase ready-made spice mixes that include many essential spices.

Some people choose not to add spice to their food. Some people believe spices can only mask the natural flavor of food and don't improve it. A pinch of salt or pepper will not harm your dishes.

Most chefs agree spices are essential to culinary art. Many dishes would taste bland and boring without spices. Try a new recipe next time you feel adventurous.

What mint is used for Thai food?

The most common type of mint used in Thai cuisine is lime-leaf mint (Mentha Cervina).

It has a mild, lemony flavour that adds freshness and zing to dishes. To enhance Thai cuisine's flavour, other spices like galangal, coriander, lemongrass and garlic are often added.

Mint is versatile and can be used both in sweet and savoury recipes. You can create authentic Thai flavours by choosing the right herbs, spices, and aromatics.

If you're making Thai dishes, be sure to include lime-leaf fresh mint!

Happy cooking!

How To

How do you store your cooking spices?

Here's how to store your cooking spices for maximum performance. We must first understand the science behind food storage.

Because spices lose their flavour when exposed to the sun, they are best kept out of reach from light. This is because oxygen reacts with organic compounds like those in spices to cause oxidation.

To avoid oxidation, spices must be kept in dark cupboards. Spice tends to lose its flavour quickly if these conditions aren't met.

It is the best way to preserve spices' flavours by keeping them out of direct sunlight.

You can add herbs and spices to water to make a flavoured drink. Mix 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup of warm liquid and stir. Serve immediately by adding a squeeze lemon juice.

Dry herbs and spices can also be used in soups, stews or casseroles. Spread the spice mixture evenly onto the dish. Allow it to sit for between 5-10 minutes before serving.

As snacks, leftover cooked vegetables and fruits can be added into your favourite recipes.

To get the best flavours from fresh herbs and spices, cut them or tear them and add them to hot foods. You can freeze herbs or spices by placing them on ice cube tray or muffin cups. Transfer frozen items to zip-top or freezer bags.
