Blog Title: How to Keep Your Spices Fresh - Jars vs Indian Spice Boxes
Blog Introduction: When it comes to spices, there are a few things you need to know in order to keep them fresh. Spices go bad relatively quickly if they are not stored properly, so it is important to take the necessary steps to keep them fresh for as long as possible. There are two popular methods for storing spices - using jars or using Indian spice boxes. So, which is the best way to keep your spices fresh? Let's take a look at both methods and find out!

Jars: Pros and Cons
Jars are one of the most popular methods for storing spices. They are airtight and can protect your spices from moisture, light, and other elements that can cause them to go bad. The main downside of using jars is that they can be bulky and take up a lot of space. If you have a small kitchen, then you might not have enough space to store all of your spices in jars.
Spice jars are one of the most popular methods for storing spices. They are airtight and can protect your spices from moisture, light, and other elements that can cause them to go bad. The main downside of using jars is that they can be bulky and take up a lot of space. If you have a small kitchen, then you might not have enough space to store all of your spices in jars.
Another downside of using spice jars is that it can be difficult to see what spices you have and how much of each spice you have left. This can make it difficult to know when you need to restock your spices. Overall, spice jars are a great option for storing spices, but they do have some drawbacks that
Indian Spice Boxes: Pros and Cons
Indian spice boxes are another popular method for storing spices. They are typically made of wood or metal and have multiple compartments for storing different spices. This can be helpful if you use a lot of different spices in your cooking. The main downside of using an Indian spice box is that it is not airtight, so your spices might not stay fresh for as long as they would if they were stored in jars.

Indian spice boxes are another popular method for storing spices. They are typically made of wood or metal and have multiple compartments for storing different spices. This can be helpful if you use a lot of different spices in your cooking. The main downside of using an Indian spice box is that it is not airtight, so your spices might not stay fresh for as long as they would if they were stored in jars.
One way to prolong the freshness of your spices when using an Indian spice box is to store them in small zip-top bags inside the individual compartments. This will help to keep the air out and prevent your spices from going bad as quickly. Another option is to invest in a good quality spice box that has an airtight seal. This will help to keep your spices fresh for a longer period of time.
Conclusion:
So, which method is better - jars or Indian spice boxes? Ultimately, it depends on your personal preferences. If you value convenience and portability, then jars might be the better option for you. If you prefer having all of your spices sorted and organized, then an Indian spice box might be the better option. Whichever method you choose, just make sure to take proper care of your spices so that they will last as long as possible!
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between curried and curry?
There is no difference in spelling. Both words mean the same thing: Indian cuisine that includes meat and vegetables mixed with different seasonings.
Curry is derived from the Hindi word kari, which means "to rub". This refers to the way the spice mixture is applied to the food. Curry is typically prepared until the food is golden brown.
Curried dishes were once reserved for special occasions, but today, they're enjoyed frequently throughout India. They can include chicken, beef, lamb, fish, vegetables, and rice.
Curried dishes can be served alongside plain white or brown rice. The most common accompaniments are raita (a yogurt paste) and chutney.
What are the 11 Indian spices?
Indian cuisine includes eleven spices, including cumin, coriander, cumin, mustard, fennel, and nigella seed, as well as black pepper, cloves and cinnamon sticks, dry red chill powder, turmeric, cardamom, and black pepper.
These ingredients can be found used in almost every recipe. These spices impart a distinct flavor to dishes such as curries (lentils), curries and chutneys. They also add a unique taste to rice, bread, and sweets.
Also, spices have many health benefits. One example is turmeric, which helps fight cancer cells. Bad breath is prevented by cloves. Black pepper reduces cholesterol levels. Cinnamon lowers blood pressure. And ginger aids digestion.
The spice rack is an excellent kitchen tool as it allows you to experiment and create new combinations of flavors. You can either make your own spice blends or purchase ready-made spices.
Some people choose not to add spice to their food. They believe that spices only mask natural flavors and do nothing to improve them. However, adding a pinch of salt or pepper is no harm in enhancing the flavor of your meals.
Most chefs agree that spices form an integral part of good culinary art. Many dishes would taste bland and boring without spices. Try a new recipe next time you feel adventurous.
Almond Flour vs. Almond Meal. What's The Difference?
An almond meal can be used as an alternative to almond flour. It can also be used in cooking and baking.
Almond flour may also contain gluten, making it difficult to digest. Avoid gluten-free food if you have celiac disease, or any other digestive disorder.
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.
Because it's made from almonds, almond flour contains monounsaturated fatty acids, while almond oil contains polyunsaturated fatty acids. Both can lower LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol.
Almond flour is also rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids and phenolics. These compounds protect against free radical-induced oxidative harm.
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 commonly sold together with almondmilk, which has additional nutrients.

How To
How to Make a Garlic Pressure?
A garlic presse is an indispensable tool for home chefs. It allows you to efficiently mince garlic into a paste or puree it into a smooth sauce, soup, or salad dressing. You can also crush whole garlic cloves to make buttery spreads or garlic seasonings.
It's possible to be confused if you don’t yet own a garlicpress. These tips will help you get started.
First things first: you'll need a large bowl. Place the bowl below the press and pour in the crushed garlic. Now, adjust the pressure regulator valve until it reaches maximum.
Next, rotate the handle clockwise until it clicks. The top end of the press should lift and reveal a flat area that allows you to slide your blade back and forth across the bowl. Continue to turn the handle counterclockwise, until the blades are closed.
Finally, take out the pressed ginger and enjoy!
Here are some other ways to use this versatile tool:
- Make minced garlic soups, sauces for salads, dips and seasonings.
- You can crush whole garlic cloves using the press to make a buttery spread
- Crush whole cloves of garlic onto pizza dough before baking
- Roasted garlic can be incorporated into creamy polenta or mashed potatoes.
- Use the press to mash garlic into homemade pesto
- Puree garlic into a smooth vinaigrette
