Almond Flour and Almond Meal: What is the Difference?

As an almond flour alternative, an almond meal is more versatile because it can be used for baking, cooking, and even making nut-free dishes.

Almond flour can also contain gluten which makes it more difficult to digest. Avoid gluten-free food if you have celiac disease, or any other digestive disorder.

Almond flour isn’t considered a superfood per se but it does contain healthy fats, fibre and protein and no cholesterol.

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

Almond flour is high in antioxidants including phenolics, flavonoids, and proanthocyanidins. These compounds protect against free radical-induced oxidative harm.

What's the Difference Between Cooking With Whole vs. Ground Spices?

There is no difference between cooking whole spices and with ground spices. All spices are ground after harvesting. The quality is the same.

The price difference is however significant. Whole spices cost more because of the labour involved in processing them. But the flavour is worth it.

Buy whole spices and you'll often receive additional discounts. An example: If you buy an entire bag full of cinnamon sticks, you might get a discount.

The same applies to nutmeg and cloves, ginger or cardamom. These spices can be purchased in bulk to save money.

Ground spices last much longer than whole spices. Ground spices quickly lose their potency due to oxidation.

The main reason we recommend whole spices over dried is that they can add lots of flavor to recipes.

A delicious curry can be made with whole turmeric as opposed to ground turmeric. You can also use whole coriander to create a spice combination for chicken dishes.

The process of grinding spices takes a lot of time. If you're buying whole spices it makes sense for you to buy large quantities. So that you don’t run out of spices, it’s a smart move.

What's the importance of spices in your life?

A spice is an ingredient that adds flavor to food. Spices can be powdered, liquids or oils. They are also called condiments and flavours.

Spicing up dishes is a great way to add variety to meals. To add more flavour and excitement to dishes, many spices can be used.

It may be that adding a few drops to your bowl of soup makes it more flavorful. Mixing a couple of cayenne peppers in a cup rice can make it even more delicious.

Fresh ingredients are the best way to try new spicing techniques. If you buy dried herbs, look for those that are organic. Fresh herbs will last longer than dried.

Certain spices are essential in cooking. However, you may prefer to avoid some. Cinnamon sticks are high in coumarin so you should avoid them if your liver has been affected. Ginger also has coumarin, although it's less concentrated. It's safe for people who don't have a history of liver problems.

What are the main spices, condiments, seasonings and herbs used in Thai cuisine?

Thai cuisine is a combination of influences from all over Asia. It is rooted in India and China along with Southeast Asia.

Freshness is the most important ingredient in Thai food. You get more flavor if ingredients are picked in the early stages of cooking and then cooked quickly. This is the reason meat, fish, fruits and vegetables are often eaten raw.

Spices and sauces give dishes depth and color. Fresh basil, cilantro, mint, coriander (cilantro), lemongrass, ginger, turmeric, garlic, chillies, chilli paste, soy sauce, tamarind juice, oyster sauce, palm sugar, coconut milk, lime leaves, galangal root, curry powder, shrimp paste, fish sauce, tamarind water, rice vinegar, etc. These are often used.

How To

How to store cooking spice?

This article will show you how to store cooking spice for optimal performance. We must first understand the science behind food storage.

Because spice's flavour is diminished by light exposure, it should be stored in airtight containers. This is due to oxidation which occurs when oxygen combines with organic compounds such as those found in spices.

To prevent oxidation, spices should be stored in dark cupboards. Spice tends to lose its flavour quickly if these conditions aren't met.

Keep spices in airtight containers away from direct sun to preserve their flavour.

To make flavoured drinks, you can add herbs or spices to water. For example, you could mix 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon in 1/2 cup of warm milk and stir it well. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and serve immediately.

Dry herbs and spices can also be used in soups, stews or casseroles. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly on the dish, and let it sit for five to ten minutes before you serve.

Leftover cooked vegetables, fruits and meats, as well as leftover cheese, breads, crackers, cookies or cakes can be added to favorite recipes for snacks.

Fresh herbs and spices can be enjoyed by being chopped or broken up. It is also possible to freeze herbs and spices in muffin cups or ice cube trays. Transfer frozen items to zip-top or freezer bags.
