Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between cooking whole and with ground spices? Ground Spices?
There are no differences between cooking with whole spices or ground spices. After harvesting, all spices are ground. There is no quality difference.
However, this price differential is quite significant. Whole spices can be more expensive due to the labor involved in their processing. But the taste is worth it.
When you buy bulk spices, you may get additional discounts. You might get a discount if your entire bag is of cinnamon sticks.
This is true for cloves, ginger and cardamom. This can help you save money on spices if you buy them in bulk.
Whole spices also last longer than ground spices. Ground spices lose their potency very quickly due to oxidation.
However, the main reason we recommend whole spices is because they add character to recipes.
Whole turmeric can be used to make delicious curry. You can also grind whole coriander leaves to make a spice mix for chicken dishes.
It takes time to grind spices. If you're buying whole spices it makes sense for you to buy large quantities. That way, you won't run out of spices too fast.

How To
How to decide what spices to buy?
Knowing how to choose the best herbs and spices for your dishes is essential to being a good cook. There are hundreds of choices, so where can you start when choosing which spices to add to your kitchen?
Three main factors should be considered when selecting spices: price, shelf life and flavour profile. 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. So once you've decided on a category, you'll need to narrow down your choices based on these differences.
The shelf life of spices can also vary. Some spices last forever, while others expire quickly. Cayenne pepper has a long shelf life, while oregano is only good for two months. Then there's the price. Spices are available in a range of prices, from $1 per tablespoon to more expensive than $100 per an ounce. This means you have to strike the right balance between quality and cost.
Also, consider whether organic or not organic ingredients. Organic products use fewer pesticides, chemicals, and other harmful substances than traditional alternatives. This makes them safer for you and the environment. These products can also be more costly so make sure to weigh the benefits against the costs.
Shopping online is the best way to ensure you pick the right spices for your kitchen. Online retailers provide comprehensive information on every product, including pricing, reviews and ratings.
Once you've narrowed your list, you can order directly from the retailer. When you have received your items, make sure to keep them in an airtight container.
