Frequently Asked Questions

How to store your spices?

Keep them out of the sun and heat.

To store spices for longer periods of time, place them in a dark cupboard. This will help preserve the spices and prevent oxidation.

Store your spices in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. If the spice is placed near a heater or window, it may lose its flavour and aroma.

Spices work best in an airtight jar or tin. Avoid storing spices in plastic containers.

Check the seal every time you open and reseal it. Heat can cause moisture to spoil your product.

Don't throw out any spice leftovers. Make sure to use leftover spices in other recipes. For an extended shelf life, you can freeze the vegetables.

What Thai spice will I need to make Thai food home?

To make authentic Thai food at home, you'll need to master five essential spices: black pepper, cayenne, coriander seeds, turmeric, and cinnamon. Each ingredient has a unique flavor profile and plays an essential role in creating delicious dishes.

Cinnamon adds sweetness, while black pepper brings out savoury flavours. Coriander seeds add a spicy kick, while turmeric gives curry powder its signature yellow colour. Cayenne peppers heat up the dish, while cilantro adds flavor and freshness. The final touch is cinnamon which gives depth and complexity to any dish.

These spices are available at most grocery stores. However, if you prefer to order them online, we have recommendations.

Can you add spice into a drink

I love the way spices add flavour to food. How can you make spices come to life when they are used in drinks?

Spices are wonderful because they can add depth and flavor to any beverage. A dash of cinnamon and nutmeg can make any beverage more delicious, including coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and cocktails.

Most recipes call for ground spices. This means that you'll need fresh whole spice. This makes sense, but it is expensive, takes time, and requires storage space.

Here's where the magic happens. It's possible to transform your favorite spices into a powdered form that is easy to use with a bit of creativity. To make tasty spiced drinks, you can combine them with your favourite beverages.

There are two methods to make these powders. One method involves grinding whole spices into fine powder. A mortar and pestle is another method to grind the spices to a finer consistency.

You'll find it easier to make powder than whole spices, regardless of the method. Powder keeps well, so you will never run out.

You can experiment with mixing spices to create different flavours. For minty water you could mix spearmint with peppermint leaves. To make spicy ginger tea, you can also combine ginger and cardamom pods.

Once you've mastered making powdered spices, you can apply the same technique to herbs. Basil, rosemary, thyme and sage are some of the most popular herbs.

The possibilities are endless. Powdered spices can be used to add flavour to beverages or enhance the flavor of dishes like soups, salads and pasta.

What's the difference in cooking with whole vs. ground spices? Ground Spices?

There are no significant differences in the cooking of whole and ground spices. After harvesting, spices are ground. So there is no difference in quality.

The price difference is however significant. Whole spices can be more expensive due to the labor involved in their processing. But the flavour is well worth it.

You'll often find extra discounts for bulk purchases when you buy whole spices. An example: If you buy an entire bag full of cinnamon sticks, you might get a discount.

This is true for cloves, ginger and cardamom. These spices can be purchased in bulk to save money.

Ground spices last much longer than whole spices. Because ground spices lose potency quickly from oxidation, this is why whole spices last longer than ground spices.

But the main reason why we recommend purchasing whole spices is that they add a lot of character to recipes.

You can make delicious curry using whole turmeric, instead of ground turmeric. To make a spice mixture for chicken dishes, you can grind whole coriander seed.

The process of grinding spices takes a lot of time. It makes sense to purchase large quantities of whole spices when you are buying them. That way, you won't run out of spices too fast.

What are the most important flavours in Thai cuisine?

Thai cuisine includes several distinct regional cuisines. There are five main types of Thai cuisine: Northern, Central, Southern and Eastern. Each region has its own unique flavour profile.

The most common flavours in Thai food are sweet, salty, sour, spicy, bitter, pungent, and nutty.

Thais value sweetness as it makes the food more enjoyable. Thai cuisine is rich in sweet ingredients like coconut milk and palm sugar (gula melanka).

In Thailand, sourness is very popular. Hot dishes can often be paired with sour foods. This combination balances out the heat.

Thai food also includes spicy food. Thai dishes often use spices such as chili pepper, galangal or ginger root.

What is the most popular ingredient in Thai cooking?

Thailand's two main ingredients form the heart of all Thai dishes. They are rice and curry. These two ingredients combine to produce a unique flavor.

The combination is called "Khao Pad Krai" in Thailand. This means that when two simple foods are combined, they can become irresistible and delicious.

It's the same for your life. It is possible to achieve great success by combining the two key ingredients of hard work, perseverance, and determination.

Combining passion and purpose, as Khao Pad Krai has shown, can help you succeed. Combining them will produce something special.

If you find yourself craving Thai food, keep in mind that Thai food is more than rice and curry. You'll be amazed at how much fun you can have experimenting with different ingredients!
