Frequently Asked Questions
Almond Flour or Almond Meal? What is the difference?
A almond meal is a versatile almond flour alternative that can be used to bake, cook, or even make nut-free dishes.
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 may not be considered a "superfood", per se, but it contains healthy fats as well as fibre, protein and vitamin E.
The nutritional benefits of almond meal include magnesium and copper, iron and zinc, manganese as well as potassium and vitamin C.
Almond flour is made from almonds and contains monounsaturated fat acids. Almond oil, however, contains polyunsaturated oils. Both types help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels.
In addition, almond flour is rich in antioxidants, including flavonoids, phenolics, and proanthocyanidins. These compounds protect against oxidative damage caused by free radicals.
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.
Does Thai use ginger?
Yes. Traditional Thai cuisine uses ginger extensively. Ginger is often used in stir-fries and soups, as well as desserts and drinks, such as lassis.
Ginger is a native to China and Japan. The origins of ginger go back over 5,000 year. It is thought that it originated in Southeast Asia, where its medicinal uses were cultivated.
Ginger has been known to improve digestion and reduce nausea. It may even help prevent migraines. In addition, ginger aids in reducing muscle spasms, relieving joint pains, and treating arthritis.
Ginger is most often fresh in Thailand. Ginger root is first cut into thin strips before drying and stored. Ginger root can be purchased in cans or jars at Asian markets.
How to Store Spices
Keep them away from heat and light.
If you want to keep spices fresh for a long time, place them into a dark cupboard. This will preserve them and prevent any oxidation.
Store your spices in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. The spice may lose flavour and aroma if placed near a window or heater.
Spices need to be kept in an airtight glass container or tin. If storing in plastic containers, make sure there is no moisture inside the container.
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. You can make use of them by adding them to your favorite dishes. To extend their shelf life, you can freeze them.

How To
How do you make a garlic press?
A garlic press is one of the most valuable tools in any home cook's arsenal. It can be used to quickly mince garlic into a paste. You can also crush whole garlic cloves to make buttery spreads or garlic seasonings.
You might be wondering where to begin if you don’t have a garlic press. Here are some tips to get you started.
First things first: you'll need a large bowl. Place the bowl under the pressure regulator and pour the crushed garlic inside. Now, turn the pressure regulator to 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 the pressed garlic out and enjoy!
These are just a few of the many ways you can use this versatile tool.
- Use minced garlic in soups, sauces and salads as a seasoning or even as a garnish.
- The press can be used to crush whole garlic cloves and make buttery spread.
- Make pizza dough by crushing whole cloves.
- Roasted garlic can be incorporated into creamy polenta or mashed potatoes.
- Make pesto with garlic mashed in the press
- Puree garlic in a smooth vinaigrette
