How to Store Spices

Keep them away from heat and light.

Place them in a dark cupboard to store spices for extended periods. This will keep the spices fresh and prevent any oxidation.

Keep spices away from direct sunlight in a dry, cool place. You can lose the aroma and flavor of your spice if it is near a heater or window.

Spices should be stored in an airtight tin or glass jar. You should ensure that the containers are not moistened if you store them in plastic containers.

As humidity can cause mold growth, it is important to check the seal before opening or resealing.

Do not throw away any spices that you have left over. You can make use of them by adding them to your favorite dishes. For an extended shelf life, you can freeze the vegetables.

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

Thai cuisine is an amalgamation of influences from across Asia. Its roots are in India and China as well as 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 why meats, fish, vegetables and fruits are often eaten raw and hot.

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. are commonly used.

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

There are no differences between cooking with whole spices or ground spices. All spices can be ground once they have been harvested. This ensures that there are no differences in the quality of spices.

The price difference is however significant. Whole spices are more expensive due to the labour required for processing them. However, the flavor is worth it.

Buy whole spices and you'll often receive additional discounts. A whole bag of cinnamon sticks might be eligible for a discount.

The same is true for nutmeg cloves ginger, cardamom, and ginger. You might be able to save money by buying these spices in bulk.

Whole spices can also last longer than the ground spices. Ground spices quickly lose their potency due to oxidation.

Whole spices are a great way to add personality and flavor to your recipe.

You can make a delicious curry by using whole turmeric in place of ground turmeric. For chicken dishes, whole coriander seeds can be ground to make a spice blend.

Grinding spices takes 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.

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 factors are important to consider when choosing spices. They are the taste profile, shelf live, and price. 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. Once you've settled on a category, it's time to narrow down your choices.

You will also find that shelf lives can vary. Some spices will last forever, others may expire very quickly. For example, cayenne pepper is good for years and oregano lasts only 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 that you will need to strike a balance between quality and value.

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. However, they often cost more, so you'll need to weigh those costs against the benefits.

Online shopping is the best option to find the right spices. Online retailers offer detailed information about each product, including reviews, pricing, ratings, and ingredient lists.

After narrowing down your options, you can place an order directly with the retailer. You should store your items in airtight containers, away from heat and sunlight once you receive them.
