Frequently Asked Questions
What purpose is Thai spice used?
It's a term we all have heard, even though we don't know what it actually means. We are left wondering why we don't eat more Thai spice when our mouths water.
It's not just any spice. It's an essential ingredient that adds flavor and depth to dishes that would otherwise be bland.
There are thousands of Thai recipes, but very few include the authentic flavor. Let's discuss how to incorporate these tasty flavors into your meals.
As far back as ancient times, Thais have been cooking with herbs and spices to add flavor to food and beverages. Thai comes from the Sanskrit term for "to prepare".
Today, Thais still love spicy food. This preference is often due to the heat in Thailand which makes it difficult for people to stay warm without hot drinks. Thais are also more likely to consume chili peppers as compared to Americans or Europeans.
A local Asian grocery store is the best place to learn more about Thai spice. There, you'll find a wide variety of ingredients, including dried chilies, fresh basil leaves, curry paste, and even ground black pepper.
You may also come across whole peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon sticks, star anise, cardamom pods, ginger root, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, nutmeg, mace, mustard seed, saffron threads, garlic, onion, rice vinegar and tamarind juice.
Thai cuisine uses both dry and wet spices. Most Thai cuisine uses dry spices, which are ground and pulverized finely.
Dry spices are typically added directly to a dish. For example, you can sprinkle ground red pepper onto your chicken soup. Mixing wet spices with oil or butter can create a paste.
Wet spices are often used in sauces, marinades, and dressings. Common wet spices include oyster sauce, fish sauce and sesame oils, curry paste, hoisin sauce, and sesame seed oil.
Thai cuisine can be made at home by learning which spices work well with specific ingredients.
Red pepper flakes should be used if you're using beef. If you use seafood like shrimp, you should use white pepper instead.
Finally, you can always order online if you don't have access to a good quality Asian market. You will find everything from dried chilies to exotic herbs and spices here.
These Thai recipes will make you hungry next time!
What's the difference of curry and curried
There is no difference in spelling. Both terms refer to the exact same thing: An Indian dish that combines meat and vegetables with different seasonings.
Curry is derived in Hindi from kari, which means to rub. This refers the way that the spice mix is applied onto the food. Curry foods are usually cooked until golden brown.
Curried dishes weren't always reserved for special occasions. Today, they can be enjoyed throughout India. They can be made with chicken, beef or lamb and include vegetables as well.
Curried dishes are typically served alongside plain white rice. You can also add raita (a yogurt sauce), or chutney (a sweet relish).
What's the Difference Between Cooking With Whole vs. Ground Spices?
There is no difference in cooking with whole spices and cooked with ground spices. All spices are ground after harvesting. The quality is the same.
However, the price differences are significant. Whole spices can be more expensive due to the labor involved in their processing. The flavor is well worth the effort.
Bulk purchases of whole spices can often get you additional discounts. A whole bag of cinnamon sticks might be eligible for a discount.
The same goes for nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cardamom, etc. You might be able to save money by buying these spices in bulk.
Ground spices are also more durable 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.
Whole turmeric can be used to make delicious curry. 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. So that you don’t run out of spices, it’s a smart move.

Almond Flour and Almond Meal: What is the Difference?
Almond meal can be substituted for almond flour and is versatile enough to be used in baking, cooking and even making nut-free meals.
Almond flour may also contain gluten, making it difficult to digest. It is important to avoid gluten-free products if you have celiac or other digestive disorders.
Although almond flour isn’t considered to be a “superfood”, it is rich in healthy fats and fibre.
Almond meal has many nutritional benefits, including magnesium, copper and zinc as well as manganese and potassium.
Almond flour is made from almonds and contains monounsaturated fat acids. Almond oil, however, contains polyunsaturated oils. Both types reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol and increase HDL ("good") cholesterol.
Almond flour is also rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids and phenolics. These compounds protect against free radical-induced oxidative harm.
In a study published in Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry, almond flour was found to have an antioxidant activity comparable to blueberries, cranberries or pomegranates and red wine grapes juice.
Almond flour is typically sold along with almond milk, which is fortified to add additional nutrients.
What are the main Flavours of Thai Cooking?
Thai cuisine includes several distinct regional cuisines. These include Northern, Central and Southern Thai food. Each region has its distinctive flavour profile.
Thai food has many common flavors, including sweet, salty.
Thais love sweetness because it makes their dishes more delicious. Thai cuisine is rich in sweet ingredients like coconut milk and palm sugar (gula melanka).
Thailand's most popular food is sourness. Hot dishes often pair well with sour foods. This combination balances out the heat.
Spicy food is another crucial ingredient in Thai food. Thai dishes often use spices such as chili pepper, galangal or ginger root.

How To
How to choose the right spices?
You need to be able to select the right herbs and spices to use in your cooking. There are hundreds of options, so where do you begin when deciding which ones to add to your pantry?
When choosing spices, there are three things you should consider: the flavour profile, shelf-life, and cost. You can choose to use different flavour profiles depending on whether your cooking involves meat, poultry or fish, vegetables and pasta. Once you have chosen a category, you can narrow down your choices by taking into account these differences.
There are many factors that affect shelf life. Some spices last forever, while others expire quickly. Cayenne pepper has a long shelf life, while oregano is only good for two months. There's also the cost. The price of spices can vary from $1 per tablespoon to over $100 per ounce. This means you need to balance quality and price.
Also, consider whether organic or not organic ingredients. Organic products contain fewer chemicals and pesticides than conventional alternatives, making them better for your health and the environment. They can be more expensive, so it's important to weigh the costs and 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.
Once you've narrowed down the list, it's possible to order directly from the retailer. When you have received your items, make sure to keep them in an airtight container.
