Frequently Asked Questions
How to store your spices?
They should be kept out of direct sunlight and heat in an airtight container.

What is the difference between cooking with whole spices and using ground spices? Ground Spices?
There are no significant differences in the cooking of whole and ground spices. After harvesting, all spices are ground. This ensures that there are no differences in the quality of spices.
However, the price difference is substantial. Because of the labor involved in making whole spices, they cost more. But the taste is worth it.

Ground spices are also more durable than whole spices. Ground spices lose their potency rapidly due to oxygenation.
Whole spices are a great way to add personality and flavor to your recipe.

Almond Flour vs. Almond Meal. What's The Difference?
An almond meal, which can be used as an almond flour substitute, is more versatile than other almond flours because it can be used for baking and cooking, as well as making nut free dishes.
Almond flour could also contain gluten making it difficult for some people to digest. Gluten-free foods should be avoided if you have celiac Disease or any other digestive condition.
Almond flour may not be considered a "superfood", per se, but it contains healthy fats as well as fibre, protein and vitamin E.
The almond meal offers many nutritional benefits including iron, magnesium, zinc, manganese (thiamin), calcium, vitamin A, B1 and Vitamin C.
Almond flour is made of almonds. Almond oil is made from polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, fatty oils. Both help to lower LDL (bad), and increase HDL levels.
Almond flour is high in antioxidants including phenolics, flavonoids, and proanthocyanidins. These compounds prevent free radical-induced oxidative stress.
An experiment published in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry showed that almond flour has an equivalent antioxidant activity to that of blueberries.
Almond flour is usually sold alongside almond milk, fortified with additional nutrients.
What is Thai spice used for?
Everyone has heard the term Thai spice, but not all know what it is. But once we start to feel the heat in our mouths, we wonder why it hasn't been eaten more.
It's much more than a spice. It's an essential ingredient that adds flavor and depth to dishes that would otherwise be bland.
Thousands of recipes call for Thai spices, but few of them include the real deal. Let's talk about how to make sure you add these amazing flavors to your meals.
Thais have been using herbs and spices in their cooking since antiquity to add flavor to food. Thai is the Sanskrit word that means "to cook".
Most Thais like spicy food, even today. This preference can be attributed to Thailand’s hot weather. It is difficult to stay warm when you don't have something to drink. Thais are also more likely to consume chili peppers as compared to Americans or Europeans.
It is a great way to learn more about Thai spices. You'll find many ingredients there, including fresh basil leaves, dried chilies and curry paste.
You may also find whole peppercorns.
Thai cuisine uses both dry and wet spices. Most Thai cuisine uses dry spices, which are ground and pulverized finely.
Dry spices are added directly to a dish. For example, ground red pepper is sprinkled onto chicken soup. Mixing wet spices with oil or butter can create a paste.
Wet spices are used in dressings, sauces and marinades. Common wet spices include oyster sauce, fish sauce and sesame oils, curry paste, hoisin sauce, and sesame seed oil.
To make Thai food at your home, it is important to understand which spices are best with particular ingredients.
For example, red pepper flakes is recommended for beef. White pepper is better for seafood such as shrimp.
If you don't live near an Asian market, you can order online. Here you will find everything, from dried chilies and exotic herbs to spices.

How To
How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms
The shiitakes are doing well. There's nothing wrong with them. But how do we cut them without cutting ourselves? We have tried every method, including using scissors. They keep falling out of our hands. What's the problem?
Well, there's a trick for that. To make the mushroom stem stick out, wrap a rubber band around it and twist it tightly. You won't slip, and you won't be cut.
You may think it sounds too easy. It is. But it's also very useful.
The rubber band makes stems slippery, making them feel more natural when picked up. The stem can be held securely.
Go ahead, try it. You will be amazed at the ease with which you can now cut mushrooms.
