Frequently Asked Questions
What is the value of spices?
Spices are seasonings that enhance the flavour of food. Spices come in various forms, such as powders, liquids, gums, oils, pastes, and seeds. They are also known as condiments and flavours.
A great way to spice up your meals is to add some variety. For extra flavor and excitement, you can add many spices to your dishes.
You may find that adding a few drops of hot pepper sauce to a bowl of soup will make it taste more delicious. Or perhaps you could mix a handful of cayenne peppers with a cup of rice.
Fresh ingredients are the best way to try new spicing techniques. When you are buying dried herbs, make sure they are organic. Fresh herbs are more durable than dried herbs.
Although some spices are essential to cooking, there are others that you might prefer not to use. Cinnamon sticks contain high amounts of coumarin, so they should not be eaten if you have a history of liver disease. Although ginger also contains coumarin it is much less concentrated. It's safe for those without any history of liver problems.
Does Thai use ginger?
Yes. In traditional Thai cuisine, ginger is used extensively. It is commonly added to stir-fries or soups. Ginger is also used in desserts such as lassis.
Ginger is native to China, Japan, and Korea, and its origins date back more than 5,000 years. It is believed that ginger originated in Southeast Asia where it was grown for medicinal purposes.
Ginger is known to stimulate digestion and relieve 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.
What are the 7 Indian spices you use?

Fenugreek is used to season meat dishes such as kebabs or curries. Ginger is pungent and spicy with hints of citrus. It can be used to spice up soups, curries and chutneys.

How do I make Thai food at home using Thai spices?
In order to cook authentic Thai food at home you will need five spices: black pepper (cayenne), coriander seeds (coriander seeds), turmeric and cinnamon. Each ingredient has its own unique flavour profile, and each plays an important role in creating delicious dishes.
Black pepper enhances the savoury flavors of curry powder, while cinnamon gives it sweetness. Curry powder is given its characteristic yellow colour by turmeric and coriander seed.

How To
How to choose which spices to buy
Cooking requires you to learn how to choose the right herbs for your recipes. There are hundreds of options, so where do you begin when deciding which ones to add to your pantry?
Three factors are important to consider when choosing spices. They are the taste profile, shelf live, and price. You can choose to use different flavour profiles depending on whether your cooking involves meat, poultry or fish, vegetables and pasta. So once you've decided on a category, you'll need to narrow down your choices based on these differences.
The shelf life of spices can also vary. Some spices can last forever while others go bad quickly. Cayenne pepper has a long shelf life, while oregano is only good for two months. Also, the price. Spices can cost anywhere from $1 per tablespoon up to $100 per ounce. This means you'll need to find a balance between value and quality.
It is also important to decide if you prefer organic ingredients or not. Organic products use fewer pesticides, chemicals, and other harmful substances than traditional alternatives. This makes them safer for you and the environment. But they can often be more expensive so make sure you weigh the benefits against their costs.
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. Once you receive your items, store them safely in airtight containers away from heat and light.
