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, made from almonds contains monounsaturated and polyunsaturated oil. Both types reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol and increase HDL ("good") cholesterol.

Almond flour is high in antioxidants including phenolics, flavonoids, and proanthocyanidins. These compounds help to prevent oxidative damage from free radicals.

An experiment published in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry showed that almond flour has an equivalent antioxidant activity to that of blueberries.

Almond milk is often sold with almond flour, which has been fortified with additional nutrients.

What uses is Thai spice?

We've all heard the term "Thai spice" thrown around without knowing exactly what it means. It makes our mouths water when we try it.

It's much more than a spice. It's an ingredient that can add flavor and depth in dishes that otherwise would be bland.

Thousands of recipes call for Thai spices, but few of them include the real deal. Let's find out how to add these wonderful flavors to your dishes.

Thais have been using spices and herbs to flavor food and drinks since ancient times. The name Thai originates from the Sanskrit word for "to cook."

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 also consume more chili peppers per capita than Americans and Europeans.

The best way to learn about Thai spices is to visit a local Asian grocery store. There are many options available, including dried chilies as well as fresh basil leaves and curry paste.

You might also find whole peppercorns and cloves as well as cinnamon sticks, star anise pods (star anise), cardamom pods ginger root, cumin seeds coriander seeds seeds, fennel seed, nutmeg mace, mustard seeds, saffron threads garlic, onion, rice vinegar, and tamarind juice.

There are two types of spices in Thai cuisine: dry and wet. Wet spices are ground finely, while dry spices are typically ground.

Dry spices are typically added directly to a dish. For example, ground red pepper is sprinkled onto chicken soup. In order to make a paste out of wet spices, oil or butter is often used.

Wet spices can be used in sauces, dressings, and marinades. Some common wet spices include fish sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, curry paste, and hoisin sauce.

You need to be able to match certain spices with Thai ingredients if you wish to make Thai food at home.

Red pepper flakes can be used to season beef. Use white pepper instead if you have 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.

This Thai recipe will give you a kick next time your stomach gets rumbling.

How can I store my cooking spices?

To avoid oxidation, spice should be kept in dark cupboards. Spice tends to lose its flavour quickly if these conditions aren't met.

Keep spices in airtight containers away from direct sun to preserve their flavour.

You can add herbs and spices to water to make a flavoured drink. For example, you could mix 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon in 1/2 cup of warm milk and stir it well. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon.

Dried herbs can be added to soups stews, casseroles pasta dishes rice dishes salads and desserts. Simply sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the dish and sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.

You can add leftover cooked vegetables, fruits, meats and shellfish to your favorite recipes as snacks.

Fresh herbs and spices can be enjoyed by being chopped or broken up. You can also freeze herbs and spices by placing them in ice cube trays or muffin cups and freezing them. Once frozen transfer to zip-top plastic bags or freezer bags.
