What is Thai spice used for?
Everyone has heard the term Thai spice, but not all know what it is. It makes our mouths water when we try it.
But it isn't just any old spice. It's an ingredient that can add flavor and depth in dishes that otherwise would be bland.
While there are thousands of Thai-inspired recipes out there, few of them contain the real thing. 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 is the Sanskrit word that means "to cook".
Thais are still fond of spicy foods. This preference is often explained by the hot climate in Thailand that makes it difficult to stay warm while drinking hot drinks. Thais consume more chili peppers than Americans and Europeans.
Visit a local Asian grocery shop to find out more about Thai spices. There are many options available, including dried chilies as well as fresh basil leaves and curry paste.
Whole peppercorns, whole cloves, cinnamon sticks and star anise may also be found.
Thai cuisine can use either dry or wet spices. The dry spices are usually ground while the wet spices are crushed or pounded finely.
Dry spices are often added to a dish directly. You can sprinkle ground red pepper on your chicken soup. Wet spices are commonly mixed with oil or butter to form 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.
You need to be able to match certain spices with Thai ingredients if you wish to make Thai food at home.
Red pepper flakes should be used if you're using beef. Use white pepper if you are using seafood like shrimp.
Finally, you can always order online if you don't have access to a good quality Asian market. 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.

What are the seven Indian spices?
Indian spices is a collection Indian spices. They are usually made up of cardamoms, cumins, corianders, turmeric and fenugreek. The spices are used to enhance the flavour and aroma of foods by combining and complementing natural ingredients, such as meats or vegetables. These spices combine to create distinctive flavour profiles which are the hallmark of Indian cooking.
Cardamom is sweet and pungent with hints ginger and citrus. It is used often to flavor curries and rice dishes such as biryani. Cumin has a strong, earthy aroma as well as a rich and nuanced flavor. It is used to spice up curries, dals and meat dishes. Coriander gives dishes a mild nuttiness due to its sweet citrus aroma. It is often used to season vegetables and lentils.
Turmeric has an earthy flavour with mustard, spices, and pepper hints. This spice is used in curries and other dishes. It has a golden color. Fenugreek's aroma is rich and has earthy tones. It is often used in seasoning meat dishes like kebabs, curries, and kebabs. Ginger is spicy and pungent, with hints citrus. It can be used to spice up soups, curries and chutneys. Asafoetida, or hing, has a pungent aroma and strong flavor. It can be substituted for onion and garlic in some recipes.
These spices combine to create unique flavours that make Indian cuisine so distinctive.
What is the difference between cooking Whole and Ground Spices? Ground Spices?
There are no differences between cooking with whole spices or ground spices. All spices are ground after harvesting. It doesn't make a difference in terms of quality.
The price difference is however significant. Whole spices are more expensive because of the labor required to process them. However, the flavor is worth it.
Bulk purchases of whole spices can often get you additional discounts. An example: If you buy an entire bag full of cinnamon sticks, you might get a discount.
The same goes for nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cardamom, etc. These spices can be purchased in bulk to save money.
Whole spices also last longer than ground spices. Ground spices quickly lose their potency due to oxidation.
But the main reason why we recommend purchasing whole spices is that they add a lot of character to recipes.
You can make a delicious curry by using whole turmeric in place of ground turmeric. Or you can grind whole coriander seeds to create a spice blend for chicken dishes.
Additionally, spices need to be ground. When you buy whole spices, it makes sense to buy a large quantity. So that you don’t run out of spices, it’s a smart move.
Almond Flour vs. Almond Meal: What's 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 can also be gluten-containing, which can make it difficult to digest. If you have celiac disease or another digestive disorder, it's essential to avoid gluten-free foods.
While almond flour isn't considered a "superfood" per se, it contains healthy fats, fibre, protein, and vitamin E. It's also low in calories and sodium and contains no cholesterol.
The almond meal provides nutritional benefits such as magnesium, iron, zinc and manganese. It also contains vitamin A, B1 (thiamin), C, and folate.
Almond flour is made from almonds and contains monounsaturated fat acids. Almond oil, however, contains polyunsaturated oils. Both can lower LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol.
Almond flour is also high in antioxidants, such as phenolics, flavonoids and proanthocyanidins. These compounds help to prevent oxidative damage from free radicals.
A study published in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry found that almond flour had antioxidant activity equivalent to that of blueberries, cranberries, pomegranates, and red wine grape juice.
Almond flour can be purchased with almond milk that has been supplemented with nutrients.

How To
How to store cooking spice?
How to store cooking spices in a way that maximizes their performance. First of all, we need to establish an understanding of the science behind the storage of foodstuffs.
Because light can diminish the flavour of spices, they should be kept in sealed containers. This is caused by oxidation, which happens when oxygen and organic compounds combine like spices.
To prevent oxidation, spices should be stored in dark cupboards. If these conditions are not met, spices will quickly lose their flavour.
Keep spices fresh by storing them in airtight jars out of direct sunlight.
To create a flavorful drink, you can add spices and herbs to water. Mix 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup of warm liquid and stir. Add a squeezed lemon juice and serve immediately.
Dried herbs and spices can be added to soups and stews, casseroles and rice dishes. Spread the spice mixture evenly onto the dish. Allow it to sit for between 5-10 minutes before serving.
As snacks, leftover cooked vegetables and fruits can be added into your favourite recipes.
To get the best flavours from fresh herbs and spices, cut them or tear them and add them to hot foods. Also, you can freeze herbs and spice by placing them into ice cube dishes or muffin cups. Once frozen, transfer to freezer bags or zip-top plastic bags.
