Frequently Asked Questions
What purpose is Thai spice used?
We all have heard the term Thai spices, but we don't understand what it really means. When we taste it, our mouths water and we wonder why we aren't eating more.
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.
Thousands of recipes call for Thai spices, but few of them include the real deal. Let's discuss how to incorporate these tasty flavors into your meals.
Thais have been cooking with herbs, spices and other flavors since ancient times. Thai derives its name from the Sanskrit phrase "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. Additionally, Thais consume much more chili peppers than Europeans or Americans.
You can learn the most about Thai spices by visiting a local Asian grocery. There will be a large selection of ingredients available including dried chilies (fresh basil leaves), curry paste, ground black pepper, and curry paste.
Also, you may find whole peppercorns.
Thai cuisine offers two types of spices: dry and moist. Most Thai cuisine uses dry spices, which are ground and pulverized finely.
Dry spices can be added to any dish. Ground red pepper can be sprinkled on chicken soup, for example. To make a paste, wet spices are often mixed with butter or oil.
Wet spices are usually used in marinades, sauces, and dressings. Fish sauce, oyster sauces, sesame and sesame olive oils, curry paste and hoisin are some of the most common wet spice options.
You need to be able to match certain spices with Thai ingredients if you wish to make Thai food at home.
For example, red pepper flakes is recommended for beef. If you use seafood like shrimp, you should use white pepper instead.
You can also order online if your Asian market is not available. This market has everything you need, including dried chilies as well as exotic herbs and spices.

How to Store Spices
Keep them out of the sun and heat.
You can store them for long periods in a dark cupboard. This will help keep them fresh and prevent any deterioration due to oxidation.
Keep spices dry and away from sunlight in a cool, dry place. You can lose the aroma and flavor of your spice if it is near a heater or window.
Spices need to be kept in an airtight glass container or tin. If you are storing your spices in plastic containers, ensure there is no moisture.
After opening the seal, make sure to inspect it again. Humidity can cause spoilage.
Don't throw out any spice leftovers. Use them instead by adding them into other dishes. You can even freeze them to extend their shelf life.
What is the difference between cooking Whole and Ground Spices? Ground Spices?
There are no significant differences in the cooking of whole and ground spices. After harvesting, all spices are ground. It doesn't make a difference in terms of quality.
However, this price differential is quite significant. Because of the labor involved in making whole spices, they cost more. But the taste is worth it.
Buy whole spices and you'll often receive 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 last much longer than whole spices. This is because ground spices lose their potency quickly due to oxidation.
The main reason we recommend whole spices over dried is that they can add lots of flavor to recipes.
You can make a delicious curry by using whole turmeric in place of ground turmeric. For chicken dishes, whole coriander seeds can be ground to make a spice blend.
Additionally, spices need to be ground. A large amount of whole spices is a good idea. That way, you won't run out of spices too fast.
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 may also contain gluten, making it difficult to digest. Avoid gluten-free food if you have celiac disease, or any other digestive disorder.
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 nutritional benefits of almond meal include magnesium and copper, iron and zinc, manganese as well as potassium and vitamin C.
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 protect against oxidative damage caused by 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 flour is usually sold alongside almond milk, fortified with additional nutrients.
What are the 11 spices of Indian cooking?
Indian cuisine is made up of eleven spices: coriander seeds; cumin seeds; fennel and mustard seeds; nigella and black pepper; cloves, cinnamon sticks; dry red chili powder; turmeric and cardamom.
These ingredients are used in almost every dish. These spices impart a distinct flavor to dishes such as curries (lentils), curries and chutneys. They also add a unique taste to rice, bread, and sweets.
For health reasons, spices are also beneficial. Turmeric, for example, is known to fight cancer cells. Bad breath is prevented by cloves. Black pepper reduces cholesterol levels. Cinnamon lowers blood pressure. And ginger aids digestion.
A spice rack makes a great kitchen tool. It allows you to experiment with many different combinations of flavours. You can make your spice mix or buy ready-made blends that contain many of the essential spices.
Some people are against adding spices to their food. They believe spices only mask natural flavor and do little to enhance them. There is nothing wrong with adding salt or pepper to enhance the flavor of your meals.
Most chefs agree that spices form an integral part of good culinary art. Without them, many dishes would be bland and tasteless. So next time you're feeling adventurous, why not try a new recipe and see what happens?

How To
How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms
So, the shiitakes are growing well. There is nothing wrong with them. However, how do you cut them without cutting yourself? We have tried everything, even using scissors. They keep falling out of our hands. What's going on here?
You have a trick. Use a rubber band to secure the stem of your mushroom. That way, you won't slip and cut yourself.
It may sound too simple. It is. But it's also very useful.
The rubber band makes stems slippery, making them feel more natural when picked up. You can also hold the stem tight.
Do it! It will be so much easier to cut mushrooms than ever before.
