Frequently Asked Questions

Does Thai use ginger?

The answer is yes. Traditional Thai cooking makes extensive use of ginger. Ginger is often used to make stir-fries and soups. It is also used in desserts, drinks, such a lassis.

Ginger is a native of China, Japan, Korea and other Asian countries. Its origins go back over 5,000 years. It is believed that ginger originated in Southeast Asia where it was grown for medicinal purposes.

Ginger has been known to improve digestion and reduce nausea. It may even help prevent migraines. Ginger can also be used to treat arthritis, muscle spasms, joint pains, or relieve them.

Almond Flour and Almond Meal: What is the Difference?

An almond meal can be used as an alternative to almond flour. It can also be used in cooking and baking.

Almond flour can also contain gluten which makes it more difficult to digest. Gluten-free foods should be avoided if you have celiac Disease or any other digestive condition.

Almond flour isn’t considered a superfood per se but it does contain healthy fats, fibre and protein and no cholesterol.

The nutritional benefits of the almond meal include magnesium, copper, iron, zinc, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and vitamins A, B1 (thiamin), and C. In addition, it provides 25 percent of the daily value for folate, 20 percent for niacin, 15 percent for pantothenic acid, and 5 percent for riboflavin.

Almond flour is made from almonds and contains monounsaturated fat acids. Almond oil, however, contains polyunsaturated oils. Both help to lower LDL (bad), and increase HDL levels.

Almond flour is also high in antioxidants, such as phenolics, flavonoids and proanthocyanidins. These compounds are effective in preventing oxidative damages caused by free radicals.

The Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry published a study that found almond flour to have the same antioxidant activity as blueberries, cranberries and pomegranates.

Almond flour is usually sold alongside almond milk, fortified with additional 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 spices lose their flavour when exposed to the sun, they are best kept out of reach from light. This is due to oxygen combining with organic compounds, such as spices.

Spices should be kept in the dark cupboards and sealed tightly in airtight containers to prevent oxidation. These conditions can cause spices to quickly lose their flavor.

The best way to preserve the flavour of spices is to keep them in airtight jars away from direct sunlight.

To make flavoured drinks, you can add herbs or spices to water. For example, mix two teaspoons of ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup of warm water and stir well. Serve immediately by adding a squeeze lemon juice.

Dry herbs and spices can also be used in soups, stews or casseroles. Just sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the dish. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before you serve.

Leftover cooked vegetables, fruits and meats, as well as leftover cheese, breads, crackers, cookies or cakes can be added to favorite recipes for snacks.

If you want to take advantage of the flavours of fresh herbs and spices, chop or tear them up and add them to foods while they're still hot. You can freeze herbs or spices by placing them on ice cube tray or muffin cups. Once frozen, transfer to freezer bags or zip-top plastic bags.
