Almond Flour and Almond Meal: What is the Difference?
A almond meal is a versatile almond flour alternative that can be used to bake, cook, or even make nut-free dishes.
Almond flour can also be gluten-containing, which can make it difficult to digest. It's important to avoid gluten-free diets if your condition is celiac.
Although almond flour isn’t considered to be a “superfood”, it is rich in healthy fats and fibre.
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 of almonds. Almond oil is made from polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, fatty oils. Both types help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels.
Almond flour is high in antioxidants including phenolics, flavonoids, and proanthocyanidins. These compounds prevent free radical-induced oxidative stress.
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 is usually sold alongside almond milk, fortified with additional nutrients.
How to Store Spices
Keep them in an airtight container away from light and heat.
If you want to keep spices fresh for a long time, place them into a dark cupboard. This will ensure that they stay fresh and prevent any possible oxidation.
Your spices should be kept in cool and dry areas, away from direct sunlight. If the spice is placed near a heater or window, it may lose its flavour and aroma.
Spices can be best kept in an airtight container or tin. You should ensure that the containers are not moistened if you store them in plastic containers.
As humidity can cause mold growth, it is important to check the seal before opening or resealing.
If you have leftover spices, don't throw them away. Instead, use them up by adding them to other dishes. They can be frozen to prolong their shelf-life.
What's the difference between cooking whole and with ground spices? Ground Spices?
There is no difference between cooking whole spices and with ground spices. After harvesting, all spices are ground. There is no quality difference.
However, this price differential is quite significant. Whole spices can be more expensive due to the labor involved in their processing. However, the flavor is worth it.
Bulk purchases of whole spices can often get you additional discounts. You might get a discount if your entire bag is of cinnamon sticks.
The same is true for nutmeg cloves ginger, cardamom, and ginger. You may be able save money if you buy these spices in bulk.
Ground spices last much longer than whole spices. This is because ground spices lose their potency quickly due to oxidation.
However, the main reason we recommend whole spices is because they add character to recipes.
A delicious curry can be made with whole turmeric as opposed to ground turmeric. You can also grind whole coriander leaves to make a spice mix for chicken dishes.
Also, grinding spices takes time. When you buy whole spices, it makes sense to buy a large quantity. You won't run low on spices if you buy large quantities.
What are the best Thai spices to use?
The best Thai spices include lemongrass, galangal, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and ginger. Some other good spices include cayenne pepper, clove, cardamom, black peppercorn, fennel seeds, star anise, and cloves.
Rose petals, bay, pandan leaves (curry leaves), curry leaves; pandan leaves; kaffir lime leaf leaves; vanilla beans; tamarind pods; lemon grass, basil, and mine are some other valuable spices.
