Thai food uses paprika?

Yes. Yes.

Thai food, Mexican, Spanish or Indian cuisines, Thai food, Mexican, Spanish, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Thai, Greek, Turkish and Balkan cuisines all contain paprika.

Paprika can be traced back over 5,000 years ago to Ancient Greece. The Hungarian language, which means "pepper", is where the word "paprika" came from.

Can you put spice in a drink?

I love the way spices add flavour to food. How do you make spices alive in drinks?

Spices are great because they bring out the best in any beverage. From coffee to tea, hot chocolate to cocktails, there's nothing more satisfying than adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to a glass of wine or beer.

But most recipes call for ground spices, meaning you'll need fresh whole spices. While this makes sense, it is costly, takes time and requires storage space.

That's where the magic happens. With a little creativity, you can make your favorite spices easy to use in powdered form. These spices can be mixed into favorite beverages to create tasty spiced drinks.

These powders can be made in two ways. One way is to grind whole spices into fine powder. One method involves using a mortar-and-pestle to grind spices into a finer consistency.

It doesn't matter what method you choose, the result is easier to measure out than whole spices and easier to store. The powder is stable so you don't run low on stock.

You can experiment with mixing spices to create different flavours. For minty water you could mix spearmint with peppermint leaves. To make spicy ginger tea, you can also combine ginger and cardamom pods.

Once you've mastered making powdered spices, you can apply the same technique to herbs. Oregano and rosemary are all popular herbs.

There are so many possibilities. Powdered spices can be used to add flavour to beverages or enhance the flavor of dishes like soups, salads and pasta.

What's the Difference Between Cooking With Whole vs. Ground Spices?

There isn't any difference between cooking with whole spices and ground spices. All spices are ground after harvesting. So there is no difference in quality.

However, the price differences are significant. Whole spices are more expensive due to the labour required for processing them. However, the flavor is worth it.

Bulk purchases of whole spices can often get you additional discounts. If you buy a whole bag of cinnamon sticks, you may get a discount.

This is true for cloves, ginger and cardamom. You may be able save money if you buy these spices in bulk.

Ground spices don't last as long as whole spices. Because ground spices lose potency quickly from oxidation, this is why whole spices last longer than ground spices.

However, the main reason we recommend whole spices is because they add character to recipes.

Whole turmeric can be used to make delicious curry. For chicken dishes, whole coriander seeds can be ground to make a spice blend.

Additionally, spices need to be ground. It makes sense to purchase large quantities of whole spices when you are buying them. So that you don’t run out of spices, it’s a smart move.
