Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main spices, condiments, seasonings and herbs used in Thai cuisine?
Thai cuisine is a combination of influences from all over Asia. Its roots are found in India and China, as well as Southeast Asia.
Freshness is the most important ingredient in Thai food. Fresh ingredients have more flavor when they are picked and prepared quickly. This is why meats and fish, as well as vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and grains, are often eaten raw and served warm.
Spices and sauces give dishes depth and color. Fresh basil, cilantro, mint, coriander (cilantro), lemongrass, ginger, turmeric, garlic, chillies, chilli paste, soy sauce, tamarind juice, oyster sauce, palm sugar, coconut milk, lime leaves, galangal root, curry powder, shrimp paste, fish sauce, tamarind water, rice vinegar, etc. These are often used.
What's the Difference Between Cooking With Whole vs. Ground Spices?
There are no differences between cooking with whole spices or ground spices. After harvesting, 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. However, the flavor is worth it.

The same is true for nutmeg cloves ginger, cardamom, and ginger. These spices can be purchased in bulk to save money.

How To
How do you decide which spices to purchase?
It is important to know how you can choose the right spices and herbs to cook. There are many options available, so how do you choose which ones to add in your pantry?
There are three main factors to consider when choosing spices: flavour profile, shelf life, and cost. Flavour profiles differ depending on whether you're cooking meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, beans, grains, pasta, eggs, dessert, bread, etc. Once you have decided on a category you will need to narrow your options based on the differences.
Shelf lives vary greatly too. Some spices last forever, while others expire quickly. For example, cayenne pepper lasts for years, whereas oregano loses its potency after two months. Then there's the price. Spices can cost anywhere from $1 per tablespoon up to $100 per ounce. This means that spice prices can vary widely.
You'll also want to determine whether you prefer organic or non-organic ingredients. Organic products have fewer pesticides and chemicals that conventional products, which is better for your health as well as the environment. They can be more expensive, so it's important to weigh the costs and the benefits.
The best way to get the perfect spices for your home is to shop online. Online retailers offer detailed information about each product, including reviews, pricing, ratings, and ingredient lists.
Once you've narrowed your list, you can order directly from the retailer. Once you receive your items, store them safely in airtight containers away from heat and light.
