Frequently Asked Questions
How to Store Your Spices?
Keep them away from heat and light.
You can store them for long periods in a dark cupboard. This will ensure that they stay fresh and prevent any possible oxidation.
Keep spices away from direct sunlight in a dry, cool place. You can lose the aroma and flavor of your spice if it is near a heater or window.
Spices are best stored in an airtight glass jar or tin. If you are storing your spices in plastic containers, ensure there is no moisture.
As humidity can cause mold growth, it is important to check the seal before opening or resealing.
You don't have to throw out leftover spices. Make sure to use leftover spices in other recipes. You can even freeze them to extend their shelf life.
What are the primary Flavours in Thai cooking?
Thai cuisine includes several distinct regional cuisines. These include Northern Thai food, Central Thai food, Southern Thai food, Eastern Thai food, Western Thai food, and Northeastern Thai. Each region has its distinctive flavour profile.
Thai food has many common flavors, including sweet, salty.
Thais love sweetness because it makes their dishes more delicious. Thai cuisine includes sweet ingredients like palm sugar (gulamelaka) or coconut milk.
Sourness is also very popular in Thailand. Hot dishes are often served with sour foods. This combination balances out the heat.
Thai food has a lot of spicy ingredients. Thai dishes often use spices such as chili pepper, galangal or ginger root.
Almond Flour vs. Almond Meal. What's 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 might also contain gluten, which can make it hard to digest. Avoid gluten-free food if you have celiac disease, or any other digestive disorder.
Almond flour isn’t considered a superfood per se but it does contain healthy fats, fibre and protein and no cholesterol.
The almond meal offers many nutritional benefits including iron, magnesium, zinc, manganese (thiamin), calcium, vitamin A, B1 and Vitamin C.
Almond flour is made from almonds and contains monounsaturated fat acids. Almond oil, however, contains polyunsaturated oils. Both types reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol and increase HDL ("good") cholesterol.
In addition, almond flour is rich in antioxidants, including flavonoids, phenolics, 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 can be purchased with almond milk that has been supplemented with nutrients.
Is Thai cuisine made with garlic?
Thai cuisine includes garlic. Garlic is often added to dishes such as salads, soups, stir-fries, curries, sauces, and rice.
Thai garlic is chopped and fried together with ginger, shallots and other spices. It is also often eaten with sticky rice.
Garlic is best chopped finely and mixed with oil, chilli paste, fish sauce, lime juice and oil. This mixture is known as Nam Phrik (namphrik). Nam phrik often comes with grilled chicken breast or beef.
What's the Difference Between Cooking With Whole vs. Ground Spices?
There isn't any difference between cooking with whole spices and ground spices. After harvesting, all spices are ground. The quality is the same.
However, the price differences are significant. Because of the labor involved in making whole spices, they cost more. But the flavour is well 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.
The same applies to nutmeg and cloves, ginger or cardamom. You might be able to save money by buying these spices in bulk.
Whole spices also last longer than ground spices. Ground spices quickly lose their potency due to oxidation.
The main reason we recommend whole spices over dried is that they can add lots of flavor to recipes.
Whole turmeric can be used to make delicious curry. Or you can grind whole coriander seeds to create a spice blend for chicken dishes.
The process of grinding spices takes a lot of time. A large amount of whole spices is a good idea. So that you don’t run out of spices, it’s a smart move.
What are the 11 spice ingredients in Indian cooking?
The eleven spices of Indian cuisine are coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, mustard seeds, nigella seeds, black pepper, cloves, cinnamon sticks, dry red chili powder, turmeric, and cardamom.
These ingredients can be found used in almost every recipe. 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.
Health benefits can also be attained from spices. To fight cancer cells, turmeric is an example. Bad breath is prevented by cloves. Black pepper decreases cholesterol. Cinnamon lowers blood pressure. And ginger aids digestion.
A spice rack is a fantastic kitchen tool that allows you experiment with different combinations. You can either make your own spice blends or purchase ready-made 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.
Many chefs agree that spices play a crucial role in culinary art. Without spices, many dishes are bland and tasteless. You might be inspired to try something new next time you feel adventurous.
Thai food can Paprika be used?
Yes. Yes.
Thai, Mexican, Spanish, Indian and Chinese cuisines include paprika.
Paprika can been traced back to Ancient Greece over 5,000 years ago. The Hungarian language is what "paprika" means.

How To
How do you store your cooking spices?
I'll show you how to store spices properly for best results. First, it is important to understand the science behind how foodstuffs are stored.
Keep spices out of direct sunlight as light will reduce their flavor. This is due to oxidation which occurs when oxygen combines with organic compounds such as those found in spices.
To avoid oxidation, spices must be kept in dark cupboards. Spices lose their flavor quickly if these conditions don't exist.
It is the best way to preserve spices' flavours by keeping them out of direct sunlight.
You can add herbs and spices to water to make a flavoured drink. For example, you could mix 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon in 1/2 cup of warm milk and stir it well. Serve immediately by adding a squeeze lemon juice.
Dry herbs and spices can also be used in soups, stews or casseroles. Spread the spice mixture evenly onto the dish. Allow it to sit for between 5-10 minutes before serving.
As snacks, leftover cooked vegetables and fruits can be added into your favourite recipes.
To get the best flavours from fresh herbs and spices, cut them or tear them and add them to hot foods. Also, you can freeze herbs and spice by placing them into ice cube dishes or muffin cups. Once frozen transfer to zip-top plastic bags or freezer bags.
