What purpose is Thai spice used?
We all have heard the term Thai spices, but we don't understand what it really means. But when we discover our mouths water, we wonder why we haven't been eating more of it.
It's not just any spice. It is an important ingredient that gives flavor and depth to bland dishes.
There are thousands of Thai recipes, but very few include the authentic flavor. Let's learn how to include these delicious flavors in your meals.
Thais have used herbs and spices since ancient times to enhance food and drink. The name Thai originates from the Sanskrit word for "to cook."
Today, Thais still love spicy food. This preference is often due to the heat in Thailand which makes it difficult for people to stay warm without hot drinks. Additionally, Thais consume much more chili peppers than Europeans or Americans.
The best way to learn about Thai spices is to visit a local Asian grocery store. There are many options available, including dried chilies as well as fresh basil leaves and curry paste.
You might also find whole peppercorns and cloves as well as cinnamon sticks, star anise pods (star anise), cardamom pods ginger root, cumin seeds coriander seeds seeds, fennel seed, nutmeg mace, mustard seeds, saffron threads garlic, onion, rice vinegar, and tamarind juice.
There are two types of spices in Thai cuisine: dry and wet. Dry spices are usually ground, while wet ones are crushed or pounded finely.
Dry spices are often added to a dish directly. You can sprinkle ground red pepper on your chicken soup. In order to make a paste out of wet spices, oil or butter is often used.
Wet spices are used in dressings, sauces and marinades. Fish sauce, oyster sauces, sesame and sesame olive oils, curry paste and hoisin are some of the most common wet spice options.
To make Thai food at your home, it is important to understand which spices are best with particular ingredients.
Red pepper flakes should be used if you're using beef. Use white pepper if you are using seafood like shrimp.
If you don't live near an Asian market, you can order online. You will find everything from dried chilies to exotic herbs and spices here.
So next time you get hungry, think about putting on a little extra heat by whipping up one of these tasty Thai recipes!
Almond Flour vs. Almond Meal. What's The Difference?
Almond meal can be substituted for almond flour and is versatile enough to be used in baking, cooking and even making nut-free meals.
Almond flour might also contain gluten, which can make it hard 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 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 help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels.
Almond flour is also rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids and phenolics. These compounds prevent free radical-induced oxidative stress.
A study published by the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry revealed that almond flour had an antioxidant activity equal to that of blueberries.
Almond milk is often sold with almond flour, which has been fortified with additional nutrients.
How do I make Thai food at home using Thai spices?
In order to cook authentic Thai food at home you will need five spices: black pepper (cayenne), coriander seeds (coriander seeds), turmeric and cinnamon. Each ingredient has a unique flavor profile and plays an essential role in creating delicious dishes.
Cinnamon provides sweetness while black pepper enhances the flavours. Coriander seeds add a spicy kick, while turmeric gives curry powder its signature yellow colour. Cayenne peppers add heat, while cilantro brings out the freshness. A final ingredient is cinnamon, which adds depth and complexity.
You can find each of these spices at your local grocery store, but if you'd instead buy them online, here are our recommendations for where to shop.

How To
How do you store your cooking spices?
I will tell you how to store cooking spices for optimal performance. First, we must understand how food is stored.
Because light can diminish the flavour of spices, they should be kept in sealed containers. This is caused by oxidation, which happens when oxygen and organic compounds combine like spices.
To prevent oxidation of spices, keep them in dark cupboards. Spices will lose their flavour quickly if the conditions aren’t met.
It is the best way to preserve spices' flavours by keeping them out of direct sunlight.
For a flavoured beverage, add herbs and spices. To make a cinnamon-flavored drink, combine two teaspoons of ground ginger with half a cup of warm water. Stir and mix well. Add a squeeze or lemon juice to the mixture and serve immediately.
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.
As snacks, leftover cooked vegetables and fruits can be added into your favourite recipes.
Fresh herbs and spices can be enjoyed by being chopped or broken up. It is also possible to freeze herbs and spices in muffin cups or ice cube trays. Once frozen, place them in freezer bags or zip-top bags.
