Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference in cooking with whole vs. ground spices? Ground Spices?

There is no difference between cooking whole spices and with ground spices. All spices can be ground once they have been harvested. This ensures that there are no differences in the quality of spices.

However, the price differences are significant. Whole spices cost more because of the labour involved in processing them. But the flavour is well worth it.

Bulk purchases of whole spices can often get you additional discounts. An example: If you buy an entire bag full of cinnamon sticks, you might get a discount.

The same applies to nutmeg and cloves, ginger or cardamom. If you purchase these spices in bulk, you may be able to save money.

Whole spices can also last longer than the ground spices. Because ground spices lose potency quickly from oxidation, this is why whole spices last longer than ground spices.

But the main reason why we recommend purchasing whole spices is that they add a lot of 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.

Also, grinding spices takes time. If you're buying whole spices it makes sense for you to buy large quantities. This will ensure that you don't run out of spices quickly.

Does Thai use ginger?

Yes. The traditional Thai cooking uses ginger heavily. Ginger is often used in stir-fries and soups, as well as desserts and drinks, such as lassis.

Ginger is an indigenous plant of China, Japan and Korea. Its roots date back more that 5,000 years. It is believed to have originated in Southeast Asia, where it was cultivated for medicinal purposes.

Ginger is well-known for its ability to relieve nausea and stimulate digestion. It may even help prevent migraines. Ginger is also known to reduce muscle spasms and joint pains as well as treating arthritis.

Ginger is most often fresh in Thailand. It is sliced into thin strips and then dried before being stored for later use. Ginger root can be purchased in cans or jars at Asian markets.

• Next, crush the dried red chilli peppers (4 tablespoons) and then remove the seeds (optional).
• Next, cut kaffir lime leaves into thin strips (about 5 inches long). Next, remove the white part from the stem and leave it alone.
• After that, wash and drain shrimp paste (about 6 ounces), then coarsely mash it.
• Finally, measure out sugar and salt.

Step2 - Grind Ingredients

• Mix all ingredients until well combined.
• The texture should be similar to that of peanut butter.
• Note: if you want to reduce the amount of oil in the dish, you can substitute some water for some of the oil.
