Almond Flour or Almond Meal? What is 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 may also contain gluten, making it difficult to digest. If you have celiac disease or another digestive disorder, it's essential to avoid gluten-free foods.

Almond flour isn't considered "superfood", but it is high in healthy fats, fibres, protein, vitamin E, and sodium.

Almond meal has many nutritional benefits, including magnesium, copper and zinc as well as manganese and potassium.

Because it's made from almonds, almond flour contains monounsaturated fatty acids, while almond oil contains polyunsaturated fatty acids. Both types lower LDL (bad cholesterol) and increase HDL(good cholesterol).

Almond flour is high in antioxidants including phenolics, flavonoids, and proanthocyanidins. These compounds help to prevent oxidative damage from free radicals.

A study published in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry found that almond flour had antioxidant activity equivalent to that of blueberries, cranberries, pomegranates, and red wine grape juice.

Almond flour is usually sold alongside almond milk, fortified with additional nutrients.

What kind of mint is used to make Thai food?

The most common type of mint used in Thai cuisine is lime-leaf mint (Mentha Cervina).

It has a mild, lemony flavour that adds freshness and zing to dishes. Other spices such as lemongrass, galangal, garlic and coriander are also frequently added to enhance the flavour of Thai dishes.

Mint is versatile and can be used both in sweet and savoury recipes. Using the right spices, herbs, and aromatics is essential to achieving delicious authentic Thai flavours.

next time you make a Thai dish, don't forget to include some lime-leaf mint for extra flavour!

Happy cooking!

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

There is no difference in cooking with whole spices and cooked with ground spices. After harvesting, spices are ground. It doesn't make a difference in terms of quality.

However, the price differences are significant. Whole spices are more expensive because of the labor required to process them. But the taste is 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.

It is the same for cardamom and cloves as well as ginger, ginger, nutmeg, and ginger. You may be able save money if you buy these spices in bulk.

Ground spices don't last as long as whole spices. Ground spices lose their potency very quickly due to oxidation.

We recommend buying whole spices because they add flavor to your recipes.

You can make delicious curry using whole turmeric, instead of ground turmeric. To make a spice mixture for chicken dishes, you can grind whole coriander seed.

Also, grinding spices takes time. It makes sense to purchase large quantities of whole spices when you are buying them. So you don't run short of spices.

Is Thai cooking made with garlic?

Thai cuisine includes garlic. Garlic is often added to dishes such as salads, soups, stir-fries, curries, sauces, and rice.

In Thailand, garlic is chopped and fried with shallots, ginger, and spices. You can also eat it with sticky rice.

Chilli paste, salt and lime juice are the most popular ways to eat garlic. This mixture is known as Nam Phrik (namphrik). Nam Phrik is often served alongside grilled chicken, beef, or pork.

How To

How To Make A Garlic Press?

A garlic press is an essential tool for any home cook. This allows you to quickly mince garlic and make smooth sauces, soups, and salad dressings. It's also great for crushing whole garlic cloves into a buttery spread or garlic salt.

But if you don't own a garlic press yet, you might wonder where to start with one. Luckily, we've got some tips to help you get started.

First things first: you'll need a large bowl. Then, place the bowl under the press and add the crushed garlic. Now, adjust the pressure regulator valve until it reaches maximum.

Next, move the handle clockwise so that you hear a click. The top of the press should lift up and expose a flat surface. This will allow you slide the blade back-and-forth over the bowl. Continue turning the handle counterclockwise until the blades close.

Finally, take out the pressed garlic.

Here are some more ways to use this versatile instrument:

• Make minced garlic soups, sauces for salads, dips and seasonings.
• Use the press for whole garlic cloves to make a buttery spread
• Put whole garlic cloves on top of pizza dough, before you bake
• Blend roasted garlic into mashed potatoes or creamy polenta
• Use the press to mash garlic into homemade pesto
• Puree garlic in a smooth vinaigrette
