Frequently Asked Questions

Almond Flour and Almond Meal: What is 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 may also contain gluten, making it difficult to digest. Gluten-free foods should be avoided if you have celiac Disease or any other digestive condition.

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

The almond meal provides nutritional benefits such as magnesium, iron, zinc and manganese. It also contains vitamin A, B1 (thiamin), C, and folate.

Almond flour is made from almonds and contains monounsaturated fat acids. Almond oil, however, contains polyunsaturated oils. Both types lower LDL (bad cholesterol) and increase HDL(good cholesterol).

In addition, almond flour is rich in antioxidants, including flavonoids, phenolics, and proanthocyanidins. These compounds protect against free radical-induced oxidative harm.

In a study published in Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry, almond flour was found to have an antioxidant activity comparable to blueberries, cranberries or pomegranates and red wine grapes juice.

Almond flour is commonly sold together with almondmilk, which has additional nutrients.

What's the importance of spices in your life?

A spice can be described as a seasoning to enhance flavour in food. Spices come in various forms, such as powders, liquids, gums, oils, pastes, and seeds. They are also known as condiments and flavours.

Spicing up dishes is a great way to add variety to meals. To add more flavour and excitement to dishes, many spices can be used.

A few drops of hot sauce can make a soup taste better. You could also add a few cayenne peppers to a cup of rice.

Fresh ingredients are the best option to spice up your recipes. When you are buying dried herbs, make sure they are organic. Fresh herbs are more durable than dried herbs.

Although some spices are essential to cooking, there are others that you might prefer not to use. If you have a history or liver disease, cinnamon sticks can be dangerous. Ginger also has coumarin, although it's less concentrated. It's safe for people who don't have a history of liver problems.

Is garlic used in Thai cooking?

Thai cuisine often uses garlic. Garlic is used in Thai cuisine as an ingredient in salads, soups and stir-fries.

Garlic is often fried in Thailand with ginger, shallots, and other spices. You can also eat it with sticky rice.

Garlic can be eaten in a variety of ways. This is "Nam Phrik" or "namphrik". Nam phrik is often served with grilled chicken or beef.

How To

How to Make A Garlic Press

A garlic presse is an indispensable tool for home chefs. It can be used to quickly mince garlic into a paste. It's also great for crushing whole garlic cloves into a buttery spread or garlic salt.

It's possible to be confused if you don’t yet own a garlicpress. Here are some tips to get you started.

First, you will need a large bowl. Place the bowl underneath the press and pour the crushed garlic into it. Now, set the pressure regulator valve to the maximum.

Next, turn the handle clockwise until you hear a click. The top portion of the press should come off, revealing a flat surface. You can slide the blade across the bowl. Continue turning the handle counterclockwise to close the blades.

Finally, remove the pressed garlic and enjoy!

Here are other ways you can make use of this versatile tool.

• Garlic mince can be added to soups or sauces, salads or dips.
• Use the press to crush whole garlic cloves into a buttery spread
• Place whole garlic cloves in a pizza dough and crush them before baking
• Make roasted garlic mashed potatoes, or creamy polenta.
• Use the press to make homemade pesto out of garlic
• Blend the garlic into a smooth vinegar dressing
