Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between cooking with whole spices and using ground spices? Ground Spices?

There is no difference in cooking with whole spices and cooked with ground spices. All spices are ground after harvesting. 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 flavour is well worth it.

Bulk purchases of whole spices can often get you additional discounts. A whole bag of cinnamon sticks might be eligible for a discount.

It is the same for cardamom and cloves as well as ginger, ginger, nutmeg, and ginger. This can help you save money on spices if you buy them in bulk.

Whole spices can also last longer than the ground spices. Ground spices quickly lose their potency due to oxidation.

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. To make a spice mixture for chicken dishes, you can grind whole coriander seed.

Grinding spices takes time. When you buy whole spices, it makes sense to buy a large quantity. So you don't run short of spices.

What are the spices, condiments and seasonings Thailand uses in its dishes?

Thai cuisine is an amalgamation of influences from across Asia. Its roots lie in India, China, and Southeast Asia.

Freshness is the most important ingredient in Thai food. You get more flavor if ingredients are picked in the early stages of cooking and then cooked quickly. This is the reason meat, fish, fruits and vegetables are often eaten raw.

Spices and sauces give dishes depth and color. Fresh basil, cilantro, mint, coriander (cilantro), lemongrass, ginger, turmeric, garlic, chillies, chilli paste, soy sauce, tamarind juice, oyster sauce, palm sugar, coconut milk, lime leaves, galangal root, curry powder, shrimp paste, fish sauce, tamarind water, rice vinegar, etc. are commonly used.

How to store your spices?

Keep them in an airtight, dry container away from heat or light.

If you want to keep spices fresh for a long time, place them into a dark cupboard. This will preserve them and prevent any oxidation.

Keep your spices out of direct sunlight and in a cool dry place. A heater or window can cause the spice to lose its aroma and flavour.

Spices work best in an airtight jar or tin. If you are storing your spices in plastic containers, ensure there is no moisture.

Check the seal every time you open and reseal it. Heat can cause moisture to spoil your product.

Don't toss out any leftover spices. Make sure to use leftover spices in other recipes. For an extended shelf life, you can freeze the vegetables.

Almond Flour or Almond Meal? What is the difference?

As an almond flour alternative, an almond meal is more versatile because it can be used for baking, cooking, and even making nut-free dishes.

Almond flour may also contain gluten, making it difficult 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 with almonds. Almond oils contain polyunsaturated essential fatty acids. 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 protect against oxidative damage caused by free radicals.

An experiment published in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry showed that almond flour has an equivalent antioxidant activity to that of blueberries.

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

How To

How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms

The shiitakes grow well. There is nothing wrong with them. However, how do you cut them without cutting yourself? We tried everything. Even scissors. We keep losing them. Is there something wrong?

The trick is simple. You must put a rubber band around the mushroom's stem and twist it tight. You won't slip or cut yourself.

You may be thinking that this seems too easy. It is. But it's also very effective.

The rubber band makes your stem slippery and it feels very natural when you pick it it up. It's a good idea to secure the stem.

Go ahead, try it. It's so easy to chop mushrooms now.
