Frequently Asked Questions
What are the 11 spice ingredients in Indian cooking?
The eleven spices of Indian cuisine are coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, mustard seeds, nigella seeds, black pepper, cloves, cinnamon sticks, dry red chili powder, turmeric, and cardamom.
These ingredients can be found in almost all dishes. These spices impart a distinct flavor to dishes such as curries (lentils), curries and chutneys. They also add a unique taste to rice, bread, and sweets.
Health benefits can also be attained from spices. For example, turmeric helps fight cancer cells. Bad breath can be prevented with cloves. Black pepper reduces cholesterol levels. Cinnamon lowers blood pressure. And ginger aids digestion.
A spice rack can be a wonderful kitchen tool, as it allows for you to try different flavors. You can make your own blends of spices or buy ready-made mixes containing many essential spices.
Some people don't like spices. Some people believe spices can only mask the natural flavor of food and don't improve it. A pinch of salt or pepper will not harm your dishes.
Most chefs agree that spices are an essential part of cooking art. Many dishes would be bland and tasteless without spices. You might be inspired to try something new next time you feel adventurous.
Almond Flour vs. Almond Meal. What's The Difference?
An almond meal, which can be used as an almond flour substitute, is more versatile than other almond flours because it can be used for baking and cooking, as well as making nut free dishes.
Almond flour can also be gluten-containing, which can make 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 a superfood per se but it does contain healthy fats, fibre and protein and no cholesterol.
The almond meal provides nutritional benefits such as magnesium, iron, zinc and manganese. It also contains vitamin A, B1 (thiamin), C, and folate.
Because it's made from almonds, almond flour contains monounsaturated fatty acids, while almond oil contains polyunsaturated fatty acids. Both help to lower LDL (bad), and increase HDL levels.
In addition, almond flour is rich in antioxidants, including flavonoids, phenolics, and proanthocyanidins. These compounds protect against oxidative damage caused by 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 milk is often sold with almond flour, which has been fortified with additional nutrients.
How to Store Your Spices?
Keep them out of the sun and heat.
If you want to keep spices fresh for a long time, place them into a dark cupboard. This will help preserve the spices and prevent oxidation.
Keep spices dry and away from sunlight in a cool, dry place. You can lose the aroma and flavor of your spice if it is near a heater or window.
Spices need to be kept in an airtight glass container or tin. Avoid storing spices in plastic containers.
After opening the seal, make sure to inspect it again. Humidity can cause spoilage.
Don't throw out any spice leftovers. You can make use of them by adding them to your favorite dishes. For an extended shelf life, you can freeze the vegetables.
