Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of mint is used to make Thai food?

Thai cuisine's most used type is lime-leaf, or Mentha cervina.

It has a mild, citrusy flavour that gives dishes a freshness and zing. 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. To achieve authentic Thai flavours, it is important to use the right spices, herbs and aromatics.

Make a Thai dish next time and add some lime-leaf mint to give it extra flavor.

Happy cooking!

Almond Flour vs. Almond Meal: What's 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 might also contain gluten, which can make it hard 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 nutritional benefits of almond meal include magnesium and copper, iron and zinc, manganese as well as potassium and vitamin C.

Almond flour is made of almonds. Almond oil is made from polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, fatty oils. Both types help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels.

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

The Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry published a study that found almond flour to have the same antioxidant activity as blueberries, cranberries and pomegranates.

Almond flour is typically sold along with almond milk, which is fortified to add additional nutrients.

How to Store Spices

Keep them out of the sun and heat.

You can store them for long periods in a dark cupboard. This will help keep them fresh and prevent any deterioration due to oxidation.

Your spices should be kept in cool and dry areas, away from direct sunlight. It is possible for the spice to lose its flavor and aroma if it's placed in close proximity to a window or heater.

Spices should be stored in an airtight tin or glass jar. You should ensure that the containers are not moistened if you store them in plastic containers.

After opening the seal, make sure to inspect it again. Humidity can cause spoilage.

You don't have to throw out leftover spices. Make sure to use leftover spices in other recipes. To extend their shelf life, you can freeze them.

Statistics

• According to Healthline, pink Himalayan salt is estimated to contain up to 84 minerals and trace elements, which gives the salt its special pink color. (spicecravings.com)
• Their 14 to 20 percent essential oil content means that cloves have the highest concentration of aroma compounds of any spice. (masterclass.com)

How To

How to Make a Garlic Press

A garlic press is an essential tool for any home cook. You can quickly mince garlic or make a paste. It can also be used to crush whole garlic cloves into buttery spreads or garlic salt.

However, if you don’t already have a garlic pressing machine, you might wonder how to get one. Here are some tips to get you started.

First, you need a large dish. 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 part of the press should lift off and reveal a flat surface that will allow you to slide the blade back and forth over the bowl. Continue turning the handle in a clockwise direction until the blades come to a close.

Finally, remove the pressed garlic.

Here are some ways to make this versatile tool even more useful:

• Garlic mince can be added to soups or sauces, salads or dips.
• To crush whole garlic cloves, use the press to create a buttery spread
• Crush whole cloves of garlic onto pizza dough before baking
• Roasted garlic can be incorporated into creamy polenta or mashed potatoes.
• Use the press for homemade pesto
• Blend garlic to make a smooth vinaigrette
