Frequently Asked Questions
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 help keep them fresh and prevent any deterioration due to oxidation.
Store your spices in a cool, dry area 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 can be best kept in an airtight container or tin. If storing in plastic containers, make sure there is no moisture inside the container.
Check the seal every time you open and reseal it. Heat can cause moisture to spoil your product.
Don't throw out any spice leftovers. Make sure to use leftover spices in other recipes. For an extended shelf life, you can freeze the vegetables.
What's the difference between cooking whole and with ground spices? Ground Spices?
There are no differences between cooking with whole spices or ground spices. All spices are ground after harvesting. There is no quality difference.
The price difference is however significant. Because of the labor involved in making whole spices, they cost more. But the flavour is well worth it.
When you buy bulk spices, you may get additional discounts. A whole bag of cinnamon sticks might be eligible for a discount.
The same goes for nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cardamom, etc. If you purchase these spices in bulk, you may be able to save money.
Ground spices are also more durable than whole spices. Because ground spices lose potency quickly from oxidation, this is why whole spices last longer than ground spices.
However, the main reason we recommend whole spices is because they add character to recipes.
You can make delicious curry using whole turmeric, instead of ground turmeric. Or you can grind whole coriander seeds to create a spice blend for chicken dishes.
It takes time to grind spices. A large amount of whole spices is a good idea. You won't run low on spices if you buy large quantities.
Almond Meal vs. Almond Flour: What's 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 can also be gluten-containing, which can make it difficult to digest. It's important to avoid gluten-free diets if your condition is celiac.
Almond flour isn't considered "superfood", but it is high in healthy fats, fibres, protein, vitamin E, and sodium.
The almond meal offers many nutritional benefits including iron, magnesium, zinc, manganese (thiamin), calcium, vitamin A, B1 and Vitamin C.
Almond flour is made of almonds. Almond oil is made from polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, fatty oils. Both can lower LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol.
Almond flour is also high in antioxidants, such as phenolics, flavonoids and proanthocyanidins. These compounds help to prevent oxidative damage from free radicals.
A study published by the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry revealed that almond flour had an antioxidant activity equal to that of blueberries.
Almond flour is typically sold along with almond milk, which is fortified to add additional nutrients.
