Frequently Asked Questions

How to Store Spices

Keep them away from heat and light.

You can store them for long periods in a dark cupboard. This will preserve them and prevent any 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 need to be kept in an airtight glass container or tin. Make sure that there is no moisture in any plastic containers you store spices in.

Always check the seal after opening and resealing, as 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.

What mint is used for Thai food?

Thai cuisine has the most widespread use of lime-leaf mint (Mentha certvina).

It adds freshness to dishes with its mild, lemony flavor. To enhance Thai cuisine's flavour, other spices like galangal, coriander, lemongrass and garlic are often added.

Mint is versatile and can be used both in sweet and savoury recipes. For authentic Thai flavours, you must use the right spices and herbs.

next time you make a Thai dish, don't forget to include some lime-leaf mint for extra flavour!

Happy cooking!

Almond Flour vs. Almond Meal. What's 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 can also be gluten-containing, which can make it difficult to digest. It is important to avoid gluten-free products if you have celiac or other digestive disorders.

Although almond flour isn’t considered to be a “superfood”, it is rich in healthy fats and fibre.

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 reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol and increase HDL ("good") cholesterol.

Almond flour also contains antioxidants like phenolics and flavonoids. These compounds are effective in preventing oxidative damages caused by free radicals.

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 usually sold alongside almond milk, fortified with additional nutrients.

Is Thai cooking made with garlic?

Thai cuisine often uses garlic. Garlic is commonly added to salads.

Thai garlic is fried in a mixture of shallots and ginger. In addition, it is commonly eaten with sticky rice.

Garlic is best chopped finely and mixed with oil, chilli paste, fish sauce, lime juice and oil. This is "Nam Phrik" or "namphrik". Nam phrik is often accompanied by grilled chicken or beef.

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)
• It has been estimated that around 1,000 tons of pepper and 1,000 tons of other common spices were imported into Western Europe each year during the Late Middle Ages. (en.wikipedia.org)
• India contributes to 75% of global spice production. (en.wikipedia.org)

How To

How To Make A Garlic Press?

A garlic press is an essential tool for any home cook. This allows you to quickly mince garlic and make smooth sauces, soups, and salad dressings. It's also great for crushing whole garlic cloves into a buttery spread or garlic salt.

However, if you don’t already have a garlic pressing machine, you might wonder how to get one. Luckily, we've got some tips to help you get started.

First things first: you'll need a large bowl. Place the bowl beneath the press, and then pour the crushed garlic in it. Now adjust the pressure regulator to the maximum.

Next, turn the handle counterclockwise 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 until the blades close.

Finally, remove the pressed garlic.

Here are some other ways to use this versatile tool:

• Make minced garlic soups, sauces for salads, dips and seasonings.
• You can crush whole garlic cloves using the press to make a buttery spread
• Before baking, crush whole cloves of garlic on pizza dough
• Make roasted garlic mashed potatoes, or creamy polenta.
• The press can be used to make pesto from garlic
• Puree garlic in a smooth vinaigrette
