Frequently Asked Questions
Almond Meal vs. Almond Flour: 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 may also contain gluten, making it difficult to digest. It is important to avoid gluten-free products if you have celiac or other digestive disorders.
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 types help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels.
Almond flour is also high in antioxidants, such as phenolics, flavonoids and proanthocyanidins. 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 commonly sold together with almondmilk, which has additional nutrients.

What are the most important flavours in Thai cuisine?
Thai cuisine includes several distinct regional cuisines. These include Northern, Central, Southern, Eastern, Western, and Northeastern Thai food. Each region has its unique flavour profile.
Thai food contains many flavors.
Thais value sweetness as it makes the food more enjoyable. Thai cuisine includes sweet ingredients like palm sugar (gulamelaka) or coconut milk.
Thailand is also known for its sourness. Hot dishes can often be paired with sour foods. This helps to balance out the heat.
Thai food also includes spicy food. Thai cuisine is rich in spices like galangal, ginger root and chilli pepper.
What is the use of garlic in Thai cooking?
Thai cuisine includes garlic. Garlic is often added to dishes such as salads, soups, stir-fries, curries, sauces, and rice.
Thai garlic is fried in a mixture of shallots and ginger. It is also often eaten with sticky rice.
Garlic is best chopped finely and mixed with oil, chilli paste, fish sauce, lime juice and oil. This mixture is called Nam Phrik (namphrik). Nam phrik often comes with grilled chicken breast or beef.
Thai food uses paprika?
Yes. It is a key ingredient in many dishes, such as Pad See Ew (Thai-fried rice), made from eggs cooked with coconut milk.
Thai food, Mexican, Spanish or Indian cuisines, Thai food, Mexican, Spanish, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Thai, Greek, Turkish and Balkan cuisines all contain paprika.
Paprika can be traced back over 5,000 years ago to Ancient Greece. The Hungarian language, which means "pepper", is where the word "paprika" came from.
How to Store Spices
Keep them out of the sun and heat.
Place them in a dark cupboard to store spices for extended periods. 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. You can lose the aroma and flavor of your spice if it is near a heater or window.
Spices should be stored in an airtight tin or glass jar. If storing in plastic containers, make sure there is no moisture inside the container.
As humidity can cause mold growth, it is important to check the seal before opening or resealing.
You don't have to throw out leftover spices. Don't throw them away, instead use them in new 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 is no difference between cooking whole spices and with ground spices. All spices are ground after harvesting. This ensures that there are no differences in the quality of spices.
The price difference is however significant. Whole spices cost more because of the labour involved in processing them. The flavor is well worth the effort.
When you buy bulk spices, you may get additional discounts. If you buy a whole bag of cinnamon sticks, you may get a discount.
The same applies to nutmeg and cloves, ginger or cardamom. If you purchase these spices in bulk, you may be able to save money.
Ground spices last much longer than whole spices. Ground spices lose their potency very quickly due to oxidation.
The main reason we recommend whole spices over dried is that they can add lots of flavor to recipes.
A delicious curry can be made with whole turmeric as opposed to ground turmeric. For chicken dishes, whole coriander seeds can be ground to make a spice blend.
It takes time to grind spices. A large amount of whole spices is a good idea. So you don't run short of spices.
Statistics

- According to a recent survey, professional chefs and many home cooks use spices; usage has only continued to grow from 2011 to now. (hospitalityinsights.ehl.edu)
- 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)

How To
How do you store your cooking spices?
I'll show you how to store spices properly for best results. First, we must understand how food is stored.
Because light can diminish the flavour of spices, they should be kept in sealed containers. This is due to oxidation which occurs when oxygen combines with organic compounds such as those found in spices.
Spices should be kept in the dark cupboards and sealed tightly in airtight containers to prevent oxidation. Spice tends to lose its flavour quickly if these conditions aren't met.
Keep spices in airtight containers away from direct sun to preserve their flavour.
To make flavoured drinks, you can add herbs or spices to water. To make a cinnamon-flavored drink, combine two teaspoons of ground ginger with half a cup of warm water. Stir and mix well. Add a squeeze or lemon juice to the mixture and serve immediately.
Dried herbs and spices can be added to soups and stews, casseroles and rice dishes. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly on the dish, and let it sit for five to ten minutes before you serve.
Remaining cooked vegetables, fruit and meats can be used in your favorite recipes to make snacks.
For the best flavor of fresh herbs, you can chop them up or tear them apart and then add them to your favorite foods. You can also freeze spices and herbs by placing them in muffin cups or ice trays and freezing them. Once frozen, place them in freezer bags or zip-top bags.
