For those that crave whole spices but also want more than the 4 jar Whole Spices Starter . This is a wonderful addition to the spice cabinet of any kitchen chef who loves their spices as fresh as possible. This also makes a wonderful gift for your favorite foodie.
Here are your six selections:
Coriander Seed - The taste of Coriander is rather mild, so you can use this rather generously without overwhelming a dish. Coriander has a spicy, warm, citrusy flavor that is enjoyed in African, Chinese, Latin American, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, Mexican and Southeastern Asian cuisines.
Cumin Seed - With a unique flavor that is spicy-sweet, aromatic and with somewhat bitter undertones, Cumin has only recently begun to be recognized as a popular spice in this country. However worldwide, it is the third most consumed spices right behind chiles and pepper.
Fennel Seed - Known as "the fish herb" by French and Italian chefs who believe that fennel's subtle, anise-like flavor with licorice undertones is the perfect compliment with fish. Because Fennel quickly loses its flavor when ground, we recommend grinding the seeds in small batches for maximum flavor. In order to get the most from its delicate flavor we prefer to add it toward the end of the cooking process.
Cardamom Seed - Cardamom’s aroma is rugged yet gentle, biting and a bit fruity while its taste is light and lemony. Cardamom brings out the best in other spices and intensifies both savory and sweet flavors. In India Cardamom is known as the "Queen of Spices" (pepper is referred to as the "king").
Achiote Seed - Originally harvested in tropical South America these rust red seeds are traditionally used in Caribbean, Latin American and Mexican cuisines for their coloring effect which when cooked gives off a deep orange/yellow hue. Works well in combination with allspice, chili, citrus juice, cloves, cumin, oregano and paprika.
Sesame Seed - Popular in Chinese stir fries, Sesame Seeds are native to Africa and Indonesia. They are fairly soft, flat, tiny and oval shaped and don’t possess much of a fragrance. Their taste is a bit nutty with a light crunch. Once ground or roasted the taste becomes more pronounced. |
