<h2><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Chia seeds</strong></span><br /><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong><span style="color:#d0121a;">The price is for packaging of 10 grams of this spice.</span></strong></span></h2> <p><span style="color:#000000;"><b>Chia</b><span> is the edible seed of </span><i>Salvia hispanica</i><span>, a flowering plant in the mint family (</span>Lamiaceae<span>) native to Central America, or of the related </span><i>Salvia columbariae</i><span> of the southwestern United States and Mexico. Chia seeds are oval and gray with black and white spots, having a diameter around 1 millimetre (0.04 in). The seeds are </span>hydrophilic<span>, absorbing up to 12 times their weight in liquid when soaked and developing a </span>mucilaginous<span> coating that gives chia-based creams and beverages a distinctive </span>gel<span> texture. <span>There is evidence the crop was widely </span>cultivated<span> by the </span>Aztecs<span> in </span>pre-Columbian times<span>, and was a </span>staple food<span> for </span>Mesoamerican<span> cultures. Chia seeds are cultivated on a small scale in their ancestral homeland of central Mexico and Guatemala, and they are cultivated commercially throughout Central and South America.</span></span></span></p> <p>Typically, chia seeds are small flattened ovals measuring on average 2.1 mm × 1.3 mm × 0.8 mm (0.08 in × 0.05 in × 0.03 in), with an average weight of 1.3 mg per seed. They are mottle-colored with brown, gray, black, and white. The seeds are hydrophilic, absorbing up to 12 times their weight in liquid when soaked; they develop a mucilaginous coating that gives chia-based creams and beverages a distinctive gel texture.</p> <p>Chia (or chian or chien) has mostly been identified as <i>Salvia hispanica</i> L. Other plants referred to as "chia" include "golden chia" (<i>Salvia columbariae</i>). The seeds of <i>Salvia columbariae</i> are used medicinally and for food.</p> <p>In the 21st century, chia is grown and consumed commercially in its native Mexico and Guatemala, as well as Bolivia, Argentina, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and Australia. New patented varieties of chia have been developed in Kentucky for cultivation in northern latitudes of the United States.</p> <p>Seed yield varies depending on cultivars, mode of cultivation, and growing conditions by geographic region. For example, commercial fields in Argentina and Colombia vary in yield range from 450 to 1250 kg/ha. A small-scale study with three cultivars grown in the inter-Andean valleys of Ecuador produced yields up to 2300 kg/ha, indicating that favorable growing environment and cultivar interacted to produce such high yields. Genotype has a larger effect on yield than on protein content, oil content, fatty acid composition, or phenolic compounds, whereas high temperature reduces oil content and degree of unsaturation, and raises protein content.</p> <p>Dried chia seeds contain 6% water, 42% carbohydrates, 16% protein, and 31% fat (table). In a 100-gram amount, chia seeds are a rich source (20% or more of the Daily Value, DV) of the B vitamins, thiamin and niacin (54% and 59% DV, respectively), and a moderate source of riboflavin (14% DV) and folate (12% DV). Several dietary minerals are in rich content, including calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, and zinc (all more than 20% DV; table).</p> <p>The fatty acids of chia seed oil are mainly unsaturated, with linoleic acid (17–26% of total fat) and linolenic acid (50-57%) as the major fats.</p>

It is derived from at least two species of the global genus <i><span style="color: #000000;">Zanthoxylum</span></i>, including <i><span style="color: #000000;">Z. simulans</span></i> and <i><span style="color: #000000;">Z. bungeanum</span></i>. The genus <i>Zanthoxylum</i> belongs in the <span style="color: #000000;">rue or citrus family</span>, and, despite its name, is not closely related to either <span style="color: #000000;">black pepper</span> or the <span style="color: #000000;">chili pepper</span>.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">The husk or hull (<span style="color: #000000;">pericarp</span>) around the seeds may be used whole, especially in <span style="color: #000000;">Sichuan cuisine</span>, and the finely ground powder is one of the ingredients for <span style="color: #000000;">five-spice powder</span>. It is also used in <span style="color: #000000;">traditional Chinese medicine</span>. The pericarp is most often used, but the leaves of various species are also used in some regions of China.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Another species of <i>Zanthoxylum</i> native to China, <i><span style="color: #000000;">Z. schinifolium</span></i>, called <i>xiāng jiāo zi</i> (<span title="Chinese language text" xml:lang="zh" lang="zh">香椒子</span>, "aromatic peppercorn") or <i>qīng huā jiāo</i> (<span title="Chinese language text" xml:lang="zh" lang="zh">青花椒</span>, "green flower pepper"), is used as a spice in <span style="color: #000000;">Hebei</span>.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">While the exact flavour and composition of different species from the genus <i>Zanthoxylum</i> vary, most share the same essential characteristics. So while the terms "Sichuan pepper" and <i><span style="color: #000000;">sanshō</span></i>may refer specifically to <i>Z. simulans</i> and <i><span style="color: #000000;">Z. piperitum</span></i>, respectively, the two are commonly used interchangeably.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Related species are used in the cuisines of Tibet, <span style="color: #000000;">Bhutan</span>, Nepal, <span style="color: #000000;">Thailand</span>, and India (the <span style="color: #000000;">Konkani</span> and <span style="color: #000000;">Kumaoni</span> people) and <span style="color: #000000;">Toba Batak</span> peoples. In Bhutan, this pepper is known as <i>thingye</i> and is used liberally in preparation of soups, gruels, and <i>phaag sha paa</i> (pork slices). In Nepal, <i>timur</i> is used in the popular foods <span style="color: #000000;"><i>momo</i></span>, <i><span style="color: #000000;">thukpa</span></i>, <span style="color: #000000;">chow mein</span>, chicken chilli, and other meat dishes. It is also widely used in homemade pickles. People take <i>timur</i> as a medicine for stomach or digestion problems, in a preparation with cloves of garlic and mountain salt with warm water.</span></p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Culinary_uses">Culinary uses</span></h2> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><span>Sichuan pepper's unique aroma and flavour is not hot or pungent like black, white, or chili peppers. Instead, it has slight lemony overtones and creates a tingly numbness in the mouth (caused by its 3</span></span>% of<span style="color: #000000;"> <span style="color: #000000;">hydroxy alpha sanshool</span>) that sets the stage for hot spices. According to <span style="color: #000000;">Harold McGee</span> in <i><span style="color: #000000;">On Food and Cooking</span></i>,<span> they are not simply pungent; "they produce a strange, tingling, buzzing, numbing sensation that is something like the effect of carbonated drinks or of a mild electric current (touching the terminals of a nine-volt battery to the tongue). Sanshools appear to act on several different kinds of nerve endings at once, induce sensitivity to touch and cold in nerves that are ordinarily nonsensitive, and so perhaps cause a kind of general neurological confusion."</span></span></p> </body> </html>

Depending on the species and cultivar, the leaves may taste somewhat like </span>anise<span>, with a strong, pungent, often sweet smell.</span><span>There are many </span>varieties of <i>Ocimum basilicum</i><span>, as well as several related species or hybrids also called basil. The type used commonly as a flavor is typically called </span><b>sweet basil</b><span> (or </span><b>Genovese basil</b><span>), as opposed to </span>Thai basil<span> (</span><i>O. basilicum</i><span> var. </span><i>thyrsiflora</i><span>), </span>lemon basil<span> (</span><i>O. × citriodorum</i><span>), and </span><b>holy basil</b><span> (</span><i>Ocimum tenuiflorum</i><span>). While most common varieties of basil are treated as </span>annuals<span>, some are </span>perennial<span> in warm, tropical climates, including holy basil and a cultivar known as "</span>African blue basil<span>".</span></span></p> <p>Basil is most commonly used fresh in recipes. In general, it is added at the last moment, as cooking quickly destroys the flavor. The fresh herb can be kept for a short time in plastic bags in the refrigerator, or for a longer period in the freezer, after being blanched quickly in boiling water. The dried herb also loses most of its flavor, and what little flavor remains tastes very different, with a weak coumarin flavor, like hay.nBasil is one of the main ingredients in pesto—a green Italian oil-and-herb sauce.</p> <p>The most commonly used Mediterranean basil cultivars are "Genovese", "Purple Ruffles", "Mammoth", "Cinnamon", "Lemon", "Globe", and "African Blue". The Chinese also use fresh or dried basils in soups and other foods. In Taiwan, people add fresh basil leaves to thick soups. They also eat fried chicken with deep-fried basil leaves. Basil (most commonly Thai basil) is commonly steeped in cream or milk to create an interesting flavor in ice cream or chocolates (such as truffles). The leaves are not the only part of basil used in culinary applications, the flower buds have a more subtle flavor and they are edible.</p>

Growing to 15–30 cm (6–12 in) tall by 40 cm (16 in) wide, it is a bushy, woody-based </span>evergreen<span> </span>subshrub<span> with small, highly aromatic, grey-green leaves and clusters of purple or pink flowers in early summer.</span></span></p> <p>It is useful in the garden as groundcover, where it can be short-lived, but is easily propagatedfrom cuttings. It is also the main source of thyme as an ingredient in cooking and as an herbal medicine. It is slightly spicier than oregano and sweeter than sage.</p> <p>In some Levantine countries, and Assyria, the condiment <i>za'atar</i> (Arabic for thyme) contains thyme as a vital ingredient. It is a common component of the <i>bouquet garni</i>, and of <i>herbes de Provence</i>.</p> <p>Thyme is sold both fresh and dried. While summer-seasonal, fresh greenhouse thyme is often available year-round. The fresh form is more flavourful, but also less convenient; storage life is rarely more than a week. However, the fresh form can last many months if carefully frozen.</p> <p>Fresh thyme is commonly sold in bunches of sprigs. A sprig is a single stem snipped from the plant. It is composed of a woody stem with paired leaf or flower clusters ("leaves") spaced <span class="frac nowrap"><sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>2</sub></span> to 1 inch (13 to 25 mm) apart. A recipe may measure thyme by the bunch (or fraction thereof), or by the sprig, or by the tablespoon or teaspoon. Dried thyme is widely used in Armenia in tisanes(called <i>urc</i>).</p> <p>Depending on how it is used in a dish, the whole sprig may be used (e.g., in a <i>bouquet garni</i>), or the leaves removed and the stems discarded. Usually, when a recipe specifies "bunch" or "sprig", it means the whole form; when it specifies spoons, it means the leaves. It is perfectly acceptable to substitute dried for whole thyme. Leaves may be removed from stems either by scraping with the back of a knife, or by pulling through the fingers or tines of a fork. Thyme retains its flavour on drying better than many other herbs.</p> <p></p>

The taste of mustard ranges from sweet to spicy.</p> <p><span>Commonly paired with meats and cheeses, mustard is also added to </span>sandwiches<span>, </span>hamburgers<span>, </span>corn dogs<span>, and </span>hot dogs<span>.

That civilization existed until about 1800 BC.</p> <p>The Romans were probably the first to experiment with the preparation of mustard as a condiment. They mixed unfermented grape juice (the must) with ground mustard seeds (called <i>sinapis</i>) to make "burning must", <i>mustum ardens</i> — hence "must ard". A recipe for mustard appears in <i>De re coquinaria</i>, the anonymously compiled Roman cookbook from the late fourth or early fifth century; the recipe calls for a mixture of ground mustard, pepper, caraway, lovage, grilled coriander seeds, dill, celery, thyme, oregano, onion, honey, vinegar, fish sauce, and oil, and was intended as a glaze for spit-roasted boar.</p> <p>The Romans likely exported mustard seed to Gaul, and by the 10th century, monks of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris absorbed the mustard-making knowledge of Romans and began their own production. The first appearance of mustard makers on the royal registers in Paris dates back to 1292. Dijon, France, became a recognized center for mustard making by the 13th century. The popularity of mustard in Dijon is evidenced by written accounts of guests consuming 320 litres (70 imp gal) of mustard creme in a single sitting at a gala held by the Duke of Burgundy in 1336. In 1777, one of the most famous Dijon mustard makers, Grey-Poupon, was established as a partnership between Maurice Grey, a mustard maker with a unique recipe containing white wine; and Auguste Poupon, his financial backer. Their success was aided by the introduction of the first automatic mustard-making machine. In 1937, Dijon mustard was granted an <i>Appellation d'origine contrôlée</i>. Due to its long tradition of mustard making, Dijon is regarded as the mustard capital of the world.</p> <p>The early use of mustard as a condiment in England is attested from the year 1390 in the book <i>The Forme of Cury</i> which was written by King Richard II's master cooks. It was prepared in the form of mustard balls—coarse-ground mustard seed combined with flour and cinnamon, moistened, rolled into balls, and dried—which were easily stored and combined with vinegar or wine to make mustard paste as needed. The town of Tewkesbury was well known for its high-quality mustard balls, originally made with ground mustard mixed with horseradish and dried for storage, which were then exported to London and other parts of the country, and are even mentioned in William Shakespeare's play <i>King Henry the Fourth, Part II</i>.</p> <p>The use of mustard as a hot dog condiment is said to have been first seen in the US at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, when the bright-yellow French's mustard was introduced by the R.T.

It is cultivated worldwide as a semiarid crop. Its seeds and its leaves are common ingredients in dishes from </span>South<span> and </span>Central Asia<span>.</span></span></p> <p>Fenugreek is believed to have been brought into cultivation in the Near East. While Zohary and Hopf are uncertain which wild strain of the genus <i>Trigonella</i> gave rise to domesticated fenugreek, charred fenugreek seeds have been recovered from Tell Halal, Iraq (carbon dated to 4000 BC), and Bronze Age levels of Lachish and desiccated seeds from the tomb of Tutankhamen. Cato the Elder lists fenugreek with clover and vetch as crops grown to feed cattle.</p> <p>In one first-century A.D. recipe, the Romans flavoured wine with fenugreek. In the 1st century AD, in Galilee, it was grown as a food staple, as Josephus mentions it in his book, the <i>Wars of the Jews</i>.</p> <p>Fenugreek is used as a herb (dried or fresh leaves), spice (seeds), and vegetable (fresh leaves, sprouts, and microgreens). Sotolon is the chemical responsible for fenugreek's distinctive sharp smell.</p> <p>Cuboid-shaped, yellow- to amber-coloured fenugreek seeds are frequently encountered in the cuisines of the Indian subcontinent, used both whole and powdered in the preparation of pickles, vegetable dishes, dal, and spice mixes such as <i>panch phoron</i> and <i>sambar</i> powder. They are often roasted to reduce bitterness and enhance flavour.</p> <p>Fresh fenugreek leaves are an ingredient in some curries, such as with potatoes in cuisines of the Indian subcontinent to make "aloo methi" ("potato fenugreek") curry. Sprouted seeds and fenugreek greens are used in salads. When harvested as greens, fenugreek is known as <i>samudra methi</i> in Maharashtra, especially in and around Mumbai, where it is often grown in sandy tracts near the sea, hence the name <i>samudra</i>, "ocean" in Sanskrit. <i>Samudra methi</i> is also grown in dry river beds in the Gangetic plains. When sold as a vegetable, the young plants are harvested with their roots still attached and sold in small bundles in the markets and bazaars. Any remaining soil is washed off to extend their shelf life.</p> <p>In Turkish cuisine, fenugreek seeds are used for making a paste known as <i>çemen</i>. Cumin, black pepper, and other spices are added into it, especially to make <i>pastırma</i>. In Persian cuisine, fenugreek leaves are called <i>shanbalile</i>. They are the key ingredient and one of several greens incorporated into <i>ghormeh sabzi</i> and <i>eshkeneh</i> as common Iranian dishes.</p> <p>In Egyptian cuisine, peasants in Upper Egypt add fenugreek seeds and maize to their pita bread to produce <i>aish merahrah</i>, a staple of their diet. Fenugreek is used in Eritrean and Ethiopian cuisine. The word for fenugreek in Amharic is <i>abesh</i> (or <i>abish</i>), and the seed is used in Ethiopia as a natural herbal medicine in the treatment of diabetes.</p> <p>Yemenite Jews following the interpretation of Rabbi Shelomo Yitzchak (Rashi) believe fenugreek, which they call <i>hilbeh, hilba, helba</i>, or<i>halba </i>"חילבה", to be the Talmudic <i>rubia</i> "רוביא". When the seed kernels are ground and mixed with water they greatly expand; hot spices, turmeric and lemon juice are added to produce a frothy relish eaten with a sop. The relish is also called <i>hilbeh</i>; it is reminiscent of curry. It is eaten daily and ceremonially during the meal of the first and/or second night of the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashana.</p> <p>In traditional medicine, fenugreek is thought to promote digestion, induce labour, and reduce blood sugar levels in diabetics, although the evidence that fenugreek has any therapeutic worth is lacking.</p> <p>In herbalism, fenugreek is thought to increase breast milk supply in nursing mothers. This is not supported by good medical evidence and fenugreek intake is not recommended for this purpose.Fenugreek is sometimes used as animal feed. It provides a green fodder palatable to ruminants. The seeds are also used to feed fish, domestic rabbits and ruminants.</p>

<h2><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Red curry - a spice that destroys cancer</strong></span><br /><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong><span style="color:#d0121a;">The price is for packaging of 10 grams of this spice.</span></strong></span></h2> <p><b>Curry</b> (plural <b>curries</b>) is a variety of dishes originating in the Indian subcontinent that use a complex combination of spices or herbs, usually including ground turmeric, cumin, coriander, ginger, and fresh or dried chilies. Curry is generally prepared in a sauce. Curry dishes prepared in the southern states of India, where the word also originated, may be spiced with leaves from the curry tree.</p> <p>There are many varieties of dishes called 'curries'. For example, in original traditional cuisines, the precise selection of spices for each dish is a matter of national or regional cultural tradition, religious practice, and, to some extent, family preference. Such dishes are called by specific names that refer to their ingredients, spicing, and cooking methods.Spices are used both whole and ground, cooked or raw, and they may be added at different times during the cooking process to produce different results. The main spices found in most curry powders of the Indian subcontinent are coriander, cumin, and turmeric. A wide range of additional spices may be included depending on the geographic region and the foods being included (fish, lentils, red or white meat, rice, and vegetables). Curry powder, a commercially prepared mixture of spices, is largely a Western creation, dating to the 18th century. Such mixtures are commonly thought to have first been prepared by Indian merchants for sale to members of the British Colonial government and army returning to Britain.</p> <p>Dishes called 'curry' may contain fish, meat, poultry, or shellfish, either alone or in combination with vegetables. Additionally, many instead are entirely vegetarian, eaten especially among those who hold ethical or religious proscriptions against eating meat or seafood.</p> <p>Curries may be either 'dry' or 'wet'. Dry curries are cooked with very little liquid which is allowed to evaporate, leaving the other ingredients coated with the spice mixture. Wet curries contain significant amounts of sauce or gravy based on broth, coconut cream, coconut milk, dairy cream, legume purée, sautéed crushed onion, tomato purée or yogurt.</p>

Like "curry rice" in Japan and Korea, and a variety of mild Chinese "curry" dishes, it is the result of the influence of British naval cuisine, disseminated across Asia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries due to British military presence. This curry, while rich in dried spices, contains relatively less chilli, hence its popularity on menus outside Thailand. It originally incorporated the quintessential Anglo-Indian invention, curry powder, into the traditional curry paste (chiles, garlic, shallots, lemongrass, cilantro roots, galanga). The primary spices in <i>kaeng kari</i> are cumin, coriander, turmeric, fenugreek, garlic, salt, bay leaf, lemongrass, cayenne pepper, ginger, mace and cinnamon. Sometimes a touch of palm sugar or a similar sweetener will be added, depending on the sweetness of the coconut milk.</p><p></p><p>Thai yellow curry is most typically made with chicken or beef and a starchy vegetable, most often potatoes, but it can be made with duck, tofu, shrimp, fish, or vegetables and is eaten with steamed rice or round rice noodles known as <i>khanom chin</i>.</p><p></p><script type="text/javascript"></script>
