About spices

Whole or ground spices sold by weight rather than in a supermarket jar. This pack is 250 g net. At the quantities below that is about 50 servings. That works out at S$2.50 per 100 g.

Also known as whole spices, dried spices.

What people use it for

Used in braises, curries, stocks and rice. Whole spices are toasted or fried at the start of a dish; ground goes in later.

How to prepare it

Toast whole spices in a dry pan for under a minute until they smell, then use. Ground spice loses its aroma fast once heated, so add it late.

Keeping it

Airtight and out of the light. Whole spices keep years, ground keeps months.

Questions people ask
