Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between whole spice blends and ground spice blends?
Whole spice blends contain unground spices that infuse flavour during cooking and can be removed or ground fresh. Ground spice blends are ready to use but lose potency faster. Whole spices retain aroma longer.
How do I use biryani whole spices?
Add biryani whole spice blend to rice whilst cooking for aromatic infusion. The whole spices can be left in for presentation or removed before serving. They release flavour during the cooking process.
Can I grind whole spice blends at home?
Yes, whole garam masala blends are designed to be dry roasted and ground fresh for maximum aroma. Use a spice grinder or mortar and pestle for best results.
How should I store whole spice mixes and blends?
Store in airtight containers away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Whole spice blends retain aroma and potency for 12-24 months when stored properly.
Are whole spice blends better than buying individual spices?
Whole spice blends offer convenience with pre-measured proportions for authentic flavour. Individual spices provide more control and customisation. Both have their place depending on your cooking needs and time available.
