Organic Spices Liven Up Your Food

Every well-stocked kitchen, both home and commercial, needs a wide range of organic spces on hand for flavoring dishes. By always keeping a basic organic spices collection on hand, plus specialty organic spices that you use for certain recipes, you will never run out at the last minute or late at night, when it can be difficult to find a store open to replace them and when it can compromise the taste of the recipe you are preparing.

Many drinks and dishes call for organic spices such as allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cool autumn nights will find you making spiced hot apple cider, and this seasonal drink is often spiced with allspice. You can also use cinnamon in your favorite white or whole wheat bread recipe, to create a wonderful cinnamon toast for your morning breakfast. Nutmeg is delicious sprinkled on top of a latte coffee drink, and it is also wonderful to use a dash of it in a bechamel sauce, which is included in a host of dishes, such as moussaka, a Greek eggplant recipe.

With the harvest season in full swing, many people find great deals on cucumbers. In order to preserve them for wintertime treats, many choose to make pickles, and one of the main organic spices seasonings in pickles is dill weed. Wholesale herbs and spices such as dill weed are also commonly used in rice-filled stuffed grape leaves, and offer a refreshing piquant taste to the filling mixture. This is a wonderful finger food that is perhaps best enjoyed when served with a light white wine.

Other orgaic spices are used in a variety of ethnic cuisines, and many share the same spices. Restaurants featuring Italian, Mexican, French and Thai foods use wholesale organic spices because they are preparing foods that will be resold to the public, and thus they qualify for wholesale savings. An Italian Chicken Parmesan recipe will often make use of the wholesale organic spices rosemary, thyme, parsley and black pepper. Mexican salsas can be made from vine-ripe tomatoes, peppers, onions, and may include wholesale organic spices like chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper. The French restaurants are justifiably famous for their Tomato Tarts, with layers of cheese and sliced tomatoes cooked in a flaky pie crust. These might feature wholesale organic spices of salt, pepper, thyme and basil. Pad Thai is a favorite of Thai restaurant-goers, and it can be made with wholesale herbs and spices such as garlic and crushed red pepper flakes.
