  • Tips for Cooking with Coriander / Cilantro Russian Green Bean Salad
    Recipes Tips for Cooking with Coriander / Cilantro • Gently heat seeds in a dry pan until fragrant before crushing or grinding to enhance the flavor. • Crush seeds using a mortar and pestle or grind seeds in a spice mill or coffee grinder. • Seeds are used whole in pickling recipes. • Cilantro is best used fresh as it loses flavor when dried. • Clean cilantro bunches by swishing the leaves in water and patting dry. • For the best color, flavor and texture, add cilantro leaves towards the end of the cooking time. • The stems have flavor too, so tender stems may be chopped and added along with the leaves. • Store cilantro stem in a glass of water in the refrigerator, with a loose plastic bag over the top.

  • Tolerance of Vegetable Crops to Salinity M.C
    Scientia Horticulturae 78 (1999) 5±38 Tolerance of vegetable crops to salinity M.C. Shannon*, C.M. Grieve U.S. Salinity Laboratory, Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, 450 W. Big Springs Road, Riverside, CA 92507, USA Abstract Global constraints on fresh water supplies and the need to dispose of agricultural, municipal, and industrial waste waters have intensified interest in water reuse options. In many instances, the value of the water is decreased solely because of its higher salt concentration. Although quantitative information on crop salt tolerance exists for over 130 crop species, there are many vegetables which lack definitive data. Vegetable crops are defined as herbaceous species grown for human consumption in which the edible portions consist of leaves, roots, hypocotyls, stems, petioles, and flower buds. The salt tolerance of vegetable species is important because the cash value of vegetables is usually high compared to field crops. In this review some general information is presented on how salinity affects plant growth and development and how different measurements of salinity in solution cultures, sand cultures, and field studies can be reconciled to a common basis. The salt tolerance of vegetables has been condensed and reported in a uniform format based on the best available data. Discrepancies and inconsistencies exist in some of the information due to differences in cultivars, environments, and experimental conditions. For a great number of species little or no useful information exists and there is an obvious need for research. Published by Elsevier Science B.V. Keywords: Salt tolerance; Ion composition Contents 1. Introduction ............................................................ 7 1.1.

When Do Herbs & Spices Give Up the Ghost? The good news is, spices do not spoil. The bad news is, they lose their strength. What is interesting is that a lot of cookbook writers tell you to purge your pantry once an herb or spice is about 6 months old. But the spice companies — among them behemoth McCormick and specialty spicer Penzeys — are not so reckless. They tell you to keep and use the spices as long as they appear to have flavor — and they trust you to be able to tell! Stored in an airtight container, in a cool, dry place, spices retain their potency longer than you'd think — as long as 4 years for whole spices, 2 to 3 years for ground spices, and 1 to 3 years for leafy herbs, depending on the herb.

Stinging on the tongue. Alluring and provocative. - Accentuates and focuses flavor. - Ex. sea salt, Kosher salt, Fleur de Sel, rock salt, Celtic sea salt, table salt Fennel salad with feta, pomegranate seeds, and sumac * We tasted each ingredient individually and discovered how they fit into the five flavor profiles.

  • Don't Pass the Salt! Low Sodium Seasoning Guide
    Don’t Pass the Salt! Low Sodium Seasoning Guide 1. Resist the urge to use salt in cooking or using the salt shaker. One teaspoon of salt is equal to 2,300 mg of sodium. 2. Use spices and herbs to flavor your foods to add interest and variety. 3. Herb Blends These herb blends can be found in your local store to add flavor to the foods you enjoy. Be sure to check the label to be sure they do not contain salt or sodium on the list of ingredients. How to cook with herbs and spices: Finding “Hidden” salt on a label To release more flavor and Sodium benzoate (a aroma, finely chop fresh herbs preservative) before using in the recipe. Try using kitchen shears. Sodium nitrate (a preservative used in processed meats) Add herbs and spices at the end of the cooking time in soups and Bicarbonate of soda or baking stews. That way the flavors soda won’t cook out. Sodium pyrophosphage Add herbs and spices several hours before serving a cold dish, Monosodium glutamate such as salads and dips.
