RE: Re: Cinnamon, Spices, Flavorings (was -- Building Bones)

I think that somewhere in the ether there are two curry recipes floating

about that I penned some 5 or 6 years ago... A curry pumpkin soup and a

balti recipe. Calorie for kcal..., I think the balti is still one of the

most nutrient dense and low cal. recipes in the CR files.

Baltis are easy, 'cause you can add just about anything to the sauce that

you want.

Cheers,

Hello and Spice Users ALL:

Yes, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger are the 4 best

of the sweet spices. They should be as fresh as possible.

A good-quality spice has listed on the container that it

comes in, an expiration date (expires approx 2 years after

manufacture). The finer the grind on a spice, the quicker

it loses its flavor. Old spices may be worthless, or even

harmful if they are old, or rancid, or have a foul taste,

or a bad smell.

Always use fresh spices. It makes a big difference.

*****Ditto the cinnamon. I have found it to be - in selected dishes

(oatmeal is a good example) - a very tasty sweetener. It does not

carry the " wallop " of sugar or high fructose corn syrup. But for

those of us who have gotten off the " sugar wagon, " the sweetness of

cinnamon is very noticeable and - in certain foods - very satisfying.
