You can also eat the healthiest and most precious food in the world, but if you don’t prepare it and cook it well it won’t give you nourishment and substance, but it will turn into toxins.

Cooking food well means respecting cooking times, soaking times in the case of legumes, cereals, oil seeds and dried fruit, using only safe pots and utensils, using the right condiments, and so on.

In this article we will deal with a basic topic in the field of “cooking well”, the first to be put into practice: the use of spices in the kitchen.

It seems incredible how much this food category, which everyone believes is used only to give more taste to foods, has an extraordinary power.

In fact, spices are not only the creative note in your kitchen, but also have an important function on digestion, because they activate the metabolism, make each dish more digestible and improve elimination.

In addition, each spice has qualities and targeted actions, just add them to your dishes to receive all the benefits. In short, they are like a medicine that costs nothing.

In this article we will talk about the spices to use daily in the kitchen because they are very beneficial as well as delicious.

TURMERIC

Turmeric is a detoxifying tonic that can purify blood. It is good for the liver and is very suitable for preserving the intestinal bacterial flora. It is anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, makes the skin beautiful and “slows down” aging. You can use it in all the dishes you prepare (cereals, proteins and vegetables), a teaspoon is enough.

CUMIN SEEDS

Cumin seeds promote digestion, improve the taste of food and stimulate the secretion of gastric juices. They are particularly suitable for the preparation of cereals, legumes and soups.

CARDAMOM

Great for toning the heart, promoting better digestion of all foods and strengthening sight and eyes. It is recommended for long cooking (soups, legumes, and cereals).

You can put it at the beginning of the cooking cereals, whole, and remove it at the end of cooking, after it has given all its substances to the cooking water.

If you want to consume it directly, you will have to cut the berry, extract the small and hard black seeds and put them on the food to consume them directly.

CORIANDER

Coriander eliminates the stagnation of liquids. It has almost the same function as turmeric, but it has a more intense flavour, so it is preferable to use it in powder (you can find it at avonagro.com).

You can use a bit of a teaspoon, especially when cooking vegetable soups. It is used in cereals, soups, vegetables and also in cooking meat.
