This was exactly what I needed thank you so much this video was perfect. I had fenugreek, dried Rosemary, fennel seeds my in law had brought from Gh and had no idea what they were lol thanks so much
I'm taking a cultural foods class in college and I'm needing to a presentation on African cuisine and this video was EXTREMELY helpful regarding spices! Being from America, almost all of those spices you showed I've only ever seen ground so this was a really cool experience! Thank you! :)
I love this a whole lot though some are difficult to find in my area. Also u can use the calabash something 😅 for stew. The aroma and taste is a miracle
@@asarewpatricia9040 @perpetual asiama Flaxseed is wr3wr3. You can use for soup which looks like Groundnut soup. It's a delicacy for especially ashanti men with some fufu. Try it with duck meat. 😋
@ComfortNyame-yg4hv hiii if you're in Ghana, the local markets have it, where they sell spices. If you're outside Ghana, grocery stores should have it (check the international food isles and spice isles- the brand Mccormick has star anise) 🥰
@@fadilabarrick8714 they actually do! Lol so far, the ladies I buy from at Texpo and Agbobloshie knew the names😄 and I hear then Nima spice ladies are amazing as well🥰🥰
You're welcome!! Thanks for watching! Rosemary, I'm not sure of the twi name, but, the market women know it as rosemary so it's easy to get if you are in Ghana; same goes for mint actually 😄🥰
I don't wash them to be honest, but you can... Just make sure it's really really dry before blending it or it will turn into a paste, and also I'd refrigerate it just in case there's left over moisture- so it doesn't go bad
Wow! I have really learnt a lot from this video, I have been dying to know the English names of some natural spices, and your video just did justice to that. Thanks dear for sharing.benyiwa loves you 😘 ❤
Great video, someone told me about a spice called Baza, they described it as being round in shape, but they don't know the english name, does anyone know the english name please.
Hello! Depending on the amount of soup you are making, one may be enough. I place one whole one; I usually place It in when I'm steaming the meat, and I remove it before adding the rest of my ingredients. It can be overpowering so that's why I remove it early and that way it is easier to find and remove too.
@@trdavid23 the market women know it by the name turmeric and you can label it when you get it, if you can't tell by the color alone...it's really smooth too
I enjoyed watching this and there are some stuffs l saw which l wish l could grab from the video 😂😂😂.
