It's all about how you use them in a way that brings out the flavor of fresh ingredients. There are many ways to enhance the natural flavor of your dishes, from fresh herbs to spice racks.
Here are some ways you can get started in the kitchen.
Cook with your Tastebuds and Your Nose
In healthy recipes, start with aromatic ingredients like ginger, garlic and mint. You should also understand the role of these ingredients in your favorite ethnic cuisines' flavor profiles so that you can create or recreate a dish with similar flavors.
Start with Quality Ingredients
Fresh fruits and veggies give your dish a head start. Produce from the local farmers' market is more likely to be in season and will taste better.
Our Olive Oil experts recommend that certain fruits be kept at room temperature. This is for the best flavor. Their sweet flavor will be muted by refrigeration.
Stock up on the Kitchen
Next, organize your kitchen. Keep that pantry stocked. You are more likely to make healthy, delicious meals at home than to go to a restaurant if you have all the ingredients you need. To add a splash of flavor to your dishes, you can use high-quality olive, nut and truffle oils.
Only a Small Sum
If you are trying to reduce sodium, our Olive Oil experts suggest that you use a tiny amount of finishing salt after cooking. A tiny pinch of flaky sea salt, such as Maldon salt, will give your dish an intense salty pop. Or you can try truffle salt to add umami flavor.
Spices and Herbs: Maximize Flavor
You can add a little flavor to your dishes with dried herbs or spices. Did you know herbs and spices are rich in potent antioxidants? Our Olive Oil experts recommend that you use turmeric, cinnamon and cloves in your cooking.
You can also add saltless enhancements to your dishes with rosemary, garlic powder and chile. You can also flavor meat with dry rubs or marinades. Smoked paprika, smoked salt or chipotle chili can be used to give meat a smokey flavor.
