Useful kitchen notes, not medical claims.
This section stays culinary: storage, preparation, traditional context and practical use in cooking.
storage

Steam shortens the useful life of ground spices.
culinary

A short bloom in oil helps spice flavour settle into the dish.
preparation
Brew strong tea without boiling it flat
Strength comes from timing as much as quantity.
traditional
