kaffir lime
It may be wrinkly and bumpy, but with its blast of citrusy flavor, it’s as sassy as they come.
galangal
Meet ginger’s cousin – and your new wingman. This gnarly fellow not only makes your breath fresh, but is even rumored to be an aphrodisiac!
cumin
This slender-stemmed wonder is a kitchen favorite. In old times some even believed that it could keep lovers and chickens from straying!
holy basil
Don’t let the name fool you – holy basil is no angel. Its devilishly spicy, peppery taste is perfect for stir-fries and soups.
ginger
Is it a medicine? A delicacy? A spice? All of the above!
coconut milk
Another worker bee in the Thai kitchen that keeps our minds sharp and strengthens our bones.
coriander
Though it’s constantly watching its back – we use every shred of its roots, stems, leaves and seeds – coriander is said to relieve anxiety. Go figure.
clove
Who wouldn't like clove? Not only does it sooth our tummies, its aroma puts us in a festive mood!
palm sugar
Though it can be eaten as candy, don’t feel guilty. There’s no harm here, just sweetness.
tamarind
Sometimes sweet, sometimes sour, but often the head honcho in many of our dishes.
chili
Some like it hot, some like it chili. Prepare your taste buds for a good kick in the pants.
lemongrass
This is definitely not the lemon among grasses. Au contraire – it’s the little herb that can.
