Horseradish http://www.theepicentre.com/Spices... , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... , Wasabi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... The chemical in wasabi that provides for its initial pungency is the volatile allyl isothiocyanate, which is produced by hydrolysis of natural rhizome thioglucosides (conjugates of the sugar glucose, and sulfur-containing organic compounds); the hydrolysis reaction is catalyzed by myrosinase and occurs on when the enzyme is released on cell rupture caused by maceration—e.g., grating—of the plant's rhizome.[7][8][9] The unique flavor of wasabi is a result of complex chemical mixtures from the broken cells of the rhizome, including those resulting from the hydrolysis—glucose, and other methylthioalkyl isothiocyanates:[10][11][12] 6-methylthiohexyl isothiocyanate, 7-methylthioheptyl isothiocyanate, and 8-methylthiooctyl isothiocyanate. Research has shown that such isothiocyanates inhibit microbe growth, perhaps with implications for preserving food against spoilage and suppressing oral bacterial growth.[13 , sort kimche http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes... , http://www.chow.com/food-ne... - Thomas Page
Mustard (condiment) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... Romans were probably the first to experiment with the preparation of mustard as a condiment. They mixed unfermented grape juice, known as "must", with ground mustard seeds (called sinapis) to make "burning must", mustum ardens — hence "must ard".[6] A recipe for mustard appears in Apicius (also called De re coquinaria), the anonymously compiled Roman cookbook from the late 4th or early 5th century; the recipe calls for a mixture of ground mustard, pepper, caraway, lovage, grilled coriander seeds, dill, celery, thyme, oregano, onion, honey, vinegar, fish stock, and oil, and was intended as a glaze for spit-roasted boar.[7] ... Mustard often has a sharp, pungent flavor, as mixing the ground seed with cold liquid allows the enzyme myrosinase which it contains to act on glucosinolates also present to make isothiocyanates, responsible for mustard's characteristic heat.[1] Homemade mustards are often far hotter and more intensely flavored than commercial preparations.[2] A strong mustard can cause the eyes to water, sting the palate and inflame the nasal passages and throat http://www.theepicentre.com/Spices... , http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop... , http://homecooking.about.com/od... , http://www.ayushveda.com/womens-... , http://www.articlerich.com/Article... , http://www.medicinal-herbs-and-spices.com/ , http://www.herbalextractsplus.com/mustard... Mustard seed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... Mustard seeds are the small round seeds of various mustard plants. The seeds are usually about 1 or 2 mm in diameter. Mustard seeds may be colored from yellowish white to black. They are important spices in many regional foods. The seeds can come from three different plants: black mustard (Brassica nigra), brown Indian mustard (B. juncea), and white mustard (B. hirta/Sinapis alba). The earliest reference to mustard in India is from the story of Buddha in the 5th century BCE. Gautama Buddha told the story of the grieving mother (Kisa Gotami) and the mustard seed. When a mother loses her only son, she takes his body to the Buddha to find a cure. The Buddha asks her to bring a handful of mustard seeds from a family that has never lost a child, husband, parent or friend. When the mother is unable to find such a house in her village, she realizes that death is common to all, and she cannot be selfish in her grief.[1] The Buddha also stated that if an individual were to pick a single mustard seed,every hundred years from a seven-mile cube worth of mustard seeds, then by the time the last seed is picked, the age of the world cycle would still continue (if a mustard seed is 3mm in diameter, then taking one seed every 100 years from a seven-mile cube of seeds, would take 936 quintillion years, 68 billion times the age of the universe)[2] The French have used mustard seeds as a spice since 800 AD, and it was among the spices taken by the Spanish on explorations throughout the fifteenth century. In the Quran, it is stated that the scales of justice will be established on the Day of Judgement, and no soul will suffer the least injustice. Even the equivalent of a mustard seed will be accounted for because God is the most efficient reckoner.[3] Jewish texts compare the knowable universe to the size of a mustard seed to demonstrate the world's insignificance and to teach humility.[citation needed] The great Jewish philosopher, Nahmanides, mentions the universe expanded from the time of its creation, in which it was the size of a mustard seed.[citation needed] In the Christian New Testament, the mustard seed is used by Jesus in the parable of the Mustard Seed as a model for the kingdom of God which initially starts small but grows to be the biggest of all garden plants. Faith is also spoken about in the context of a mustard seed.[4][5][6][7][8] , 4 -30 ( 1 tbs Dijon, 1/2 tsp tumeric, 1/2 tsp ground mustard powder, 1/4 tsp hot oriental mustard powder tweaking amounts upward ) - Thomas Page
Salsa is the Spanish term for sauce, and in English-speaking countries usually refers to the often tomato-based, hot sauces typical of Mexican cuisine, particularly those used as dips. There are many types of salsa which usually vary throughout Latin America.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... , “This salsa's made in New York City! New York City?
