]]> Chorizo is, without a doubt, one of the stars of Spanish cuisine. This bright red sausage is beloved when grilled, placed on top of huevos rotos, or blended into a special Spanish omelette. The flavor quotient of chorizo is off the charts, making it much more flavorful than many other sausages found around the world. But what gives it its amazing taste?

Paprika

The spice that gives chorizo its characteristic color and flavor is paprika. Made from crushed red peppers and smoked, you’ll find paprika in both sweet and spicy variants. Both are used in chorizo, creating some which are spicy and others which are sweeter. As such, it’s quite smoky and delicious.

Garlic

Spanish chorizo also always contains a bit of garlic, which isn’t as noticeable as the paprika but strengthens the sausage’s flavor backbone. Pungent, spicy, and a little bit sweet when cooked in the chorizo, this classic spice couldn’t miss the party.

Salt

It might go without saying, but salt is another key component of chorizo’s one-of-a-kind flavor. Used in generous quantities in this Spanish classic, the salt really brings out the flavor of the pork which is used to make the finished product.

Le spezie sono delle alleate non soltanto in cucina ma nella vita di tutti i giorni. Alcune spezie, più di altre, sono ricche di proprietà benefiche in grado di rafforzare il nostro sistema immunitario e di regolare i livelli del colesterolo e degli zuccheri nel sangue. Vediamo le nostre preferite: ✅Curcuma_ rafforza il sistema immunitario. Ha proprietà antinfiammatorie, antidolorifiche e antiossidanti. ✅Zenzero_favorisce la digestione ed aiuta l'organismo a depurarsi. Perfetto per la preparazione di tisane da assumere per la cura e la prevenzione di mal di gola, raffreddore e influenza. Contribuisce inoltre a ridurre la cellulite, i gonfiori e i ristagni acquosi, entrando di diritto tra le spezie brucia-grassi. ✅Peperoncino_stimola il metabolismo e la digestione. Grazie al suo contenuto in antiossidanti e capsaicina (vasodilatatore), viene usato per migliorare la circolazione. ✅Noce moscata_ è una spezia di solito sottovalutata. È interessante sapere che la noce moscata viene impiegata in omeopatia. Ad esempio, risulta utile in caso di pressione bassa e di reumatismi. Viene inoltre utilizzata per le malattie che colpiscono i bronchi e per i problemi di digestione. ✅Cumino_è una delle principali spezie della salute nell'Ayurveda, la medicina tradizionale indiana. È ricco di ferro ed è adatto alla stagione invernale, per via del suo potere riscaldante. È efficace nella riduzione del colesterolo e dei livelli degli zuccheri nel sangue. ✅Chiodi di garofano_sono ritenuti benefici dalla medicina naturale per alleviare i dolori legati all'artrite. Costituiscono un antibatterico naturale adatto per la preparazione di decotti e per l'impiego come collutorio. ✅Anice stellato_ ha importanti proprietà digestive e antidiarroiche. Dall'anice stellato si estrae l’acido shikimico usato per produrre farmaci antivirali. In virtù delle proprietà secretolitiche di cui l'olio essenziale di anice stellato è dotato, il suo utilizzo può essere utile in caso di infiammazioni delle vie respiratorie, tosse e catarro. #farmaciamuracapoterra #healthylifestyle #healthyfoodshare #spices #instagram #Repost @angela.galafate

Turmeric

This spice is used most often in Indian cooking, but you can put it in anything from health shakes to potatoes. It’s also a perfect natural dye if you want something to turn yellow, such as rice.

Paprika

This Spanish spice is used over everything, including Spanish octopus, but it is also essential for Middle Eastern cooking.

Allspice

Allspice is a really unique warm spice used a lot in Asian cooking. But, it is also essential to Cajun cuisine as well. You can get it pre-ground or in large seeds, both having a lot of flavor.

Cumin

Cumin is used in a lot of Mexican-American cooking, but can also be a great alleviating spice in Indian curries and African stews.
