@@benedicta.asare_ it's around community 18, but most markets will have all of them..you just have to find the spice sellers 😄
@@PerpetualAsiamah Riight, thanks!
Thanks ma'am... But I want to ask. Is it okay to wash these spices before blending them?
I don't wash them to be honest, but you can...
Just make sure it's really really dry before blending it or it will turn into a paste, and also I'd refrigerate it just in case there's left over moisture- so it doesn't go bad
Wediaba and nwintia is perfect for jollof
Oh really? Thanks so much for sharing!! Definitely going to try it😄🥰

Please can one use star anise in preparing soup, stew etc and how do you use it. Thanks
Hello! Depending on the amount of soup you are making, one may be enough. I place one whole one; I usually place It in when I'm steaming the meat, and I remove it before adding the rest of my ingredients. It can be overpowering so that's why I remove it early and that way it is easier to find and remove too.

Hello, Ms,
I am new here.
I have the impression that these spices are all natural, therefore without side effects.
Is this very true, and is it OK to use a mixture of as many different kinds of these in a single meal? Else how can one avoid abusing this stuff?
Thanks.
Well I am impressed with the content of this video.
Keep it up🙏🏽
Hiiii....welcome! all these spices are natural..yes! And yes you can use different types of spices together in one meal. I believe in moderation....a little goes a long way. Using 1/4 of a teaspoon or half a teaspoon is a good start, depending on the quantity of food you are making, and adjust accordingly. I have another spice video where I show the type of combination I use for different foods 🥰
@@PerpetualAsiamah Thanks, Ms.
