Nonfat dry milk |
| Powdered milk is a powder made from dried milk solids. Powdered milk has a far longer shelf life than liquid milk and does not need to be refrigerated due to its low moisture content. |
Radiatori |
 | Radiatori is pasta shaped like radiators. |
Radishes |
 | The radish is a root vegetable of the Brassicaceae family.
The most popular part for eating is the napiform taproot, although the entire plant is edible and the tops can be used as a leaf vegetable. The skin comes in a variety of colours. Most commonly known is the round, red-skinned variety. Other varieties may have a pink, white or grey-black skin. A large, round yellow-skinned variety has a subtle taste of lemon. |
Raisins |
 | Raisins are dried grapes. Raisins can be eaten raw or used in cooking and baking. Raisins are very sweet due to the high concentration of their sugars, and if they are stored for a long period the sugar crystallises inside the fruit. This makes the fruit gritty, but does not affect their usability. To decrystalise raisins, they can be soaked in liquid (alcohol, fruit juice, or boiling water) for a short period, dissolving the sugar.
In the United States, the term 'raisin' refers to any form of dried grape. California raisins – both the sun-dried dark naturals and the goldens – are made by drying Thompson Seedless grapes; dark naturals are sun dried, while goldens are treated with sulphur then flame dried. Another variety of seedless grape, the Black Corinth, is also sun dried to produce Zante currants, mini raisins that are much darker in colour and have a tart, tangy flavour. In Australia and other countries specific varieties are given separate names. In particular, in Australia raisins are largest, sultanas are intermediate, while currants are smallest. Alternately, sultanas are assumed to come from white/green grapes while raisins are believed to be produced from the red counterparts. |
Raw sugar |
| A minimally-processed light-brown sugar resembling coffee crystals. Often used for sprinkling because it is harder to dissolve than standard granulated sugar. |
Red curry paste |
 | Red curry is a popular Thai dish based on coconut milk base heated with red curry paste and fish sauce. Depending on the specific dish, red curry dishes include ingredients such as kaffir lime leaves, Thai eggplant, bamboo shoots, thai basil and some sort meat such as chicken, beef, pork or shrimp. Tofu can be substituted for a vegetarian option. It is worth noting, however, that the red curry paste itself almost always contains shrimp paste and is not normally suitable for vegetarians. |
Red pepper flakes |
 | Red pepper flakes are coarsely ground flakes of dried red chiles. |
Red snapper |
| The prized white meat of the red snapper is firm in texture, low in fat, mild and delicate in flavor. A meaty, all-purpose fish with edible skin.
Almost anything goes with this popular, versatile fish. Whole red snapper is excellent baked and stuffed, or poached and glazed (salmon- style). Fillets can be steamed, broiled, roasted, pan-fried, or (with a fish basket) grilled. Chunks can be added to stews and chowders (leave the skin on for a colorful touch).
Not all snapper is red snapper--be wary of fish market labels, which can be ambiguous. Look for whole fish with deep red fins and red backs fading into pinkish-silver bellies; check for healthy red gills (the fish should look alive). Choose fillets with red skin left on, as skinned fillets can easily come from other (less premium) kinds of snapper. White meat should be moist and reflective, free of gaping and drying. |
Red wine |
 | Wine is an alcoholic beverage resulting from the fermentation of grapes or grape juice. The word comes from the Latin vinum (related to Greek ?????) - referring to both wine and the vine. Wine-like beverages can also be made from other fruits or from flowers or grains. In this sense the word wine is used with a qualifier, for example, elderberry wine. The word wine by itself always means grape wine. This terminology is often defined by law. |
Relish |
 | A relish is a cooked or pickled sauce, usually made with vegetables or fruits, generally used as a condiment. It can be smooth or chunky, sweet or savory, hot or mild. |
