Description
Cardamom is a highly aromatic spice known for its unique blend of sweet and spicy flavors, derived from the seeds of the Elettaria or Amomum plants. Often referred to as the “Queen of Spices,” cardamom is widely used in both culinary and medicinal applications. It comes in two main varieties: Green Cardamom (the most common and widely used) and Black Cardamom, which has a smokier, more intense flavor.
In cooking, cardamom is used to enhance the flavors of sweet and savory dishes, from curries and rice dishes to desserts and beverages like chai tea and coffee. It is often used whole, in pods, or ground into a fine powder. Cardamom is also rich in essential oils and is known for its digestive and detoxifying properties, making it popular in traditional medicines and wellness practices.
With its vibrant flavor and versatility, cardamom is a prized ingredient in global cuisines, particularly in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Scandinavian cooking.
