About Cardamom
Cardamom, often referred to as the "Queen of Spices," is a fragrant spice native to India and a key ingredient in South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Scandinavian cuisines. Its small green pods contain seeds with a warm, slightly sweet, and citrusy flavor, commonly used in curries, chai tea, baked goods, and savory dishes. Packed with antioxidants, cardamom has potential health benefits such as supporting digestion, reducing inflammation, and promoting fresh breath. It contains essential nutrients like magnesium, calcium, and potassium, though typically consumed in small quantities. Alongside its rich flavor, it’s believed to support respiratory health and may have mild diuretic properties. For most people, cardamom is a healthy addition to the diet when used as a spice, though excessive use in concentrated forms, like extracts or supplements, should be moderated. Its versatility and health-promoting qualities make it a pantry staple worldwide.
