WHOLE CARDAMON

Description

Cardamom is a spice found in Indian and Asian dishes. The scent of cardamom is very strong, so use it sparingly. We find lemony and peppery flavors (but not spicy) and a taste of pine sap. In the aftertaste, we can also find a slight minty flavor.

Calcium is found in considerable quantities in cardamom, it facilitates blood clotting, regulates the nervous system and heart rate. Calcium plays a key role in building and maintaining good bone and dental health.

The presence of magnesium in cardamom helps the proper functioning of muscles, nerves and intestines, it also reduces muscle aches and cramps.

Cardamom is found in Indian and Asian cuisine recipes, but also in gingerbread, in Turkish coffee or Indian tea (chai massala). Cardamom is easy to consume in herbal teas, and enhances the taste of fruits, vegetables and white meats. On meats, it goes very well with turmeric, ginger and lime.

It can be used in baking and to enhance the flavor of jams or compotes. It also flavors fruit and chocolate-based recipes such as cakes or chocolate mousses.
