Cardamom

Cardamom is a fine spice with an intense taste and sweet smell. The cardamom plant is a perennial and belongs to the ginger family. The plant originally comes from Asia, but is now also cultivated in other regions, particularly Latin America.
Cardamom is said to have healing properties in Ayurvedic and East Asian medicine. Cardamom is used, for example, for digestive complaints, but also for colds.
In the kitchen, the seeds of the fruit capsule are used in fine baked goods and desserts, in Asian dishes and also in the refinement of drinks, such as alcoholic drinks, flavored teas or coffees.
