Cardamom is a spice derived from the seed pods of various plants within the ginger family. The pods are spindle-shaped with a triangular cross-section, containing multiple small, black seeds. They can be used whole or ground. Different species produce pods that vary in color and size. Two main types exist: black cardamom and green cardamom. White cardamom is a bleached version of the latter. Green cardamom is commonly found in Nordic and Middle Eastern cuisine, while recipes from India and Asia often specify whether to use green or black cardamom.

How to use:

Cardamom is commonly used as a spice in its whole pod form or when the seeds have been released from the pod.

Hot Infusion:

To prepare dried herbs or flowers, combine 2-3 tablespoons with hot water in a cup or teapot. Cover and let it steep for 10-30 minutes to extract the active compounds, including antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins, flavonoids, and volatile oils. Strain and press out as much liquid as possible before serving.
