Cardamom is one of the oldest and most precious spices in the world after saffron and vanilla.
The spice comes from South India, Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Tanzania and Brazil.
It has a vivid, mild taste, that complements other herbs and curry seasonings.
How to use cardamom?
Cardamom is contained in many liquors and is also used in cakes, biscuits and milk desserts. In India, it is a popular ingredient in curries and meat dishes.
Whole brown cardamom is not used in sweets and desserts as it has a deeper, earthier flavour and a nutty aroma (as opposed to the sweeter pungent flavour of green cardamoms) and is used mainly in meat, vegetable and rice dishes.
