Frequently Asked Questions

What is cardamom and how is it used in cooking?

Cardamom is a spice made from the seeds of several plants in the Elettaria and Amomum genera. It's commonly used in both sweet and savory dishes, particularly in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Scandinavian cuisines. Cardamom can be used whole, ground, or as a part of spice blends to add a unique, aromatic flavor.

What are the health benefits of cardamom?

Cardamom is known for its potential health benefits, including aiding digestion, reducing nausea, and possessing anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It may also help with oral health by reducing bad breath and promoting healthy gums.

How should I store cardamom to maintain its freshness?

To keep cardamom fresh, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Whole cardamom pods retain their flavor longer than ground cardamom, so it's best to buy the whole pods and grind them as needed.
