Cardamom is a fragrant and versatile spice derived from the seeds of the Elettaria cardamomum plant. With its distinct sweet, floral aroma and warm, slightly spicy flavor, cardamom is used in both sweet and savory dishes around the world.

From flavoring rich curries and rice dishes to adding a unique touch to desserts like cakes and pastries, cardamom is a favorite in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Scandinavian cuisines. Its health benefits include aiding digestion, promoting heart health, and acting as a natural breath freshener.
