Cardamom Powder
Cardamom Powder
Scientific Name: Elettaria cardamomum
Preparation: Powder
Place of Origin: Guatemala
Known as the “queen of spices,” cardamom has a warm, sweet-spicy aroma and flavor. The pods grow on a tropical shrub in the ginger family native to southern India and Sri Lanka and must be selectively harvested by hand just before they open. Each small, papery pod contains a dozen or more dark brown, aromatic seeds that are ground into a convenient powder.
Ground cardamom is widely used in Indian, Persian, Turkish, and Arabic cuisines and is found in spice blends like garam masala, baharat, and ras el hanout. The flavor complements sweets and desserts as well, and in Scandinavia, cardamom powder is popular in baked goods like cakes, cookies, and pastries. Whole green cardamom pods, which are traditionally used to flavor Turkish coffee, are also available.
As a mild stimulant, the warming spice was historically used in love potions as an aphrodisiac. Nowadays, medicinally, cardamom is more commonly used as a stomach soother and as a natural, effective treatment for bad breath.
