What is Cardamom?

Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum), often referred to as the “Queen of Spices,” is a tropical perennial plant native to the Western Ghats of India. Renowned for its aromatic, slightly sweet flavor, cardamom is a staple in both culinary and medicinal traditions. The spice is derived from the seeds of the plant’s pods, which contain essential oils contributing to its distinct taste and health benefits.

Essential Nutrients in Every Pod

Cardamom is rich in bioactive compounds and nutrients, including:

Essential Oils – such as 1,8-cineole and α-terpinyl acetate, known for their aromatic and therapeutic properties.
Antioxidants – help protect cells from oxidative stress.
Potassium – supports heart health by helping to regulate blood pressure.
Magnesium – aids in muscle and nerve function.
Manganese – important for bone health and metabolism.
