Cardamom is characterized by an intense, resinous aroma and a unique flavor that enhances both sweet and savory dishes. In India, it is often added to desserts such as ice cream (kulfi), rice puddings, and meat dishes. It is also a popular ingredient in Masala Chai tea, giving it its distinctive aroma. In the Middle East, cardamom is used to flavor coffee, where it is ground with coffee beans to create a unique, rich blend. In Europe, green cardamom is a common addition to baked goods such as breads and cakes, enhancing their flavor and aroma. Cardamom has numerous health benefits – it accelerates metabolism, cleanses the body of toxins, aids digestion, and alleviates cold and flu symptoms. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, cardamom is an invaluable ingredient in Indian cuisine, especially in dishes like biryanis, pulao, and curries. To maintain its freshness, it is recommended to store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
