Cardamom whole with peel, organic 50g

Cardamom, the queen of spices, is revered in South India. Cardamom is also increasingly appreciated in the West. As it was thousands of years ago, cardamom is valued for its unique aroma and is one of the most expensive spices after saffron and vanilla.

Cardamom from South India is the best quality, as cardamom still grows wild in the humid mountain forests there. The spice plant belongs to the ginger family and, unlike ginger or turmeric, has a cooling effect and has its own unique aroma.
