Cardamom
Cardamom is a spice that comes from the seeds of plants belonging to the ginger family. These seeds are found inside small pods, which are harvested and used for their strong, fragrant flavour. Cardamom is a popular ingredient in many sweet and savoury dishes, adding a unique and aromatic taste.
To make cardamom ready for use, the pods are typically dried and the seeds inside are ground into a fine powder. This powder is what you commonly find in spice jars or used in cooking. The process of grinding the seeds releases the intense flavour, making it easier to incorporate into recipes.
Cardamom appears on food labels because it adds a warm, slightly spicy and citrusy flavour to dishes. It is a versatile spice used in both sweet treats like cakes and cookies, as well as savoury dishes like curries and stews. You might also find cardamom in products like chai tea, where it contributes to the rich and aromatic taste.
