Cardamom is one of the most valued spices in the world with an intense aromatic flavour used to bring out the best in both savoury and sweet dishes. Its eloquence, culinary magic and healing powers have earned it the title “Queen Of Spices”.
Cardamom comes in two varieties: green and brown. You'll also find white cardamom pods which have been bleached. Brown cardamom is much larger in size and has a smokier taste. We recommend using green cardamom, which possesses a more delicate flavor and aroma than the brown variety.

Cardamom works wonders in savory dishes. Next time you make a tomato-based sauce for chicken, throw a split cardamom seed and a stick of cinnamon into the mix. You'll end up with an intriguing dish that is not overly sweet at all.
In Ancient Rome, cardamom was prized as a breath freshener. Romans, along with ancient Egyptians and Greeks, used cardamom as a tooth cleaner after meals. You can do the same by skipping gum and chewing on a cardamom pod instead.
