Cardamom is not just a versatile spice that goes well with foods as varied as tea and stew, savory meat and fish, and sweets and cakes, but it also has myriad health benefits to offer. Found in two types, a small green variety ( Elettaria cardamomum) and a large black variety ( Amomum subulatum) , cardamom has been long recommended by ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine for a number of ailments ranging from the common cold to erectile dysfunction. 1 Ayurveda considers cardamom a tridoshic remedy, which means it can balance the three doshas, namely kapha, pitta, and vata. As per ayurvedic philosophy, all diseases arise from imbalances in these three doshas. From the nutritional viewpoint, cardamom has a good amount of dietary fiber, with just 2 grams of the ground spice meeting 2% of our daily fiber requirement. That apart, it can provide some amount of potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, and vitamin C. However, we get these nutrients only in minute quantities since we usually do not have more than 2 tablespoons of cardamom powder in a day. 2 In addition to this, it has several antioxidants in the form of terpenes and flavonoids that give it a moderate ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) value of 2764 – the ORAC value indicates how effective a substance is in fighting free radicals. 3 Cardamom’s antioxidant power is enhanced when it is combined with other antioxidative herbs like turmeric and cloves. Here’s a look at the benefits of cardamom. 1. Treats Cold And...

What You Will Learn • • • • • • • • • • • What is Cardamom? Cardamom is a spice made from the seeds of two different species in the genera Elettaria and Amomum in the family Zingiberaceae. The spice is made from the seeds which are found in small, thin pods. The pods have triangular cross section and a paper-like outer covering. Before we get too far, let’s chat about color. This article focuses on E lettaria cardamomum, commonly called green cardamom. You may have also heard of black cardamom, which comes from Amomum subulatum or Lanxangia tsaoko (formerly known as Amomum tsao-ko), and white cardamom, which usually refers to a bleached form of the green variety. Here we’ll concentrate on the green version, which is often included on lists of the most expensive spices because of its labor-intensive commercial harvesting process. E. cardamomum is a 5- to 10-foot-tall forest-dwelling plant that thrives in partial shade. As you might have guessed from our earlier allusion to its tropical nature, it can be grown as an outdoor perennial only in The clumping plant, with rigid and erect stems featuring leaves that are up to 2 feet long, regrows each year from large underground rhizomes.

Green cardamom is the third most expensive spice in the world, after saffron and vanilla. Just 100 grams of the spice can cost about $9. That’s about $90 for a kilogram. But getting that little bit of cardamom requires a lot of work. Harvesters need to collect 6 kilograms of raw pods by hand to produce just 1 kilogram of green cardamom. But just because several pods from the same tree are ripe doesn’t mean they all will be. This is why each pod must be plucked by hand. So why is it so hard to grow green cardamom? And is that what makes it so expensive? For more information, visit https://www.westernghatsspices.in/.
