Green cardamom spice botanical name is Elettaria Cardamomum which is actually a plant name from where we get these cardamom seeds. It is the second most expensive spice or herb after saffron and its plant can be found in South Indian and Guatemala regions. After being plucked, the pods are carefully washed and dried. Inside each pod are small tiny seeds, which are known as cardamom seeds. Cardamom has strong antioxidants. It has also been known to have a diuretic effect. It also promotes urination to remove water build-up that can cause higher blood pressure. Cardamom is also known to reduce the extreme acidity of many foods. The pods are added whole to recipes or sometimes crushed to expose the seeds. Cardamom is native to India where it adds its enticing flavor to spice blends, curries, rice pilafs and chai. Across the globe in Scandinavia, cardamom is used as a baking spice in cakes, cookies and buns. Add the pods to stews, pickling and mulling spices, custards for rice pudding and ice cream, and syrups for beverages.
