It's not the most popular spice in the ginger family, but it has fantastic health benefits.
What are the benefits of cardamom
It contains many antioxidants, including glutathione, which removes heavy metals and accelerates recovery from viral diseases.
The substances slow down aging and reduce the risk of chronic diseases and cancer.
In traditional medicine, due to the abundance of essential oil and other beneficial substances in its composition, cardamom is used to treat various diseases such as stomach problems, respiratory diseases (such as asthma), infections and heart problems.
Due to the presence of manganese in cardamom, the use of this spice helps the thyroid gland synthesize thyroxine, promotes the functioning of the reproductive system, and normalizes digestive processes.
How to eat cardamom correctly
The spice has a pungent taste with a lemony tint. Green cardamom imparts a zesty, citrusy flavor that can be both spicy and sweet.
Black cardamom has an almost smoky, minty, menthol flavor that works especially well in savory dishes.
White cardamom has a milder taste.
To do this, you need to open the “box” and take out the cardamom seeds.
They can then be ground in a mortar, or if you are grinding a lot of cardamom - about 2-3 tablespoons - use a coffee grinder.
