CARDAMOM ORGANIC POWDER

Cardamom is the fruit of a large perennial bush that grows wild in the rainforest of southern India; a closely related variety grows in Sri Lanka. Both are cultivated in their regions of origin, and in Tanzania, Vietnam and Guatemala, that is now the world’s largest producer.

Considered one of the world’s oldest spices, it was used in ancient Egypt for its medicinal properties – and even as a part of rituals and embalming. Cardamom has been used for culinary and medicinal purposes in India for more than 2,000 years. The spice was also famed among the ancient Greeks and Romans, who valued its qualities as a perfume and digestive aid. Around 60% of all cardamom is consumed in Arab countries, where it is a key ingredient of gahwa, a fragrant coffee served as a symbol of hospitality. 

Organic cardamom is a diuretic and powerful antioxidant, promoting normal liver and digestive functioning. It also aids in diabetes treatment and helps people cope with depression.
