India is the birthplace of green cardamom (Elettria Cardamomum), which has a vibrant green hue and a strong, fragrant taste. Curries, Chai tea, and other Asian and African spice blends, such as Chinese Five Spice and Arabic Seven Spice, all include cardamom. In Scandinavian sweet recipes like coffee cakes and pastries, cardamom is also employed. Chewing on Cardamom Pods sweetens breath and soothes upset stomachs.
Cardamom is mostly prepared by extracting the seeds from the pod and crushing them. For tea infusions, you may also put crushed pods and seeds in a cheesecloth bag.
