Beschreibung
Cardamom the queen of spices is revered in southern India. Cardamom is also increasingly valued in the West. As it was thousands of years ago, cardamom is valued for its unique aroma and is one of the most expensive spices after saffron and vanilla.
Cardamom from South India is the best quality, as cardamom still grows wild in the damp mountain forests there. The spice plant belongs to the ginger family and, unlike ginger or turmeric, has a cooling effect and brings with it its very own aroma.
