What is Cardamom?

One of the world’s oldest spices, cardamom is an herbaceous member of the ginger family native to India. It yields paper-like skinned pods and lively green leaves. Its pods contain black seeds that are used in traditional wellness and culinary practices and have been valued for centuries.

It is considered one of the world’s oldest spices. In fact, evidence of cardamom’s use dates back 4,000 years to ancient Egypt, where it was used in wellness traditions and spiritual rituals. The ancient Greeks and Romans used the herb topically and in perfumery. It has been incorporated into countless recipes in Scandinavia dating back to the Vikings, who brought the aromatic spice with them upon leaving Constantinople.
