5 things about Cardamom that completely changed how I see this aromatic spice:
1️⃣ It's the 3rd most expensive spice in the world (behind only Saffron and Vanilla).
2️⃣ Hindu tradition says the goddess Lakshmi gifted it to humanity as a symbol of abundance.
3️⃣ In the Middle East, it's often added to coffee to counter the jitters – they call it “the antidote to caffeine.”
4️⃣ Chewing a few seeds after meals can bring instant digestive relief (this is why Indian restaurants often have them at the register).
5️⃣ It can clear brain fog AND calm anxiety at the same time (how does one plant do both?!)
Honestly, Cardamom has been sitting in most people’s spice cabinets this whole time and they have no idea what it can actually do!
Our new blog breaks down everything: its rich 3,000-year history; how to use it for digestion, mental clarity, and more; plus herbal and aromatic-inspired ways to work with it beyond just cooking.
