Cardamom is one of the world’s very ancient spices. It is native to the East originating in the forests of the western ghats in southern India, where it grows wild. Today it also grows in Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Indo China and Tanzania. The ancient Egyptians chewed Cardamom seeds as a tooth cleaner; the Greeks and Romans used it as a perfume. Vikings came upon cardamom about one thousand years ago, in Constantinople, and introduced it into Scandinavia, where it remains popular to this day.
Cardamom is the fruit of the cardamom plant. The pods of the fruit contain many aromatic oils, which are beneficial for both digestion, and motility of the intestine. The seeds of the pod is removed and is consumed directly or a decoction is prepared.
It is known as Elaichi in Hindi. And the binomial name of it is Elettaria cardamomum.
