Vyrtse cardamom whole

Origin

The aromatic spice is now found in cultivated form in many Asian countries as well as in Guatemala, Tanzania and Madagascar. However, cardamom originally comes from South India and Sri Lanka. Even in ancient times, cardamom was popular as a sought-after commodity. The ancient Romans and Greeks appreciated the spicy-sweet aroma of cardamom to enhance their food.

The green color of the cardamom spice is a sign of quality, as it means that the cardamom pods were harvested at the perfect time and therefore have the best possible aroma. The cardamom pods contain the green or black, slightly sticky seeds of the cardamom. The cardamom spice only develops its aroma when it is dried.

Uses

Cardamom can be used to infuse a spicy herbal tea from the capsules. To make oriental-style tea, pour 250 ml of boiling water over 3-4 cardamom pods and leave to infuse for 10 minutes. Then sweeten the tea with honey or sugar, depending on your preference.

For gingerbread spice: For a typical Christmas gingerbread spice mixture, roast cardamom pods, coriander seeds, cloves, allspice seeds and star anise in a pan. Then crush the mixture with cinnamon, ground ginger and mace in a mortar to a fine powder. Then store in an airtight container.

For chocolate strawberries: Carefully wash and pat dry the strawberries. Then remove the seeds from the caradamom spice capsules, crush in a mortar and add to the melted chocolate. Then dip the strawberries in the chocolate and leave to dry. The chocolate strawberries are best served cold.
