Cardamom whole, without shell / Cardamomo inteiro sem casca, 50g

Cardamom is a popular spice in Asian cuisine. Cardamom also has a permanent place in Indian chai tea, which is becoming increasingly popular here.
Cardamom is sweet and has a fruity, refreshing spiciness surrounded by camphor and eucalyptus. Cardamom is used in cakes and pastries, in Christmas baking and in mulled wine.
Cardamom seeds mainly contain essential oils that stimulate the appetite and aid digestion. Like many aromatic, hot spices from the Orient, cardamom is also considered an aphrodisiac.
The seeds contain an essential oil that gives them a spicy, sweet and spicy aroma. Since it evaporates easily, you should prefer whole capsules to cardamom powder and only crush or grind the seeds when necessary.
