Interesting facts

Cardamom is a perennial herb from the ginger family (Zingiberaceae), which grows up to six meters tall and comes from southern India. Its history is fascinating. It is repeatedly mentioned in ancient Chinese medical writings and in Ayurveda. The ancient Egyptians added it to incense during religious rituals, and the ancient Roman scholar Pliny described it in mixtures with cloves and nutmeg. Today it is an essential part of Indian cuisine (curries) and, surprisingly, also of traditional Scandinavian pastries.
