Cardamom (Seed)

Although this spice originated in the rainforests of India and Sri Lanka, today the highest quality cardamom is grown in Guatemala. Cardamom is a great compliment to both sweet and savory foods. In its native India, cardamom is often referred to as the “Queen of Spices” and is used in many types of curries, as well as Garam Masala.  It is also traditionally used to flavor Danish pastries, cakes, biscuits, custards and fruit dishes.  Cardamom has a light, fruity, refreshing flavor that is also great in pot roast and marinades.
