In traditional herbalism, the aromatic spice is also a well-known digestive aid and warming circulatory tonic.The unique flavor of Cardamom is described as a “hint of clove, the spiciness of Ginger with overtones of vanilla and citron”. It’s this tantalizing essence that makes Cardamom a popular ingredient in everything from coffee, to curries, to desserts andeven ice cream.
