Cardamom (decorticated), Whole

Whole decorticated cardamom refers to the seeds of the cardamom pods (Elettaria cardamomum) that have been removed from their outer shells. These seeds are then dried and used whole in cooking and herbal preparations. Cardamom is a highly aromatic spice native to India and is known for its warm, slightly sweet flavor.

In traditional herbal medicine, cardamom seeds are believed to have digestive properties and are often used to alleviate indigestion, bloating, and gas. Cardamom is also used in culinary applications, particularly in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Scandinavian cuisines, to add flavor to both sweet and savory dishes. The whole decorticated cardamom seeds can be crushed or ground before use to release their full flavor and aroma. As with any herbal remedy, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional before using cardamom seeds, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have underlying health conditions.
