Kamakura Spices Organic Cardamom Seeds 40g Additive-Free Pesticide-Free Spice Powder Curry Spice Set Tetra

[Product Description]

• ✅【Certified Organic JAS!】 Made with JAS-certified organic-grown cardamom from Guatemala. Cultivated without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, so you can use it safely in your daily cooking. Whole cardamom pods are used without removing the seeds from the pods, and are best added just before cooking. Whole cardamom is recommended because it retains aroma better; ground powder is easy to use by sprinkling, but the aroma can fade quickly, so proper storage is necessary. Removing the shell and crushing the seeds inside is more labor-intensive but ensures the aroma is preserved, and the shell can be easily peeled with scissors, making it user-friendly even for beginners. *Please note that the packaging design has changed. You may receive a different package, but the contents and quality remain the same, so please rest assured. • ✅【The Queen of Spices, Loved Since Ancient Times】 Known for its refreshing, elegant, and noble aroma, cardamom has long been called the “Queen of Spices.” When tasted, it offers a cooling, spicy, sweet, and exotic fragrance with citrusy notes. Green cardamom, in particular, is considered the highest quality and has been traded at high prices. In ancient Egypt, it was used as incense in temples during prayers, regarded as “sacred incense,” and has been loved by many for centuries. • ✅【Recommended Dishes Using Cardamom】 Cardamom is known for its refreshing, sweet aroma and has been used in various dishes. The most famous is curry, including chicken curry and Massaman curry. It is also used in Masala Chai, Biryani (a rice dish cooked with chicken and spices), and Bakteo (a popular Malaysian dish). In Nordic countries, a traditional sweet bread called Pulla features the noble aroma of cardamom, adding not only sweetness but also a distinctive fragrance. • ✅【Cardamom as Essential Oil】 Whole cardamom has a refreshing, spicy aroma and contains essential oil components. It includes 1,8-cineole, terpinenyl acetate, linalyl acetate, α-terpineol, and linalool, with 1,8-cineole making up about 30-40%. Its distinctive scent has earned it the nickname “King of Fragrance,” and it has been loved for its aromatic qualities. • ✅【History of Cardamom】 Cardamom is one of the oldest spices in the world. In India, it has been used as a medicinal herb in Ayurveda for over 1,000 years, and in China, it was used as a traditional medicine called Xiaozugun (小荳蒄) in herbal medicine.
