Cardamom comes from the fruit produced by the Elettaria cardamomum plant, and its flavour is citrusy with hints of eucalyptus. It is a popular spice in both sweet and savoury dishes, and can be found in Asian recipes, rice, desserts, etc. It’s also a typical ingredient in qahwa, a type of strong, bitter coffee that is a symbol of Arabic hospitality. Among its properties, it’s worth highlighting its stimulating effects that can keep us active. Due to its strong aroma and flavour, use it little by little at each step of the recipe.
