Cardamom

Cardamom is an aromatic spice used across South Asian, Middle Eastern and Scandinavian cuisines — prized for its floral, citrusy and resinous notes in dishes from curries and chai to baked goods. It comes as small green or larger black pods whose seeds are used whole or ground. Nutritionally, Cardamom is notable for being a concentrated source of dietary fiber (28g per 100g) and some trace minerals such as manganese and copper, so small amounts add flavor plus micronutrients without much fat. Beyond its macronutrients, cardamom contains volatile oils and polyphenolic compounds that contribute antioxidant and digestive-supporting effects, which helps explain its traditional use for flavoring as well as soothing mild digestive discomfort.
