CARDAMOM
Cardamom is the ground seed of a tropical fruit in the ginger family
known as Elettaria cardamomum.
The seeds are found in oval shaped fruit
pods that are between 1/4 and 1inch long.
Traditional Ethnic
Uses
In India Cardamom is traditionally used in curry blends, and in
Scandinavian countries it is commonly added to breads; however, most of
the world's Cardamom crop is used in Arabic countries as a flavouring for
coffee.
Taste and Aroma
Cardamom has an intense, pungent, sweet flavour.
A Few Ideas
A small amount of Cardamom will add a tempting flavour to coffee cake,
Danish pastry, specialty breads, and apple pie.
Try Cardamom the Arabic
way and add a little to your ground coffee before brewing, then sweeten
and top with cream.
