Health Benefits of Cardamom
One of my friends has
driven my attention to cardamom seed; he is using it to releasing reflux. These seed-pods are being in use as a spice in both food
and drink as well as in medicine.
Both Elettaria and Amomum cardamom
types feature three-sided fruits (pods) with a thin, papery outer cover. Elettaria pods
are small and light green, while Amomum pods
are larger and dark brown, Cardamom is a herbaceous, perennial plant in the
ginger family.
The most common way to
use cardamom is in cooking or baking. It’s very multipurpose and often added to
Indian curries, stews and goulash as well as gingerbread cookies, bread, flat
bread, pancake and other baked goods.
These seeds have wide range of
nutritional values; they provide proteins, good dietary fats and fibres. This
seeds contain essential vitamins; vitamin C, vitamin B6, riboflavin, thiamine
and niacin. They hold important minerals as well like; potassium, calcium,
iron, manganese, phosphorous, magnesium, sodium and zinc.
Cardamom is an ancient remedy for treating bad breath and improving oral health. Antioxidants in
cardamom helps to fight cancer cells to attack tumours, and they also help to
lower blood pressure. Antioxidants, found in
abundance in cardamom also have anti-inflammatory effects. Cardamom has been used for thousands of years to help
with digestion. It is mixed with other spices to relieve nausea and vomiting.
Its great ability is to help ulcers.
