Cardamom is rightfully considered the true "queen of spices." For centuries, it has been used to enhance the taste of various dishes and in medicine. Many people also use it to fight extra pounds. Why is it so effective? Find out.

Cardamom and its health benefits

Cardamom is regarded as one of the most expensive spices in the world. This is due not only to its rather complicated production process but also to its globally recognized health benefits.

This spice is a true wealth of antioxidants. Additionally, it has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and even antiviral properties. However, it is most often mentioned in the context of its effect on speeding up the body's metabolism. It excellently supports the process of burning calories and fat, which is why it is often used for weight loss.

Furthermore, cardamom also contains valuable nutrients, including vitamins and minerals that influence our well-being, vision, and even heart function.

It is worth remembering, however, that consuming this spice may sometimes not be enough. An appropriate and balanced diet, as well as regular physical activity, are equally important.

How to use cardamom?

Cardamom is one of those spices that works perfectly with various dishes, including meat and vegetarian options. It can be used in soups, vegetable dishes, and especially in oriental cuisine.

Many people recommend adding a few grains to coffee or tea to give it a slight spiced flavour. Cardamom can also be successfully incorporated into oatmeal or your favorite smoothie.
