Cardamom is well known as a spice used in Indian cooking, and is one of the primary constituents of Garam Masala. What many people dont realize is that cardamom is also medicinal, and helps relieve digestive problems induced by garlic and onion, making it more than merely an aromatic addition to the stomach-challenging cuisine it accompanies. Cardamom is considered one of the most valuable spices in the world due to its rich aroma and therapeutic properties.
