The Cardamom Oil is all you need from the true seed of Elettaria cardamomum plant
"You can buy ground cardamom cloves, but likely you will be missing some of the original seed flavors because cardamom cloves start to lose their flavor soon after it is ground into powder."
Oldfood® Cardamom Oil comes from the only plant known as true cardamom, the Elettaria cardamomum.
For that rich unique twist, use the organic freshly cold-pressed Oldfood®'s Cardamom Oil in your food and beverages instead of perishable cardamoms that are liable to dry up and deteriorate over time.
By weight, Cardamom is the world’s third most expensive spice after saffron and vanilla because it is a very labor-intensive harvesting process. There are many inferior alternatives for Cardamom that is similar in appearance but differ in chemical components. However, Oldfood® Cardamom Oil comes from the only plant known as true cardamom, the Elettaria cardamomum.
• CARDAMOM IS A UNIVERSAL CULTURAL PHENOMENON Cardamom’s origins are of course in the East, where the spice is most prevalently used. In the Middle East, Cardamom is mostly used in beverages like Arabic and Turkish coffee as well as in cooking and sweet pastries. Meanwhile, in India Cardamom is a food staple and is used regularly with various aromatic curries and basmati rice.
Sweden is also at the top of the list of countries that consume the most Cardamom. Although it may seem strange and somewhat disconnected from the lands of the east, Cardamom is hugely popular all over Scandinavia. Vikings first encountered Cardamom through their trade routes with the East around one thousand years ago, and brought it back home with them. Today, Scandinavians use Cardamom mainly for sweet bread like cinnamon rolls (Kanelbullar), cookies, and meats like Swedish meatballs.
