Miraculous spices that prevent cancers!
Today I will recommend you the perfect spice. People use it a little bit, which is a great pity… It has exceptional health benefits. Today I’m going to talk about Cardamom. You will find out what its health benefits are and a little later I will give you the perfect recipe for tea that you can drink every day.
WHAT IS CARDAMOM?
It belongs to the Zingiberaceae or ginger family. There are two main types or subspecies of this spice. Their scientific names are Elettaria, green or true cardamom, and Amomum, which represents black, white or red cardamom. It is indigenous to the wet forests of southern India. Fruits can be harvested from wild plants, but most are grown in India, Sri Lanka and Guatemala.
Green cardamom has an intensely sweet, minty and delicious taste. Both seeds and pods have a rich aroma and are often used in desserts, hot and spicy dishes, as well as aromatic drinks such as coffee and tea. It is considered the queen of spices and is the third most expensive spice after saffron and vanilla. Cardamom essential oil is produced in the cells under the epidermis of the cardamom seed envelope.
The content of cardamom oil in seeds ranges from 2% to 10%, and the main components are cineol and -terpinyl acetate. You can buy cardamom spice and use whole or ground. You can also buy whole pods, remove the seeds and grind them yourself. Some recipes may actually require the use of a whole pod(with intact seeds) to add spices. When you’re done with the recipe, remove the pod.
WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF CARDAMOM?
Cardamom is a very effective treatment for halitosis, also known as bad breath. Simply chewing seeds can help remove unpleasant odors from the mouth. This spice not only kills bacteria that cause bad breath, but can also prevent the formation of caries.
The phytochemicals found in this spice, such as cineol and limonene, have been proven to protect against cancer progression. I personally think this is one of the best properties of cardamom. And that’s preventing cancer. This spice incredibly boosts immunity and is considered a great ally in protecting your health. Cardamom can help lower your blood pressure.
