Wild Cardamom

Amomum Kravanh Net volumes and weight: 50ml / 15g / 0.70oz Origin: Cambodia Description: Cardamom is a spice native to southern India, it was born in the region now called the Cardamom Hills, which dominate the Kerala plain and the Malabar coast in the southwest of the country. The cardamom we offer you here is an endemic variety that only grows in the wild, in the heart of the tropical forests of Cambodia. These are small, smooth seeds, growing on the aerial roots of the plant, which are difficult to harvest by hand when the flowers reach full maturity. The wild cardamom pods are then dried by hand in a smokehouse, taking on a beautiful creamy beige color. These are the small black seeds contained in the pod, which are used in cooking, the beige capsule is indigestible but can be used for infusions. They are very aromatic, dominated by a camphor scent with vegetal notes of eucalyptus. This wild version releases a heady, lemony and minty freshness reminiscent of certain white flowers. Despite its aromatic power, we can distinguish elegant floral notes and touches of sage and laurel.
