Cardamom is the dried, unripened fruit of the perennial Elettaria cardamomum, which is indigenous to India, Pakistan, Burma, and Sri Lanka. It is widely cultivated and important in world trade. It is considered a high-priced herb and used predominantly to flavor sweets, baked goods, and coffee, particularly in South Asian and Middle Eastern countries. Enclosed in the cardamom fruit pods are tiny, brown, aromatic seeds, which are both pungent and sweet to the taste. Cardamom pods are generally green but are also available in bleached white pod form. Whole pods and decorticated seeds with the outer hull removed are both available.

There are several species that are used like "true" cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum), including species in the Aframomum, and Amomum genera (Zingiberaceae (ginger) family). In general, Aframomum is used as a spice. Elettaria is used both as a spice and as medicine, and Amomum is used as an ingredient in several traditional medicines in China, India, Korea, and Vietnam.

  Function :

its wide use for culinary purposes, cardamom has been used traditionally for a variety of conditions including as a digestive, carminative, stimulant, breath freshener, and aphrodisiac. Cardamom has been found to have cholinomimetic and calcium channel-blocking activity, which may mechanistically support its use for cardiovascular and gastrointestinal disorders. Based on animal and in vitro study, cardamom has also been found to regulate inflammatory and immune activities and may be useful for cancer prevention.

Although several human trials have been conducted using 1,8 cineole, a main constituent of cardamom and other botanicals, there is insufficient human evidence to support the use of cardamom for any indication. Further study is required before firm conclusions may be drawn.
