Cultural & Traditional Relevance

Cardamom holds a special place in Indian culture and Ayurvedic tradition. Known as 'Elaichi' in Hindi, it has been treasured for over 4,000 years as both a culinary treasure and medicinal herb. In ancient Ayurveda, cardamom is classified as a 'tridoshic' spice that balances all three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). It's an integral part of Indian hospitality, often offered in paan or as a mouth freshener after meals. The spice has traveled the ancient spice routes, becoming beloved in Middle Eastern, Scandinavian, and Asian cuisines.
