Cardamom Plant – Interesting Facts – Source Wikipedia
The Green Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) is a plant species from the ginger family (Zingiberaceae) within the monocotyledonous plants.
There are two varieties of this species that are used as spices: Malabar cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum (L.) Maton var. cardamomum) and the less valuable Ceylon cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum var. major Thwaites).
Usually, the seeds are used, but often the entire dried capsule fruits are utilized as well.
The capsule fruits (“cardamoms”) of the cardamom plant are handpicked just before ripening because they would otherwise open and lose their seeds. In Arab countries, cardamom is said to have an aphrodisiac effect.
The seeds contain an essential oil that gives them a spicy, sweet, and pungent aroma. Since it evaporates easily, whole capsules are preferable to cardamom powder, which often includes the ground, flavorless fruit shells. It is best to crush or grind the seeds only when needed.
When crushing, press the pestle against the capsule until it pops open. Then remove the husk and grind the seeds. Good cardamom can be recognized by the fresh green color of the capsules and the oily black color of the seeds.
The medically active compound is an essential oil (about 7%), composed of over 120 compounds, primarily alpha-terpinyl acetate (about one-third), cineole (also about one-third), alpha-terpineol, limonene, linalyl acetate, linalool, hydroxycinnamic acid, fatty oil, and starch.
The essential oil stimulates the secretion of saliva, gastric juice, and bile.
