Cardamom tea is derived from the crushed seeds of various plants in the Elettaria and Amomum genera. Native to India, but cultivated in many places around Asia and the rest of the world, cardamom seeds are contained within a seed pod and possess a very strong, aromatic flavor that can often dominate other spices in culinary applications. Even though it remains one of the most expensive spices in the world, but with an impressive range of active compounds and nutrients, the benefits it may provide are well worth the price! These health benefits come from the possibly high concentrations of eucalyptol, camphor, limonene, alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, and myrcene, as well as vitamin A, B, and C, potassium, iron, magnesium, copper, and zinc.
