Java Cardamom

For those who have never known Cardamom, this is a type of spice that is often used to add flavor and aroma to dishes. Cardamom can make taste of food stronger. This plant is easy to find in Asia, especially in tropical climates.

Cardamom is believed to have good health benefits, such as overcoming heartburn, intestinal spasms, decreased appetite, coughing, constipation, sore throat and mouth, infections, and many more other benefits.

Cardamom can also help people who want to lose weight. So, for people who are on a diet program, they can mix cardamom into food to support the diet program.

Cardamom has substances that act as antimicrobials, these substances fight bacteria and fungi. Cardamom also has a high fiber content so it is very suitable if used as a support for a diet program.

Actually there are many types of cardamom, but I will only share about cardamom from Java, because my brother grows this type of cardamom. In mountainous area where my brother lives, many grow cardamom because it is very easy to care for and this type of Javanese cardamom has a high selling price.

Cardamom plants are almost similar to ginger, but produce fruit near the roots, so the roots must always be clean of weeds in order to produce a lot of fruit. Javanese cardamom has a physical form with a strong stem, and can last for years with its aromatic aroma in various parts. This tree can grow up to two meters. The rhizome grows creeping into the ground, has a slightly rounded size, with a slightly yellowish white color.

I have to learn more to find information about cardamom, this is only a little explanation that I know. Hopefully it can add to your knowledge readers. Thank you!
