Ingredients: Descriptions and Photos
Cardamom, ground

(Cardamom, ground) Cardamom can also be spelled, Cardamon. Cardamom is the fruit or seed of Elettaria cardamomum, a herbaceous perennial plant of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae), which can grow to heights of 12 feet. The seeds have a warm, slightly pungent, and highly aromatic odor and flavor. Originally cultivated in India, Cardamom was probably imported into Europe around A.D. 1214. Today, cardamom is cultivated in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Mexico, Thailand and Central America. Cardamom is used in a variety of cuisines today, primarily in and around the Indian subcontinent (curries) and in Scandinavia (Danish pastry).

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
