Cardamom or kakulé from Royal Brand is an excellent aromatic spice, ideal for pastry making and cooking. The cardamom is available in a 1000-gram package and offers a unique aroma reminiscent of eucalyptus, pine, and mint, with a sweet and intense flavor, accompanied by spicy notes. In Greek cuisine, we often use it in tsoureki, either alone or combined with mastic or mahleb, adding an exceptional taste to traditional sweets.

Besides its use in desserts, cardamom also pairs well with savory dishes. It gives a wonderful flavor to tea and is a key ingredient in the chai Masala spice mix. In Arab countries, it is mainly used to flavor Arabic coffee. In Indian cuisine, it is an integral part of rice dishes, as well as marinades for meats and poultry. It can add depth and flavor to stews, ice creams, puddings, cakes, syrups, and cookies, and pairs beautifully with clove, ginger, anise, mastic, fennel, cinnamon, and mahleb.
