benefits of cardamom
Cardamom can ease inflammation and protect your cells against something called oxidative stress, an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants that can lead to a number of medical issues. It can also help your body handle insulin better. Keep your blood pressure healthy.
How to Grow
Put the seeds in a glass jar and cover with 2.5 percent nitric acid solution. Stir for about two minutes, then pour the seeds and acid into a strainer. Rinse the seeds thoroughly.
Place the seeds into a bowl and cover with lukewarm water; allow to sit overnight.
If planting outdoors, plant your seeds ½ to 1 inch apart, about ⅛ inch deep in a partially shady place. They prefer rich humus soil that’s slightly acidic. Alternatively, you can plant cardamom seeds in a pot, so you can bring the plant indoors to overwinter.
Cover with a mulch of straw or grass. Germination can take anywhere from 20 to 40 days.
Make sure your plants are always partially shaded – don’t be taking a chainsaw to nearby trees. And most importantly, keep the ground moist. They do not like soil that dries out; water regularly if rain is not plentiful.
