Botanical Name: Elettaria cardamomum

Extraction Method: Steam Distilled

Origin: Sri Lanka

Product Description: Cardamom has a strong, unique taste, with an intensely aromatic, resinous fragrance. Black cardamom has a distinctly more smokey, though not bitter, aroma, with a coolness some consider similar to mint. Green cardamom is one of the more expensive spices by weight, but little is needed to impart flavor. The large perennial herb yielding Cardamom seeds is known in its own country as ‘Elattari’ or ‘Ilachi,’ while ‘Cardamomum’ was the name by which some Indian spice was known in classical times.

Cautions: Dilute before use; for external use only. May cause skin irritation in some individuals; a skin **** is recommended prior to use. Contact with eyes should be a****ed.

Storage: It is recommended that oils packaged in metal containers (for safe shipping), be transferred into dark glass containers to maintain freshness and attain maximum shelf life.
