THE BENEFITS OF CARDAMOM
Cardamom, a spice cherished for centuries for its culinary and medicinal properties, found its way to Guatemala in the last century. Thriving in the humid, cool climate of the lush evergreen cloud forests, it’s no surprise that Guatemala has become globally renowned for its high-quality cardamom.
Cardamom is a versatile spice with numerous health benefits, including aiding digestion, providing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, improving oral health, and enhancing respiratory function. It may boost circulation, elevate mood, and help regulate blood sugar levels. Additionally, cardamom is rich in essential minerals, making it a valuable addition to a healthy diet.

Cacao & Cardamom recipe for balance
We recommend trying this delicious recipe during the Mayan Energy of Kej, which embodies the energy of the nature. It's perfect to enjoy this recipe whenever you seek balance.
-Put a piece of your ceremonial cacao into your cup and add double its amount with hot water.
- Stir well until the cacao is completely dissolved.
- Add cardamom to taste, and then fill the rest of your cup with hot water. Stir well to make sure that the cardamom is well integrated into the cacao.
Cardamom is the perfect match for cacao due to its unique flavor profile that enhances the rich, chocolatey notes while adding a warm, aromatic complexity.
